St. Patty Says Show Your Green Pens

[dcpritch]

St. Patty's day is just around the corner and its time to show a little green!

 

Here are my green American pens - Estie J, Salz, Sheaffer OS, Wahl Eversharp Equi-Poised, Wahl Oxford, Eversharp Skyline, No-name, Conklin Endura Symetrik:

 

A couple of English pens, a Strand and an Onoto 5123:

 

And then a handful of green German pens - two Kaweco Sports (the first one is really clear, not green, but it has green highlighter ink in it so I think that qualifies) and three Pelikans (M1000, 140, 100N):

 

And finally a couple of vintage Italian celluloids - Montegrappa and Stilnova:

 

 

I hope others will add their green pens!

What's the nib on the no-name pen? It looks like a late Eclipse or an Enduro...

What's the nib on the no-name pen? It looks like a late Eclipse or an Enduro...

 

The No-name has, of course, no markings whatsoever. The nib, which I'm not convinced is original, says "Welsh Mfg. Co. / Stainless / Providence / R.I." Both ends of the pen have intricate milling with nine fluted grooves, as shown on the photo below. If you have an idea as to its maker I'd love to know. But its a great looking pen, no matter who made it.

The ink in the clear Kaweco Sport above is Noodler's St. Patty's Eire, nicely reviewed here by Paperskater.

Your Gold Seal is gorgeous, as is the Edison! What is the name of the urushi finish and color on your Edison?

OS Doric, actually. Only attractive 'cause I've managed not to show the crazing in the photo :-)

 

Finish on the Edison is "Midori Ishime no Kuro Tamenuri".

What a great looking bunch of awesome pens! I could comment on each, but I think the one that caught my eye and held it the longest is the Waterman 92V, the one missing its clip. Fantastic celluloid, and I love its cap band - I don't think I've seen that before.

 

Thanks for sharing!

I just happened to have all of my green pens out because that is the theme for the Seattle Pen Club meeting next weekend. So it was pretty easy to throw them all into an empty drawer and shoot them. It was pure coincidence that the number of green pens exactly equaled the number of slots in the drawer.

 

The pens are:

1. Waterman Carene Sea Green Shimmer

2. Danitrio Tosca Green Ripple Hard Rubber

3. Waterman Phileas

4. Wing Sung G612

5. Taccia/Swisher Premier Mint Stripe

6. Pelikan M400

7. Sheaffer Balance Marine Green

8. Sheaffer Imperial Pencil

I'm green with envy over all the great pens shown here!

Thanks dcpritch. I don't know what the official Waterman name for the pattern is. 92's and 92V's in this color, plus silver and gold 'snakeskin' versions, come up reasonably frequently. They are definitely less common than the 'normal US' colors. I believe that most, but not all of pens found in these pattern were made in Canada (maybe in England too?)

 

Best, greg

And how about some Vacs?
