Welcome home. I love that Music nib.

 

Hi Amber,

 

This is my favourite pen. It's always in my lineup since arrived from nib.com.

 

I like your Montblanc Starwalker with your name engraved too. It's one of my graal (probably with obb nib)....

Today I have seven pens inked (nothing like amberlea's outrageous display of excess! :) ).

Oldest to youngest:

 

Leboeuf No. 50 Ringtop, c. 1910s, Diamine Sepia

Diamond Medal flattop, c. 1920s, Noodler's Borealis Black

Espey OS flattop, c. 1920s, Noodler's Cayenne

Sheaffer PFM II, c. 1960s, ESS Registrars Ink

Montblanc Carrera, c. 1970s, MB Mahatma Ghandi

Namiki Falcon (resin), 1994, Private Reserve DC Super Show Blue

 

Uncle Red, have you ever restored an Inkograph? Anyone else? I have one that needs fixing and could use some tips (as in, ideas).

I've played with some pens from Nibs.com - great stuff. My favorite was a Sailor Stacked nib with a cross on it. DANG that thing could lay down the ink. Everytime Frank C brought it to a pen posse, I would fondle it (the pen, not Frank).

 

The Starwalker is fineliner and was a gift from a happy client. The OBB nib on the fountain pen would be stunning.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I stalk this thread a lot. I don't usually have time to take pictures of my pens and upload them, since I try to focus more on ink reviews, but I do so love looking at this thread! Everyone's pens are just amazing. Uncle Red ... I'm still staring greedily at that sheaffer with a B nib you've had Aubergine in this last rotation. :D :D :D

(I did this on a slant in order to be able to catch the light, but that meant needing paperclips to keep the pens in place!)

 

 

My snorkel with a factor S5 nib that a friend finally broke down and sold to me because I was so desperate for it.

The first time I've tried this MB 220 with silver trim and OBB nib. I've had it for probably 6 months and just never got around to using it before now.

A new snorkel I just picked up with a factory broad nib for $110 USD. A total steal, in my opinion!

One of my two Kandinsky's - gorgeous and reliable. Bonus shot of the CN Tower in the second picture. :)

TWSBI with factory nib (usually I swap the nibs with pelikan nibs or something else, but this one I love just the way it is) and a bonus picture of Callifolio Ohlanga.

Today I'm using this beautiful Nakaya and a Platinum 3776. Both pens are exceptionally good, but in different ways! :D

 

This Nakaya and your handwriting is amazing.

 

It's a Dream team!

Thanks for the nice comments :)

 

Tas, I'll get some pictures up of both pens when I can. Bed time now :)

 

The Platinum 3776 is kinda like a simple Nakaya. It doesn't look as simple, but it feels simpler, in that it's on the one hand not as refined, and on the other not as raw. It's hard to explain, but basically they feel like the same pen except one's a very good production line pen and one's an exceptional work of art that happens to look like a pen :)

 

Cheers,

Joe

@ saskia_madding - wonderful selection of pens and nibs. Thanks for those pictures. The Stipula is almost my favourite but you really cannot beat a wide Triumph nib :thumbup:

Apprenti, that's exquisite handwriting you've got there. Out of curiosity, which ink were you using?

 

And Saskia, that Stipula Kandinsky looks somehow fascinating, a few notches up from a TWSBI methinks.
