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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thanks, amberleadavis. The broad Bexley nib on the pen writes buttery smooth, right from the start (no pre-washing, etc). I love that DC SS Blue ink.

Amberlea, ugliness knows no bounds:

Only one word for that pen: MAGNIFICENT. Wait, two words: MAGNIFICENT and GLORIOUS. OK, three words...

I believe it was this deep violet-blue monster, that looks like it has an ecto-skeleton. Funky!

Thanks, though the Blue O' Blue is one of those pens that is far prettier in person than a picture can show.

 

Hi Clive, looking good there. :)

 

Tringle, the stub on that Waterman is the bomb!

 

Amberlea wanted to see an old pen, so I used a brand new ink (just arrived today) in a not-black-any-longer Aikin Lambert. The "R" imprint on the nib is pretty uncommon. The clip imprint bears a patent date of "Oct. 9 09"; judging by the clip and lever style, I'd say this pen is from the period 1915 to 1920.

Anyway, its fun to use and I LOVE Sailor's new Cigar ink! (Thanks you-know-who)

dcpritch - With a little help from my friends, I now am more educated on different nib sizes.

 

I have a pen restorer close to home in Arizona - Aaron Svabik of Pentiques - No affiliation but spent some time with him in his workshop the other day and it was really cool. I was hoping we would break out with the Star Wars toys at some point but our moms called us and I had to go home. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am sure there are other FPNers who will like this pen, Saskia was the first one I thought of.

 

Happy Holidays!

Troy

wow tringle ... that is AMAZING. You're right. :) I *do* love that pen. The nib is gorgeous!

 

And dcpritch, I'm so glad you love that ink. Isn't it gorgeous? Man, Sailor makes me so happy with their inks. :D

 

Happy holidays everyone! I have lost my camera somewhere in the holiday mess, so I'll have to dig it up before I can post a new show of my awesome BB Sheaffer triumph nibs I'm currently using. :D
