And you are using grey ink with a gray pen for the letter G.

BTW: She made herself somewhat famous in the latest issue of "The Pennant". I'll say no more, except...

 

What? You aren't a member of the Pen Collectors of America? For a very low yearly membership, you get this great magazine 3 times a year, access to all kinds of information online - especially helpful to people with interests in vintage pens - and in general, help the pen community at large.

 

Quite worthwhile, and now with Added Plistumi!

 

Ooh... interesting. Thank you for letting us know.

Well, I had not realized I did that... But now that you mention it, now I have even more ways to be even more obsessive-compulsive. You rock, Amberleadavis! thumbup.gif

 

Todays word is GRAPE.

Respect!

Today's words are GRAPESHOT and GRAVITATION. This is the end of the Bexley Americanas (for now). I am including all the pens in this last picture. Pretty, pretty eye candy. Yum!

Six Bexley Americanas, do they all have the same nib? Interesting how they have different trim. I guess that you like these pens.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Well, I admit I like the Americanas. The reason why I like them is because they seem to be a tribute to the Wahl-Eversharp Dorics which are one of my favorite pen designs. I am a sucker for faceted pens. Here is a little ladies Doric with an sweet adjustable nib. (I think the color is Burma Pearl, somebody please correct me if I am wrong.) The Americanas have different nibs, F gold, F steel, factory stub, and a medium.

 

Today's word is GHOUL. The ink is DeAtramentis Lilac. It is scented.

Frank C: The pens are intact. The range.... not so much.

Jon: Yep. That's me with a porcupine quill.

 

Today's words are: GRACES and GRAMMAR. Terrible things can happen if a grammatical is involved. Sad, sad.

Thanks! Love the De Atramemtis Patchouli! I don't have any De Atramentis inks but may need to get some. Of course the Tsuki-yo looks wonderful too, but I have that one.

The patchouli is an interesting color. It is very similar to the Noodler's Galileo Manuscript Brown.

WOW - I am so impressed.

 

You really are going to have to make these into cards or something.

 

BTW, I used one of your letters to show my children cursive-italic. You are a hit!
