What's Your Most Recent Addition To The Flock?

[christof]

Berlin-Collectible is probably one ot the most expensive sellers on ebay for Pelikans.

I can't imagine that they ever sell only one pen for these prices...

I just literally bought the pen of my dreams...The Pelikan Lighthouse of Alexandria.

 

When it does arrive, I intend to post a review with pics. I am beyond excited!

I have noticed when I look at Ebay offerings that they usually have the same pens available as the last time I looked.

Thank you!! It will probably first be in January as it won´t be opened before Christmas night I just did not expect to buy it now so it was such a surprise, but found it half price from a lovely shop and I could simply not say no. It was really destined to be mine hehe

 

I can´t wait to see it and try it, also the famed "M100" size nib which I hear is super soft

FedEx tells me my M200 in green marble finish barrel is out for delivery.

2nd most recent - 3 Jinhao's x450's.

Less than 9.00 USD delivered for the set.

They work really well.

I am happy.

Using Parker Quink Black ink.

The jury is still out on the Hero ink that I tried.

The Hero ink *may* have not worked because of the green ink (see below) or from interactions with the Parker ink - not sure.

 

One problem - I put the wrong kind of ink in one of the and it was a chore to get it working right after that.

Green ink it was apparently not for fountain pens.

^{Newest pen: From an antique store grab bag, an Esterbrook.}

^{$1.00 usd.}

^{Also picked up a Case knife for $1.00 and a broken fountain pen for $1.00.}

^{I am not yet sure if the knife is the same "case" brand that I am hoping it is.}

 

^{Inked the Esterbrook and it writes.}

^{It has a fine point the digs into the paper a bit, and I did not like is as much as my Jinhao.}

^{Gave it to my kids who seemed intrigued by a free pen.}

Oh my! That looks great.

Oh my! That looks great.

My thought as well; Great pens and wonderful pics, very nice.

It's been a while since i last posted a new pen. The oldest new pen is the M101n Lizard with a .28 EF nib. After that came an 100N OB and the 100N fluted cap with a medium CN nib. Next were the M250 F and the M200 EF. The newest pen of the bunch is the M101N Red Tortoise EF. The M101n brown tortoise is there for color.

 

I have to admit that i was pleasantly surprised to find that the nib on Red Tortoise is not as hard as the nibs on the previous two M101n's!

M1000 came in the mail today.

A M400 fine White Tortoise. Smooth, like all of the Pelikans. I am surprised that it took this long to order one.

M1000 came in the mail today.

Lovely pen and nib

[maverick777]

My sumgai Pelikan M605 black/silver in EF arrived today. Crazy auction win for under $130 brand new. I thought there was no way it'd end that low, but it did.

I started to collect vintage Pelikan pens and ephemera two years ago. I am not a serious collector. I just like the designs, the history, and having representative examples … some that i can match with ephemera.

 

I have been fortunate enough to get this rolled-gold 500, rolled gold pencil, and case which will complement an original introductory pamphlet on the introduction of the 400 line. I had the green and tortoise sets.

I'll put it all together for a picture after the new members of the flock arrive.

Pelikan custom m200. Gosh I love this pen. Writes like a dream and looks good too.

Sorry there was supposed to be a photo there, for some reason I can't get it uploaded from my IPad.

Can anyone help?
