Which One Will Be Your Next Fountain Pen ?

[Thier.]

Lol, no, not at all!

I remember you mentioned transparent green and I just couldn't believe it. Looked everywhere, they were just not available. Yes, there was green one and transparent orange/grey/blue. Few days later it just popped up on ebay - won the auction for £2, lol

Pen is ok and it goes reaaaaaly well with Diamine Jade Green, so thank you

I'm happy to know that YOU are happy !!!!!!

My next pen will be a Parker Vacumatic in blue stripes. I bought it a few days ago and should wait a few days before it arrives ......

[Vgimlet]

Next up, and already in my shopping cart waiting for payday - a Platinum Plaisir (black) and a Nemosine Fission in White.

 

Toward the end of the month I'm getting a TWISBI. Not sure if I'm getting the 580 USA or the AL. I am hoping for good luck with it, as I've heard they can be iffy.

 

Still looking for a Parker 45 (fine or xf nib) in red. I can be very patient.

Esterbrook!! I feel the need for some pearly green in my life. And I'm thinking of a Parker Duofold of some kind to help round out my little collection of vintage Parkers.

 

Congrats on the Vacumatic, Thier! I have an Azure Pearl Vac that I recently repaired all by myself, and have had it attached to my hand ever since!

I've started wanting a Lamy Al-Star in ocean blue, and a white Safari. I only have special edition colors.

 

An Edison Beamont pneumatic filler in stained glass with a 1.1 nib perhaps.

 

Also the Pilot VP Raden looks very nice. If I could get my hands on that tortoiseshell-white Pelikan, wowie! But how do you put ink in those without getting it on the white surface?

 

For those wanting Pelikans, I have two. You'll be very pleased with them.

Blue Pelikan 405 with a Richard Binder gold italifine nib, with flex if he can do it. I have been emailing him about it and may have to wait for the nib to be in stock but I am super excited.

 

I am all about different nibs right now. I am also sending my Montblanc 169 to Pendleton Brown to turn it into a cursive italic, and am waiting for my rose gold TWSBI mini to be returned from Pendleton with added flex!

 

AND I am still waiting for my Butterfly Garden Edison Beumont with the Pneumatic filler. It was delayed slightly but should be here this week or next!!!!

Butterfly Garden! I'm going to have to see what that looks like. Brian Gray uses so many cool materials/colors.

You could probably use this as a flashlight at night! Understated it ain't.

Ha ha! I see what you mean. Thanks for the link. I never found butterfly garden until I used your link. I did find molten ores which I like.

 

Maybe if I get to the Chicago Pen Show in 2015, I'll see both molten ores and stained glass and decide. I got a Menlo at the show this year.

My NEXT pen will be the Pilot Custom 74 with a F NIB in [demonstrator] orange. I might actually look for an EF nib .. but Goulet pens doesn't have it in EF

Nibs.com sells Custom 74's in orange. Order it and get the nib ground to your exact specifications. John Mottishaw does good work.

My next pen probably won't be a pen, per se, but a replacement Binderized cursive italic stub for my older VP...now to decide, 0.8mm vs 0.6mm?

The smaller you go the more like a round nib you get, so I would go for the .8mm or better yet a 1.1.

Butterfly Garden is the lovely blue and purple in the upper corner; not that horribly bright green in the main window you quoted!!!!

Hi everyone, this is my first post! Been a long time lurker, decided to join so I can maybe contribute in the future

 

Anyway, in the mail I have a black Noodler's Konrad coming, as well as a Lamy CP1 (I already had that but I was getting it exchanged due to a minor defect). As for future pens...I'd love to score a Waterman 52!

Can you tell I am protective of my purple blue? Some (my husband) will say Butterfly Garden is not an improvement though. ;-)
