Which One Will Be Your Next Fountain Pen ?


Thier.

Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out a way to snag one of these gift sets: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003EUM9UC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1416998777&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

 

If I can get it price matched at OfficeMax and use a coupon it would be pretty affordable. (I'm new at this.)

 

I'm also looking forward to getting a Pilot Metropolitan and some other "starter" pens.

I just got my weekly email from JetPens, and they posted a photo of some absolutely stunning new pens! My jaw dropped when I saw the photo - I'm going to have a hard time staying away from this one...

The Fireblue Steel Kaweco Liliput is coming soon to JetPens! Each genuine steel Liliput is heated up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and turned by hand, resulting in a completely unique look.

Omigosh, I saw the email from JetPens earlier and fell in love with that Liliput! I'm finally buying the brass wave one soon.. The Fireblue Steel is now on my hit-list.

WOW. Thank you for sharing, as I don't get those emails. Added to my list, for sure.

I haven't opened that E-mail yet, but I love those pens. That industrial look is great!

Right now I'm waiting for Jet Pens to get the Kaweco Skyline Sport back in Mint. I've never had a Kaweco, and kind of like the mint color as I got some mint bracelets from Fossil this year. Also, green is underrepresented in my fountain pens. Plus Kaweco in this model is very affordable.

 

What I really want but can't seem to justify (time to think of others for Christmas) is the Visconti van Gogh Irises fountain pen. Plus oh those color choices from Edison Pens. I saw Stained Glass at the Chicago Pen Show and thought that would make a good next Edison, until I saw on through their site the Molten Ores. So I want both. Sigh.

Yay for Kaweco Skyline Mint! I love mine. It's very nearly white, unless you have it sitting next to something white. The grey version is lovely too.

TWSBI 580 B nib from isellpens.com. Wanted to buy from the Goulet's but with the website issues decided to go elsewhere.

I was wondering that myself. Jetpens sells the aluminum Liliputs for $55 and the brass for $83.50.

 

Kaweco's website doesn't have any mention of these fireblue steel pens yet, but they have a stainless steel version and a copper version that they say are currently exclusively sold at Manufactum department stores in Germany (interestingly, only through November 2014 - so these two might be coming to America soon?)

 

On Manufactum's site, they list Liliput fountain pens for the following amounts:

aluminum, 41€ ($51)

brass, 62€ ($77)

stainless steel, 73€ ($91)

copper, 84€ ($105)

 

So on Jetpens, I would expect a regular stainless steel to go for about $98 and a copper for $113. This fireblue steel might fall in between the regular steel and the copper - so I'd expect around $100 - $110.

Platinum 3776 Century, Pilot Custom Heritage 92, Pelikan M200, and eventually a Nakaya... although which one, I'm not yet sure. After all this, I'll either stop buying until something I really love comes along, or start buying vintage. (Waterman and Esterbrook, I'm looking at you!)
