Which One Will Be Your Next Fountain Pen ?

[BT-7274]

Not quite a pen, but an M800 nib or Platinum 3776 nib for use in a Vac700 may be in the future.

There are several calling my name. The 2 top contenders are:

1. an OMAS in Arco Bronze finish, either a Milord or an Ogiva Vintage.
2. a Nakaya . . . [too many models and finishes to name].

 

If I may presume to advise--I decided on the Ogiva for my Arco rather than the faceted Milord. It has proved to be one of the most beautiful pens I have. The finish is stunning. I'm saving up for a Nakaya as well. We must have good taste!

Heh, clearly!

 

I like the Ogiva shape, and it would give me a matched pair since I already have the Saft Green version. But I also like variety, so that's the argument for a Milord.

Since my Naka-ai arrived I can't decide on what's next. It sort of crashed my list of next in line FP desires. Maybe a wild Scriptorium?

My next pen for X-mas is a modern Conway Stewart 100 in classic green.

I've gotten pulled into the vortex of the Conway Stewart 58 nibs, so I'll probably be looking for another one soon!

 

And if I can save my pennies long enough...and ....and... I won't say which other ones I have on my list!

Smoked Oak Ondoro for next year august... hopefully by then I have the funds

I've just been told by a friend that he wanted to get rid if his Waterman Edson ...... Perhaps it will be my next pen ..... Let's see tomorrow ........

Guys! Guys! I got my TWSBI diamond 580! I'm in a hotel right now, so I don't have access to the whole dishsoap-rinse thing, but that will be the first thing I do when I get to my parents' tomorrow morning.

 

Now . . . which will be my next next fountain pen?

Maybe a vintage Aurora 88. I started out with this one along the same line as the 51s. Didn't care for the look, the hassle of tracking down one in good condition for an acceptable price, etc. It's growing on me, so I may end up picking one up to see what the deal is.

 

I'm also eying something in either a Pilot or Sailor. I keep bouncing around the nib options, so I need to do more reading.

[The Blue Knight]

Thinking of going for a Diplomat Esteem next as Diplomat has been intriguing me for a long time and the Esteem seems like a nice every day pen.

Franklin Christoph 02 Intrinsic with a Mike Bold Italic nib. Also, really wanting a Scriptorium custom job and a Sailor Pro Gear 2.

A few days after Santa has come, I'm quite sure that many of you have received their "next" pen ....Personnaly, I did not but have an eye on a Sheaffer 440 blue seen on ebay......

[TeaHive]

Even though I am happy with my Noodler's Ahab/G nib modification, I'm going to order a Desiderata pen in a couple days! Wooden writing instruments are delicious to hold! And I am on the hunt for suitable Parker 51 Aero parts to go inside the Ariel Kullock barrel and hood I have sitting on my desk.

My next pen is next no more : I received a M800 with a bent nib from a friend who bought a M1000 instead of fixing the problem ..... I did it myself ....

Do you have a 'before' picture? Just curious.

I knew I should have ..... But so in a hurry to have it back with his original shape ......

Anyway, I wonder if my friend hadn't a picture with the bent nib ........

I've been looking at Scriptorium Pens over the last couple days, drooling over Renee's work and looking at pen blanks--likewise drooling over all the options. But I'm thinking that a honey and bee themed pen would like to be made for me.
