The jewel.

[box_camera]

I have prettier pens than my Eversharp Skyline (including a Doric that was an amazing antique store find), but the Skyline is my favorite. It really embodies the mid-century modern aesthetic and there's something almost dieselpunk and retro-futuristic about it. Like pen designers just after WWII were designing what they thought the Pen of Tomorrow would look like. I keep it inked with Ancient Copper. (Not my photo, just something I yanked off the internet, but this is the same color as mine.)

Hard to decide. Several candidates include:

 

S.T. Dupont Montparnasse Chairman (large)

Waterman Le Man 100 Solid 18k gold godron

Classic Pens (Andreas Lambrou) LB5 Tairiku (Amethyst Mauve) finish, based on Sailor King of Pen

OMAS Ogiva Arco Brown with gold trim

Probably one of these. I can't decide.

This is my most beautiful pen. I have shown it at FPN before, but thisis the one I find to be the most beautiful.

 

Thierry Testud - unique model - galalith and maple burl.

Parker Vacumatic Major in Blue Pearl

 

 

LOVE the color of that pen! I just got an Emerald Pearl (dark green) Vacumatic, and the mid-century styling is superb.

[Blue_Moon]

Probably my Danitrio CumLaude - Blue Marble.

Looks really good, very steam punky... I like it.

 

My current one is my Parker Duofold International Black and Pearl, hopefully not will get pushed back to the second position sonly.

I am fortunate to have both the blue and the red (burgundy) marbleized Parker Duofold Centennials, together with matching pencils and ball point (the blue) and roller ball (the burgundy). Both exhibit fantastic almost iridescent coloration. Wish I had a camera so I could take shots to show y'all.

 

Since I don't I refer you to this link on the Parker Pens Penography site: http://parkercollector.com/limitededition.html

 

Since Parker also issued this is a green marble y'all can probably guess what's on my grail list!

[jmccarty3]

I have the blue marble Centennial in the original style with the thinner clip and the flat cap bands. The green marble pens were originally made only in the International size, as a special edition for customers of American Express. I have the FP and BP, neither one ever used, with their clip stickers still attached. Don't know what they're worth, but I expect they'd be fairly hard to find.

The green is also wonderful! I hope someday I'll have all the 5 colors of this model...

My most beautiful pen may have been my professionally restored Wahl Eversharp Coronet with Dubonnet inserts. A colleague wanted it so badly, he has it now!

Although highly unpractical, you win this one.

Revising... (Though the Gold-Pearled Vacumatic does hold some regards for celluloid beauty).

Thanks to your comment, I have been strongly interested in Classic Pens (Andreas Lambrou) LB5 Tairiku (Amethyst Mauve) finish. At last I have got the pen! i was made acutely aware of the fact that there are various pitfalls anywhere.

My garnet red Waterman Carene is probably the pen that I find the most beautiful right now, but each one of my pens was purchased because I found them beautiful, so picking one is really hard!
