What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015


RMN

Recommended Posts

I have fallen off the wagon and bought some fountain pens.

 

I'm waiting for some Jinhao Ebony Jewel fountain pens. They look like a Lamy Safari knockoff. I'm hoping that I'll have better luck with these than with the Safari I bought used here some years ago.

On a sacred quest for the perfect blue ink mixture!

It's not in the mail yet, but considering it's scheduled for September/October, it could be any day now:

I am currently on fountain pen probation via the wife. :(

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger I put my dress on, one leg at a time, as well.

Vintage Wearever and Arnold lever fillers I snagged on eBay. Really excited for that 14kt goodness.

And they have arrived today, two days earlier than predicted.

 

Unfortunately, I am finding that I could have bought them for much less money :crybaby: .

 

Now to find out if the extra I've paid for these pens was worth it.

On dear, eBay is cancerous. Now I'm buying cheap Chinese goodies that will take 1-2 months to arrive. But I did just order me this beauty.

Also got me a Chinese single pen case as well

I finally bit the bullet on a Pilot Custom 823 M. I've been reading reviews about this pen for over a year and dithered about it. But then the other day I jumped like a rabbit on the 2015 LE Collier and it made me think, "if I can make a snap purchase on a pen sight unseen, why haven't I bought the pilot that I've been lusting over for months already?"

 

So off to ebay I trotted and I'm feeling pretty good about things now. :)

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.

Just got the dispatch mail from Massdrop. My two Metropolitans are on their way! :)

 

Heh, another fellow MD addict. I just got notice for the Retro 51 Tornado from a little while ago.

So last week I order a single Platinum Preppy and got charged for a single Platinum Preppy. Today when it arrived I discovered that Amazon sent me a box of ten Preppys
