Which is your favorite?

Had to be the Waterman Ink Vue with the Brown keyhole nib.

It seems people are trying to make Omas style Arco again.  ASC had an Arco style blue white Mora Stylos pen.  Now Leonardo has some grey Arco style material.  So i ordered one.  Curious to see what it'll actually look like compared to the pictures.

 

 

Oooooh... très chic!

 

I was somewhat impulsive myself today.

Got sniped when I placed a bid on a Pelikan M700 Toledo (old style with two-tone F nib). The Toledo was very budget-priced (well, at least for a Toledo with matching box) and (not liking F nibs) I had already sourced a matching B nib elsewhere. Placed my bid in the last minute and then I was the only bidder until... a few seconds before the auction ended a second bidder came in and sniped me.

I went "Oh... okay?", turned around and bought a M700 Toledo from the same time right on the spot, with BB nib, box, outer box and papers, costing me only a few Euros more than the first one plus the spare B nib.

 

Guess that counts as impulsive...

A Kaweco Collection because I have been looking for a pocket pen and it came in olive drab with gold (colored) hardware. Too cool to not immediately buy.

Hopefully it lives up to expectations.  🤣

Please be aware, "Sanity" is overrated. I tried it a few times and it drove me crazy.

Chose to revert to my normal self.

The Wing Sungs don't post.   They. Don't. Post.  Ink capacity is wonderful, especially with an EF or F.  I can send you one if you want to swap out the nib for something BB. I smile thinking of you and all that ink! I accidentally ordered an extra.

 

The ombré pen is narrow in the hand, but maybe is available in a broader nib.  I like that one.

 

 

I may take you up on that offer in the future, but for now I'm good.  Thank you!!!

It is a beauty!

it's not a wet noodle, but the nibs are quite easy to flex with just a bit of pressure that you have to be conscious of using a light hand if you want to maintain a consistent fine line throughout.

 

 

Thank you for sharing!

Ditto! My first FP in a while, I couldn't resist the proper green.

 

I think Wearingeul Mad Hatter might suit it nicely, barring any other olive ink.

I am glad I am not alone in my love for this pen. I'll check Mad Hatter out.

That's a very tasteful haul, Pakman. A fine selection.

Ended up getting my first Parker 51 a few days ago for my birthday! It's burgundy aerometric and has a pretty smooth medium nib.

Happy birthday, Mayo!

 

That's a great birthday present. What do you think, are you happy with it?

I've just this minute purchased a Diplomat Bijou because I apparently can't get enough of writing with eeny-meeny, teeny-tiny doll pens like the white Butterfly I was using the other day.  This one is red, and I can't wait for it to get here.

The first impulsive purchase which was triggered last week by ink shopping. Sorry for the photo quality, it's my first time.
