What Was Your Last Impulsive Pen Acquisition?

I got this vintage  sailor 1911 Lady pen . I guess it is similar to Sailor Pro-gear  slim  pen but it is chubby than those lady pens. I was curious so I bought it. When I receive  it I can compare it to my other Pro-gear slim pens I have.

 

That's a very interesting pen.  When the cap is screwed onto the back it becomes a full sized pen...  very cool. 👍😀

Reminds me of a Professor Gear, Slim Mini except for the threads on the back.

I just won a Yahoo Japan auction 18 pens, 18 inks.  Here are the pens...

Wow, talk about a win, that’s amazing. I have a lot of Kaweco pens. Enjoy!

It might be rare because I can't find a picture of one with threads on the finial.

  Some Sailors are really hard to find. I’ve been looking for a Sailor Classicus Plus for awhile now, with no luck.

What does it look like?  Do you have a pic?

 

[Inkyways]

@USG I haven't  received it yet. I may get it in 3-4 days. So I don't have pictures except this one I used from the sellers listing . As soon as I get it I'll post back with details. Hope it takes the same  Sailor converter I have . If it is already have it converter ??? I 'm  not sure . The listing was a short  and It was a well known seller for me . So I went for that. 

The nib ...It is vintage . I already have some Sailor profit Slims bought about   8-10 years back  . They are already vintage by the nibs.

A VERY nice colour range in one haul. 😄👍

No, unfortunately. The one I used belongs to a pen club member. It has a cap marked “sliver” in English on the clip, but no alloy number, a leather covered barrel, and a slim profile. There’s a silver finial on the end of the barrel. I think it’s from the late 1970s or ‘80s.

  I have a PGS mini that came with a mini converter, the vintage pen looks like it would take it. The converter is easily available at many stores.

Thanks for all the comments on the Kawecos.  I'm particularly excited about the Bungubox collaboration Sport.

ST DuPont Defi Millenium with medium nib.  A very smooth writer but a bit of a hard starter, even with its hooded nib.  
 

Didn’t even flush it out before using though so will reserve judgement until a few more fills are completed.   Quality seems very high otherwise.

@Inkyways I don't think I've ever seen a Sailor pen that is like that one before (although admittedly I'm not that versed in all their lines).  Nice find!  

Now wondering if they came in other colors besides black... my wallet!  My poor poor wallet!

I didn’t notice that one at first. Do they have a range of nib sizes?

I look forward to all your updates.... 😀👍  it seems as though it's a rare pen because I can't find a pic of one with cap threads on the finial, anywhere.  Cool Find !!!

 

EDIT: Mystery Solved.  I found a pic.  It's called a Sailor Sapporo Mini.   Please post comparison pics of the Sapporo Mini and the Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini , if that's the other one you have. 😀

That's a very nice pen.. 😀👍

What ink are you using?

[lascosas]

Misfit-

Yes on the nib sizes, though the mystery of this auction purchase is that I have no idea what nibs any of the 18 have.  The problem, at least for me, with buying the Bungubox pen has been that it comes with a glass wand.  The going price is about $200 USD.  This is without the wand.

Diamine sunset orange which is fairly close to the pens body to my eyes (but not quite a perfect match).

I'm waiting for confirmation, but I very impulsively bought a 1945 Conway Stewart 55 with a Duro nib. I was saving for an Onoto Scholar; I'll just have to start again.

There was a set of Caran d’Ache Leman pens (fountain and ballpoint matching) on eBay with a reasonable BIN price and I was …reasonable. Yeah, that’s what I’ll tell myself. I watched the listing for a few days hoping someone else would perceive the great value represented and take the initiative to acquire these for themselves, and alas, nobody did, so eventually it fell to me to do so, in a weak moment. 
 

The color combination is one I like, they’re early 2000s production, and maybe my wife will appreciate the ballpoint.
