What Pen Did You Get Today?

[tawanda]

Today I got my very first rare (ish) Parker 45. A chrome harlequin shield design. In original box. Gorgeous. Feel like I'm a real collector now!

Just got a namiki falcon from Holt's for 50% off. So far a superwet writer but I've only filled it up with Namiki blue thus far.

Bought a Pelikan M650 today.

I know a large part of the money goes to the cap but it's simply lovely.

[Zeroblade]

Got a random Inoxcrom which I don't know the model of. It was an impulse buy, but the pen writes unbelievably smoothly; it's a quick starter too, and has just about zero tooth or feedback.

I got a Reform Classico from speerbob a couple of days ago and forgot to note it here. Nice pen. It's just a bit bigger than the more common 1745.

[Solomander]

Got 3 Montblancs yesterday afternoon from the Holt's sale. Got a 149 with a fine nib, a Faulkner with a medium nib and a historical pen with a medium nib. I am going to take the 2 medium nibbed pens to MB and switch them to fine. I am a little bit embarrassed, but will put 2 of the pens away and use them in a few months. I am most excited about the historical pen.

Got a Parker 45 dual pen desk set. Both broad nibs, but in excellent condition. I may swap on of my F nibs on one of them, so i have choice of fine or broad, for filling out forms, or signing documents. Good buy on eBay at $26.49 including shipping.

This just got here, J Esterbrook, it's going to need a new sac. Very stiff nib but [dare I say it] it fits my big paw MUCH better than my beloved Balances......

[Djehuty]

I just got a very nice blue Esterbrook J as well. It's going to need a new sac and a bit of cleaning; then I have to decide whether to make my green Estie or my blue Estie into my first stub.

Kudos to Docnib! I received both my brown and my black NN today. Glee!

[PAKMAN]

A late 20's Conklin Endura desk pen with a big Endura nib. The color is beautiful, it is an amber marbled color.

[MrRogers]

I got my van gogh back from visconti for a nib change, does that count?

 

Also got an esterbrook from the marketplace

My Shaeffer Prelude should arrive tomorrow and I bought a black Parker P25 as well, which I can't wait to get because it's a pen very special to me.

[wushuguy]

I bought a 1745 reform today, and just won an auction on a Sailor PG with gold trim. This will be my very first fountain pens I am so excited

[StephY]

Thanks to jimg, I got a Conway Stewart Duro today in Woodgrain Ebonite with an IF nib.

Retro 51 big tornado RB in cognac. Necessary evil for triplicates at work. Not bad for 30$

A green pen and pencil Wearever set that I am looking forward to inking and using. I also got a brown Wearever set that was not as nice as described on ebay. Rather that throwing the pencil away I've got the set sitting in a drawer until I calm down about it.
