What Pen Did You Get Today?

[rahulg]

Yesterday my mom dropped by and gave me a Parker 61 BP gifted to her by her brother, some 40 years back. I know this is the FPN, but what gives! Atleast I can boast of a P61 ball pen!

[sph33r]

Snagged a working Parker 51 yesterday. Quite excited to finally own one.

[Pippin60]

My first none fountain pen purchase in a very long time. A Michaels Fat Boy P51, its kind of a novelty item, I brought it more for the P51 theme.

Green translucent Sheaffer Nononsense w/ Medium Nib. Loving it!

Mid-size (ie relatively small) Sailor 1911 Series Profit 14Kt. Black with a fine nib. This may be the pen which gets me to start posting the cap - it's only 135mm long with the cap closed.

 

Looks simple (and lovely).

Well, a Parker 65. Black barrel and chrome cap-in good to excellent used conditon. Took a punt on ebay, it was in a group of ballpoints as a bulk lot. Paid around $30US and also ended up with a Parker Rialto ballpoint and a Parker fibre tip pen which was new to me, plus some junk. Proof bargains do exist on ebay !! Hugh

A Cross Sauvage Zebra Onyx. It's such a beauty! My expectations vere very high and even so it is better than I thought it would be. It is both beautiful and an excellent writer. I'm so very happy.

I just wanted to start a poll showing the new pens people get every day!

 

Have Fun!

 

 

 

Ordered a Conway- Stewart Churchill.

Just got a new Green Marble Phileas Fine Point. Ebay for $7 which increases the cost to value ratio of this pen even more. Writes beautifully.

On Saturday, I paid for part of one of these, but I don't get to bring it home until I pay the balance. Still, it's almost like buying a pen, right?

I got two today.

 

An ebonite Danitrio Densho and a tamenuri Danitrio Mikado.

 

I also got a new nib for my Pelikan M800. It's a Binder duopoint fine/.8mm stub I think.

An Omas Paragon (1980s) knocked at my door... I'm so happy

Unfortunately today was a really long work day... so I don't have the will to play with it. Too bad. But she cannot run away now!

A nice unusual Parker Vacumatic Shadow Wave

[sdcurnow]

I just received back from Dillo my Waterman L'Etalon. He did a "fine" job regrinding it to a fine cursive italic nib. (See a handwritten mini-review here).

1. A Parker Vacumatic Silver Pearl standard-sized single jewel - from Israel

 

 

2. A mint, uninked, undipped black, gold-trimmed Aurora Optima when I visited my local pen expert to tighten the loose clip on my Tibaldi Modello 60 whose leaking piston he had also repaired last week. This Optima was actually sent to him by Aurora to replace a faulty one. However the owner refused to collect the replacement pen (apparently, he was royally p i s s e d off with Aurora) and since 2 years had passed since then, the pen expert decided to offer it to me to recover his costs off sending the faulty Optima to Italy for replacement.

 

I do not know whether this qualifies as a 'sumgai' moment for me, but I paid for this spanking new pen, with box but the wrong papers (it was for a 88 ) for the equivalent of US$120 only

*swoons* Where are you getting your Bernini from Deirdre? And how long before you get to take it home?

 

Today, I received this pen, ordered back in August.

I have total envy over this pen, though I'd like one in platinum over kikyo (blue).

I received a Red Lamy Al-star with a medium nib and some violet ink from Pen-City yesterday. I love these things ( I also have a well worn Al-star in grey). Very nice writers, right out of the box.

Today I received a Sheaffer PFM 1 and I am delighted with it
