What Pen Did You Get Today?

[momo]

I couldn't help it... Kikki-k (Sydney) had a 20% off everything sale, so I bought my

second Lamy Safari :embarrassed_smile:

A Lamy Safari Charcoal Fine arrived in the mail today. Yay, My first Lamy!

I got my Danitrio Mae West!!

OK, it was a couple of days ago. An etched sterling Edward Todd dip pen and pencil set. I wrote a few Christmas cards with the dip pen last night.

I just got a Sheaffer Valliant Vac Fill with triumph nib in Red Stipe. Gerry Berg did the restoration for me. After admiring his display of pens at the Ohio Show, I found a vac-fill Valliant for a good price on Ebay and sent it off to Gerry for restoration. It just came back and I'm using it today.

After months of waiting, I finally laid hands on my new Sailor Hanzi. Ooooh it's nice; and interesting from a cultural perspective with its bone and bronze script engravings.

 

Still waiting for for the Hughes "Spruce Goose" commemorative pen, with convergent radiation shock fill system and the quantum foam ink reservoir (pat. pending). I last talked to His Exaltedness at the bottom of a 300 meter deep crater splattered with iroshizuku fuyu syogun and very small bits of urushi coated carbon fibre: he pronounced himself "disappointed" with the performance of the hohlraum.

I love those old etched dip pens and your example is just stunning!

Amazing.

 

I went home after a short weekend trip this afternoon to find the postman left two newly received pens out of the box (slightly concealed but still visible and reachable from the street). The sad news is: those were days of hard rain. Luckily the sellers were both provident and they used hard plastic tubes for shipping.

 

I was lucky. Then I received two ole balances:

- a Black Lifetime medium hump clip (working)

- a Jade 5-30 long hump clip (to be restored)

 

Happy day, at the end!

I got a Delta Planet Africa (amber top) medium nib this weekend. It is my first Delta and the thickest pen I've ever written used. I loaded it with Manuscript Brown and let me say that it is super smooth! Now I'm lusting after a Dolcevita piston filler.

Bexley Simplicity in Tortoise with a Binderized .7mm cursive italic. I just inked it with Diamine Raw Sienna and looking forward to using it.

I just got a Sheaffer 350 from Richard Binder and it writes very nice. I got the pen off of ebay this summer and when I went to ink it the piston pulled out of the pen. Richard brought this one back from the scrape heap!!

Got an pretty red Esterbrook SJ off Ebay, very cheap. After a little cleanup and inspection....SAC was ok and pliable...found the pen to be really sweet. Has a 2550 nib and lays down a really fine line, slightly oblique in my opinion from inspection with loupe. I don't know if it has been reground by some previous owner or not. Also will bite into the paper slightly on right hand strokes, but if kept at the proper angle, it is smooth as silk.

Not a pen as such, but I got an 0.6mm Binder stub for my VP today. It's brilliant.

Wow.

 

This is one of those pens where my brain says: Hard Candy! Must chew on it! Bad idea : )
