It's here, it's here!! First pen I've ever owned that's (probably) older than I am, first lever filler I've used in more than thirty years. My mint-green Esterbrook J arrived in today's mail after getting a new sac, trading the mismatched (early J type, plain clip three-rib) cap for a matching one, and getting a new barrel jewel. The 2556 nib is "just" a nice fine, but that's subject to change when I can find/afford a stub, italic, or flex nib for it. Now inked with PR Ebony Green, and sitting in my "pen cup" after a short test write...

 

Love the feel of real celluloid, and the color's very nice, too... :clap1:

Does not always write loving messages.

Does not always foot up columns correctly.

Does not always sign big checks.

Blue Esterbrook J, with a gorgeous Pendleton Point. Have I found my perfect pen?

The voice of this guitar of mine, at the awakening of the morning, wants to sing its joy;

I sing to your volcanoes, to your meadows and flowers, that are like mementos of the greatest of my loves;

If I am to die away from you, may they say I am sleeping, and bring me back home.

Got Pilot 78G Teal M point.

 

Nice, light pen for an everyday writer. Looks smart in teal!

Hey, I've worked out how to set up an avatar! Next week I'll move onto tying my own shoelaces...

Pelikan M215 :puddle:

Like! Pelikans with chrome decoration look very smart and contemporary.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I just bought my first two Hero pens--a light blue 360 and a black older model 329. I have almost pulled the trigger on Hero pens probably a thousand times, but something always kept me from the purchases. At $5 a pop from I Sell Pens I couldn't say no!

 

This week I also finally purchased my very first bottle of ink--Private Reserve in Ebony Purple, which is just gorgeous. Probably going back for Naples Blue very soon!

I'm waiting for a brand new Pelikan M400 Tortoise with a broad nib from Binder. I cannot say how excited I am waiting for my first Pelikan.

A Pilot MYU90 from PenGallery's B&M store. I was offered an irresistible price by Mr Lai :puddle:

 

That after I had just purchased a couple of beautiful, smooth-writing Pelikan Gallery pens at KS Gill's. Priced very cheaply (<US$5 each at current exchange rates) - colorful cartridge fillers with the same smooth M nibs found in the Pelikanos :thumbup:

Both the Pelikans I bought were quickly claimed by my two youngest kids right after I had pulled them out of the bag - the pink one by my daughter Amira, and the blue one by my son Afiq :headsmack:

 

Looks like I have to go to the store again and buy more :rolleyes:
