Visconti opera in solid black. This is my second Visconti, the first being a Van Gogh Maxi. All I can say is wow, their nibs surprise me how smooth they are out of the box. It came with a Visconti 97 Traveling Ink Pot which I'm a little hesitant to use as I'm not confident how leak proof it is, but I love the pen

Hi,

 

A nice NOS Cross Solo in Red with black trim, the nibs on these (by Pilot I believe) are very good writers.

I didn't get a pen today, but my 7-year-old boy did. He saw me writing with my Pelikan M200 and insisted on getting his own pen. I got him a Pelikano Jr (blue), which came with a blue cartridge. If he uses it a lot, I'll get him a converter so he can try "grown-up" inks.

Metalic green Lamy AL-Star. Filled it with Waterman Florida Blue ink. Ordered a Shimmering Green Waterman Hemisphere - will fill it with MB Racing Green.

Bought a Kaweco Sport Aluminum as an impulse purchase from "isellpens" for cheep.

 

For some reason I love pens that use international cartridges and I'm a sucker for tools.....

Today was my best pen day ever -- both of my Visconti's came in: black & silver Taj Mahal and Camelot. Happy-happy joy-joy!

I received it yesterday--a Nakaya Spiketails with an XF nib. I am going to send it to John Mottishaw on Monday for a nib change as the XF is much too fine for my purposes.

That's kind of the reason I got mine.

[Jimmy James]

I got a Bookworm 675 (the yellow and black with overlay model). This leaves me with no pens expected any time soon.

A Wearever ballpoint and fountain pen set. Blue<3

 

Hehe. With the original cartridge. (The imprint is in white but still readable...sort of.)

So, since yesterday my house was visited by a brand new kid (Alice, first time at home) and a Parker 51 Cocoa (used, but excellent conditions).

Oooh, an original Wearever fountain pen cartridge is probably worth what you paid for the set!

I received an antique Dyna-Flo by the Universal Pen Co, NY, NY with a glass cartridge. After soaking and cleaning the nib by filling the cartridge (with a medical syringe) with water and wrapping the nib in a tissue to quickly "wick" the water, I found that it's gold (plated ?) nib writes amazing well and very smooth. The glass cartridge's capacity exceeds the large plastic cartridges. The glass cartridge (gently) twists into it the receiver behind the feed. I'm glad that I cleaned it in a white pan because I might have lost the little brass washer that floated out. Not bad for $14 on Ebay.

i got a parker 51, a parker 21, an esterbrook j, and a waterman ideal that will be my first repair project.
