What Pen Did You Get Today?

[GSteer]

Two showed up today, an amusing tale from two sides of the world

 

One Lamy AL-Star in Ocean Blue from the UK with a medium nib (think I've got another 1.1mm stub tucked away here somewhere for it)

 

And from Malaysia...another Lamy AL-Star but this time the 2010 Coffee Ltd Edition with a fine nib (luckily)

 

My Dark AL-Star collection grows, muhahah.

A smoke TWSBI 540 in Medium.

I got a Lamy 99 37 yesterday, but I couldn't find this thread until today.

 

It has a OB nib, and the piston is a bit stiff. It looked clean from the outside and as a result in my haste I grabbed my bottle of Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel and filled the pen immediately. The ink writes so dark that I'm almost certain there was dried black ink in the pen. I hope it doesn't react and create a problem in the bottle and/or pen. The flow is not ideal, but that could very well be a function of the less than ideal ink inside it at the moment.

Today, I received through the post a Parker Frontier Flighter, to complement a box set containing a Parker Insignia ballpoint and mechanical pencil that I have already.

I bought a Creeks N Creeks Stypen that showed up today, just to see what it's like!

The nib lays down a consistent, wet line.

I just ordered my free (+ $2.50 S&H) piston filler from fountainpenrevolution.com.

Today I got a TWSBI ROC 100 broad nib with a bonus Montesa multipen that has mechanical pencil, black, and red ballpoint tips in it. The Montesa is really nice (the TWSBI is exactly what I expected which is a good thing).

Two today: a NOS Sheaffer Imperial 330 and a Visconti Rembrandt in Ivory. Yum.

I got a Noodles Ahab along with a bottle of Black Swan in Australian Roses. Very nice combination.

Today, at last, my TWSBI 540 Smoke with a Medium nib. Currently inked up with Diamine Majestic Blue

Ummm...

 

- MB Agatha Christie (vermeil snake with ruby eyes!) - to be inked this morning

- MB Wilde FP/BP/MP set

- MB Andrew Carnagie

- [edited to add the MB Bernstein that's actually for my dad]

 

(not mentioning the MB Imperial Dragon set, Semiramis, Louis XIV, Prince Regent, or Medici that I'm not really wanting to talk about since I'm not going to keep them...)

 

Oops...

Today, I got a Noodler's Ahab in black. I got it just slightly over 24 hours after it was ordered. The Goulets rock!

[stickney]

Yesterday I got my Nakaya Aka Tamenuri Dorsal. This pen is so much better to write with than any of my other pens that it will be a long time before I use a different one, a loooong time.

My long-awaited Pelikan M800, green striped, F, and a NOS Sheaffer 330 Imperial, black, XF, both arrived today, along with a bottle of BSB!

[yoitzo]

My first Esterbrook. I was trying to figure out what pen to use for my final tonight and in my mailbox was the red Esterbrook! The nib feels a bit too scratchy but I'm going to try out the brown paper bag trick.

YOL Viceroy Grand Victorian with M nib.

[CountryDoc]

Just got four Pilot 78Gs (one in each color) and a couple Cross Solos while I still can. Just ordered a MB Starwalker and some PR cartridges to go with it :clap1:

[miwishi63]

I finally talked myself into a Lamy Vista Demonstrator, which arrived today along with a bottle of Noodler's Polar Blue and a free eyedropper pen. It's a glorious day!
