What Pen Did You Get Today?

[liapuyat]

Last night the members of our Philippine pen group attended the Sheaffer Pens launch party at an upscale Manila mall gallery. There was a display of pens from the 1930s up to the 1980s, borrowed from two local collectors. The new, current production models were introduced by a lovely tv hostess. I won a black laque Legacy Heritage with palladium-plate trim at the raffle. It writes a juicy medium line.

I received my first TWSBI 540 clear demonstrator with M nib two days ago. Excellent pen so far. And already ordered two more, one smoke with 1.1 mm stub nib and one blue with B nib!

I picked up a Stipula Amerigo Vespucci LE over the weekend at the LA Pen Show.

Gate City Postal Junior in crisp italic. It is a cute pen after using the Senior for 6 months

Went to the "Dark Side" by buying a Mont Blanc 146. Too busy to even ink it or set it up though, so I have a nice surprise (I hope) waiting at my office if I do get a spare moment tomorrow.

I would have received a Danitrio Genkai tame-nuri today but customs decided to snatch it up (who wouldn't) so it will be a few more days until I will actually hold it. Looking so forward to it...!

Went to the Arkansas Pen club meeting Saturday and came home with some real treasures!

 

Waterman X-Pen made in France and a capillary filler.

 

Watch_Art original pen (the infamous fat cap pen)https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/215873-finished-another-pen/

 

Waterman CF set with a box, Blue pen and pencil with gold caps and a med flex nib. It is NOS, chalk marked, has the price band around the pen. And best of all, 8 full CF cartridges!!! WOOT

 

But if you think those are great...

 

1949 Parker 51 Signet set in perfect condition with box and a 1.1mm Minuskin stub nib!

 

Love me some pen club meetings! Can't wait for the Pen show!!

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!

 

I've been contemplating a Vista myself! I thought it would look beautiful filled with turquoise ink.

I am sincerely hoping that today is the day on which my Lamy Safari Charcoal comes in the mail! Even if it comes tomorrow, we will just say that it came today, since I am that excited for it!

[JonSzanto]

Mailperson just arrived with my Esterbrook #427 Double Inkwell Dip-Less Desk Pen Set. Only one pen with it, but I have a spare companion dip pen, so it will be all complete! Should be fun to have, two pens with two favorite inks, right there at the ready...
