What Pen Did You Get Today?

[Songwind]

I got a Pelikan M600 with a .7mm cursive italic nib from Richard Binder. It's a dream to write with.

 

I also got a Binderized fine nib for my M200, some blotter papers, and a stack of his writing pads. All very nice.

3x Hero 331 while I was in Chinatown. $3 each

Yesterday I got 2 pens:

 

vintage Pelikan 400 tortoise with OBB nib. Wonderful nib and beautiful tortoise Stresemann! Was described as having stains in the grip section (came off while soaking) and at the cap (don't mind) and was a real bargain: 22 Euros + shipping.

 

pre 97 Pelikan 400 with a wonderful springy medium nib. Must be one of the first M 400 because the nib is not screwed in, it's friction fit! Last week I have read about them being used in the very first pre 97 M 400s and there it comes! Never saw one before except the one I have in a vintage 400. And that one gave me the creeps when I screwed it off to clean the pen. Thought I had damaged something!

I got a package from Leigh R with a Laban Ebonite Snake pen in it.

Actually, yesterday, but I received my set of Cross Metropolis pens in black and chrome. Medium nib fountain pen, rollerball, ball point, and mechanical pencil. I've just inked up the fountain pen with a couple of Cross blue-black cartridges I've had hanging around (tried to use them in my Pelikano, since it's really Pelikan 4001 ink), and I'm very pleased. The Cross medium nib seems to be a bit finer than what I would have expected, but I think it will work nicely as a pen for my Filofax.

Here is my latest purchase. It was near the top of my short list, so imagine my current euphoria.

I got a black with silver cap Parker Super 21 pen/pencil combo in the original box. The pen has never been inked. Small scratches to the clip where the pencil has knocked against it in the box.

Just got a used Visconti Pericle 2001. Inked with Diamine Sepia

I received a Pelikan M605--my first purchase off the Market forum from Dean, a fellow FP Networker. It came with a medium nib and an M215 nib customized by Richard Binder into a 0.6 mm stub nib. So far I like the medium nib the best. No disrespect to Mr. Binder--the medium just writes a little more broadly, and I like broad nibs. I need some time with the 0.6 mm nib, though, to get an accurate assessment. Overall I'm very pleased at this point. I had an M600 that I purchased in Germany in 2002, but it was lost/stolen at a conference in 2005. The 605 is my second Pelikan and I actually like it better than the 600, because the nib is much smoother.

 

My collection now consists of the M605, Visconti Van Gogh Maxi, Waterman Expert, and a Cross FP (don't know the name). Should I stop at this point?

Didn't get it today. In fact, I've been in such a state of euphoria with the pen I don't remember when I got it. Ridiculously soon after ordering it from MelPens.

 

Anyway - if you've seen me going on and on about it in PFtLotRS then you know it is an Orange Sapporo - beeeeyuuuteeful and such a nice writer.

A Pilot Petit1 in violet and a pink Ohto Tasche. They're so cute! I wuvs tiny pens The Petit1 is amazingly nice for a $5 pen. Haven't inked the Tasche yet, but dip test was more or less positive.

Today, my Classic Legend Ruby Prototype arrived. For some reason I was calmer than usual in opening the box.

And, I haven't even inked the pen yet It's perched on my little pen pillow and I'm just staring at it. I know it will write wonderfully well because I bought it from Richard Binder.

My goodness it's a beautiful pen I will fill this with Waterman Blue Black, the most reliable ink for a new pen.

I am happy. It is a good day. :clap1:

Got a Lamy Safari red with m nib. I already have a black one, but wanted the red one so I can mix the two and have my pen in my old university colors (red and black). Great service from boardroomproducts.com .... only 8 days delivery to Canada from the time I ordered and all for $26.95 shipping included.

 

 

[AndyHayes]

A Danitrio Densho raw ebonite with a fine flex nib. It's struggling to write at the moment, but I shall tame it. This one got a little special attention from customs, but it wasn't too painful.

 

This is the second Densho in my pen "collection".

[sexauerw]

Yesterday actually. There were two pens in the mail: a nicely restored burgundy PFM-I from Pendemonium and a mint NOS black PFM-V from Bob Novak. I already had a II and a III so I'm still looking for a IV. Maybe I can find one in Portland in July.

[EventHorizon]

Got a nice Wearever FP and Pencil from coolpenz Monday :clap1:

I'll throw a new sac in it, clean it up and away we go.

[jonro]

A very nice Wearever Pacemaker in working condition arrived in today's mail.
