What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2016

[jmccarty3]

I will take this opportunity to express my interest in a Pelikan M450 Green Tortoise as well.

This board managed to get me really interested in Chinese pens. There's so much fascinating stuff there... also, I sure wouldn't mind an excuse to mess about with adjusting nibs, hehe.

 

I still have a humble little Jinhao x450 on the way. Pretty hyped for that, especially because my Jinhao 159 arrived today and it's glorious.

A TWSBI Vac 700 waits for me on my porch. I'm eager to see if the filling mechanism makes more sense in person.

And forgot to mention that I like the stories "short"

After a almost a year of using a Kaweco Liliput as my weekend pocket pen, I have decided it is too slim for my hand. As a result, I just ordered a Kaweco Sport Cognac demonstrator with an EF nib.

I couldn't resist the color when I stumbled upon it. It seems it's a Seitz-Kreuznach exclusive color.

Waiting for two pens to arrive:

1) A black Parker 51 aerometric w/ Extra Fine nib - from Rick Krantz, and

2) This green Parker 25 Ballpoint in original Parker 25 case:

Yay, my Platinum Shunju just shipped! Now to see how fast EMS is from Japan to the US. I also ordered a small bottle of Iroshizuku Kosumosu...hoping to find a pink ink which I like.

[dasXFnib]

FWIW.....EMS shipping to NH is generally 5-7 days.....this HAS included weekends in the past!!!

Beautiful pen Lovely_Pen!! Enjoy!!

 

Always try to get the dibs....on fountain opens with EF nibs!!

Managed to score a Vanishing Point really super cheap ($68 with shipping), seller says it was inked but never used. Works for me.

 

I'm really excited because it will be my first 18K nib.

 

Would have preferred the raden water VP but oh well, I'll take what I can get

So, yeah....I can see how this pen-thing can be a slippery slope....

 

After having bought, and still waiting on, this one;

I felt naturally compelled to 'complete' the set and just bought this one;

Ugh....

Just won a black post WWII Pelikan 100N, crystal clear ink window and what seems to be a 14k M nib for a really good price at a swedish auction site.

 

Didn't feel that sweet after I realized that I have to pay 32 euros just as transaction and processing fees... yikes. Oh well, the total is still way below the market price for a 65+ year old pen that looks great going by the pictures (aside from the micro scratches illuminated by the camera flash). No brassing on the trims nor the clip.

 

Going to be a long while until it arrives, my estimate being closer to ten days... how I do hate waiting.

Gotta love Tradera

Gotta love Tradera

 

Ha! Yes, indeed!

Waiting on a Parker Classic at the moment: a fine nib with a black body, so not one of the fancier looking models, but still a very nice pen if it's in the excellent condition the photos suggested.

[ppdiaporama]

I ordered a TWSBI Vac 700 this weekend ... I just got the shipping notification a few moments ago. Fingers crossed that it gets here tomorrow afternoon!

 

It, along with the Lamy 2000 and Pilot VP is a pen that I want but always end with something else. Here's hoping I stop procrastinating on the other two as well.

 

Edit, oh and I won a 4$ a red Sheaffer NoNononsense pen yesterday!

Nice work. The No Nonsense seems to have become collectible at some point, so $4 is a very good price.

[DrDebG]

I nabbed a Lamy 2000 from the drop, and am eagerly awaiting the first part of May when it will be delivered!
