What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2016

[jmccarty3]

Just ordered a mint MB Hemingway with a fine nib. I have no self-discipline at all.

[HoosierGeek]

I just ordered a TWSBI Vac Mini, fine nib, and the accompanying inkwell.

 

That's TWSBI #4 for me. My first vacuum filler, too. I'm very excited!

A Parker 45 Flighter.

A once inked Conway Stewart Marlborough LE "Vintage" blue ripple ebonite lever filler w/an italic m nib. I've wanted a CS pen for a number of years, but the versions I've wanted have always been beyond my grasp. This pen fit the bill and the price was reasonable. It will ship tomorrow!

Any chance of some pictures when you receive it?

 

Just arrived.

Edison Pearlette 1.1 stub

 

 

I love the material on this pen, although I haven't had the opportunity to see one in person, the pictures are very promising. Which color did you get?

I'm still waiting (the item was out of stock, and restocking an Edison takes time, it appears). Ordered the pen in Aztec Flake. I'll take and upload some photos when I finally get it.

I'm waiting on a large Sheaffer Valiant vac fill in carmine celluloid, with a fine nib:

This one arrived yesterday and is in beautiful condition. I inked it with Sheaffer blue-black, but it seems rather dry--writes like a Japanese fine. I'm going to try some wetter inks, maybe Waterman Mysterious Blue or DeA Hyacinth.

Mine is a pretty dry writer too, I use it with Diamine inks - the wetter the better.

From the previous batch... Got this one today, absolutely mint, also, a curious detail, it had the Christian Olsen anchor stamp on it so it is one of the pens they imported for sale in Denmark. Neat

 

 

- And the last one, an absolutely mint lustraloy cap black 51 with the box for 63€ or so (S&H included), it still has the markings on the barrel:

Hi Nikaa...it isn't a Nakaya. It's a 18111com pen made by Yoshi Nakama, who is based in Brooklyn, NY.

 

He calls this model Falling Sakura Blossoms in Night Sky, and you can read about it here.

 

It's beautiful.

 

I'm currently two months into waiting for a Nakaya though, a Kuro-tamenuri Cigar.

Thank you MalcolmH. It is first time I hear about 18111com pen made by Yoshi Nakama, but I have to catch up!

It is sooo beautiful.... I could fall in love with this pen

but it costs too much for me, at least for now.

 

 

I have to switch to saving mode, but to many temptations again and again new purchases

A Faber-Castell Loom in blue metallic with a fine nib. I am very eager to try this one out, considering what I have read about their nibs !
