A Mabie Todd Swan snakeskin. My first Mabie Todd and from the feel of it, it might not be my last one! :wub:

Just ordered a black Jinhao 889 and red solid Jinhao 599. I keep ordering pens and haven't received any over a month and I keep visualizing the postman bringing all my package in a huge garbage bag... someday :lol:

 

I also ordered a kiddies pen for my youngest sister, which would be her second pen. She is the only one (out of my 3 sisters) who seems to be interested (a little) in following me around and trying to get my pens and carts. So I also ordered 15 multi colored carts.. hope she'll be happy :D

1. LingMo Lorelei - Green. After some careful tweaking, the one I had previously ordered

is writing very nicely.

2. Waiting for my new Pilot Lucina-Yellow to arrive from Japan.

3. Two Jinhao 992 - one for giveaway to a postal employee who has been 'patiently'

waiting.

4. Holding fast for my special order Fosfor Maharaja to ship in May

5. Retro 1951 Tornado Prism

A Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Oversize Stub and a Visconti Van Gogh Starry Night Medium. I can't wait.

If you see a very large man ineffectually hiding in the bushes, that's not me, and I'm not lying in wait to ambush your packages and drool over your pens.

Lol. I got it delivered to the post office just for that reason.

Keep your nose clean and your nib wet.

I finally ordered a White Tortoiseshell Pelikan M400 with a Fine nib - my one and only grail pen and something that pretty much cleared half of my "kinds of pens I need" list in one fell swoop.

 

(Fun fact: I've had the tab with the amazon page for this pen open for three months straight, but wasn't sure if I wanted to risk buying a pen I've never used at that price. In comes my dad, mentions how much he loves that pen and how much of a shame it is that he can't find it anywhere. I linked him the page, he bought it, I got to try it and decided that it's perfect - the M400 has nearly exactly the same dimensions as all those 1950's German piston filler I love so much, it's lightweight, and probably the prettiest pen I know of)

Now that is a rare bird.

 

I'm waiting on a Pilot 912-FA Mottishaw Custom Spencerian.

Less sexy but more flexy :D

I just won the bid for NOS Parker 51 Aeromatic with XF nib.

I am excited...but I may have overpaid ( but of course I don't know what it's worth)...I couldn't resist though... :)

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

The pen's value is only what YOU are prepared to pay for it. It's real worth is in how much you enjoy writing with it. Enjoy your win. :thumbup:

Thank you MalcolmH!

You are absolutely right. I paid what I was prepared to (maybe I will wait on getting another pen for a month or so though lol)

 

I am excited to get my first 51.

I always wanted an XF nib, so it will be fun.

 

The problem (and a good one) is that the more pens I have, the more time I will spend on writing and drawing a day...I love using every pen I have everyday and I often spend hours...

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

After much debate, I just ordered a Pilot Vanishing Point Raden Galaxy with a factory stub nib. I had to order it from a dealer that I haven't ordered from in over a decade because my two preferred dealers couldn't get me one with the nib I wanted.

I have other Vanishing Points but none with this nib and I've never owned a raden pen before.

Which one did you pick? I've been looking at the Marine Amber.

 

I bought the ombres et lumieres.

That is a very beautiful pen!

It is indeed beautiful. I've been eyeing that for some time but it was expensive. Just got a good deal at Goldspot pens, so I bought it.
