What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

[parkerwasmyfirstlove]

Miruai is a lovely dark green.

[MuddyWaters]

I'm waiting for a Lamy Al-Star and a Ranga Model 3C, two pens which I hope will have better ergonomics than my current metropolitan and Kaweco Sport. I just can't wait to get them however!

[MuddyWaters]

Well I was waiting on my first pen, Esterbrook SJ. It came in today. Now waiting on this.

Lovely dip pen! That will be really nice to have. As a second pen that will give you a lot of variability compared to your fountain pen.

With a mix of both curiosity and uncertainty I'm awaiting an Aurora 88 (modern) with an italic nib (factory). Purchased on a whim. It would have been here today but for the snow. Hopefully arrives tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

The Pelikan Spring and Autumn is on its way from a fantastic family shop in Milano, Italy...Can't wait !

[Pichak]

I am waiting for an vintage Lady Sheaffer with 5-30 nib.

[ItsMeDave]

I'm waiting for a Vibrant Blue Pelikan M805 with a stubbed M nib from Nibsmith.com and 'The Cube' from Dudek Modern Goods.

 

(Though the wait for 'The Cube' is almost over, I missed delivery yesterday, so it'll be in my hands today.)

I've got a MB 149 from the 80's that *FINALLY* made it through customs in NY (after sitting there for 2+ weeks) and should be on my doorstep next week if all goes well. Purchasing pens from half-way around the globe is always an exciting venture!!

A Pelikan M300 with M nib.

[HDRoot]

MB 342G with what I hope turns out to be a slick and sloppy OBB nib.

 

Also brown striped Pel 450 mechanical pencil. Snagged it cheap, hope the pattern comes close to my Pel 400 FP.

MB 342G with what I hope turns out to be a slick and sloppy OBB nib.

 

Nice! I have a 342D with the blue cap top. Love it

[siamackz]

Custom pens from:

A. Krishna pens

B. Fosfor pens

Both threaded to fit Pelikan M200 nibs custom ground by Dan Smith into oblique and .5 cursive italic

[mallymal1]

Onoto Magna

 

Vintage?

[mallymal1]

Modern black Conway Stewart 58. with a CS broad nib.

[praxim]

 

Vintage?

 

Yes.

 

Model number is 1876, if I read the images correctly. I will confirm that (or not) when I get it.

 

Editing to add: I tossed up between this and a vintage Waterman Patrician. I have semi-modern Patricians and no modern Onoto so I went with Onoto for the vintage case. I rather wanted one anyway.

Pilot Custom 823 - should arrive early in the coming week!

 

Not pens, but I also have a few Aston slips and a 10 pen case on the way, hoping they'll show up next week too, along with 4 x Iroshizuku.

[Arkanabar]

Pilot Parallel 1.5mm. So very prosaic ... maybe it'll be enough to convince me to practice calligraphy.

[ILM]

I'm waiting for a sailor ebony wood desk pen with a concord nib.

[jar]

I decided to give the Pilot Custom 845 (why is it not a Custom Heritage? ) a second try even though the first attempt was a disappointment. It should get here sometime next week.

[CrispyBacon_87]

I just ordered a custom Edison Menlo pump filler. It should be here in about 10 weeks!

 

And that's also my last fountain pen related purchase for the year lol.
