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

 

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

 

Of course it is. :D

I've currently got 3 Sailor Pro Gear Slims on their way to me from Japan, 2 using the White Rabbit Express shipping service; the PG Kingdom Note Kintoki Carrot and Kobe Nagasawa PG in Tarumi Apricot, and the same pen again via ebay in Gakuen Toki Fresh Green.

Another black M150, this one an M nib.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Still waiting on the Burgundy 22 EF, which is in LA at the moment. In the meantime, I also bought a 344G with an OM nib that's on its way from Deutschland.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Bad bad mail day today: Canada post managed to mis-deliver my USPS package from nibs.com! My (community) mailbox is empty but Canadapost.com says the package is in my mailbox. I'm so upset! :angry: :wallbash: You would assume $55 shipping to carry a few more options besides tracking, no? I'm still waiting for an email from nibs.com, who I asked to open a case with USPS. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

3x Jinhao X750s. I sold one to a coworker because he liked it so much, so I'm eagerly awaiting new blue black (marble), red magma, and frosted black pens.

 

Also, my wife told me she likes mechanical pencils, so I have a Pilot MR Matte White with White Tiger pencil on the way as well.

Hooray for nice tax returns!

 

Mine isn't due for another week or two, but I went ahead and ordered a Sailor 1911S with a 21K EF nib. I'm a student, so I need a nib size that writes on any kind of paper. That one should do it. Now for it to get from Japan to here.

 

Still waiting on my Jinhao x750 in Blue from China.

Hope you get it sorted out.

@ILM Sorry to hear that. Not to be depressing, but I hope your subsequent experience is better than ours in like circumstances (machine parts, not pens).

 

Meanwhile, I am notified that the Onoto Magna mentioned earlier is now waiting at my local PO.

Then the Parker 51 with the broad oblique (that's out the door the day it comes in).

As of now:

 

a pack of 10x Hero 616 pens

one Jinhao 911 (if the Chinese seller was genuine)

and just one minute ago, I won an auction on one Parker Vector (eww) and one Creek N Creek (rather scarce) French fountain pen.

 

I will probably have the last one first. The first two, maybe next month or so.

Actually, for me at this moment, I'm waiting for a pen tray from gopens. Expanding my pen storage from a wooden cigar box to a front-opening shadow box, 11" x 14" or so.

It's a Sheaffer Legacy "Fantasy" - the body was created (so I am told) by Jim Rouse of Franklin Christoph. There were a few threads around here enthusing about a similar model with a orange body... but I like to go my own way with these things and preferred the infinitely more subtle shades of this blue swirl material. I also believe that this may be the last one in this material, for I have not seen any others, although there are a few in different materials still available from Speerbob on the Bay of Fleas.

oh sh**! Add to that two parker pens. (edit: just found out they are Frontier and Profile)

 

how do i receive things by post without the wife knowing?

 

let alone that for some reason i am not a parker fan. maybe because ive only seen boring models in real life?
