Today, it's the striped Duofold (1946), with 1930s blue Quink. (I think the ink has faded a touch, because it's not blue-blue, but it's definitely not blue-black.)

This is my daily driver. I've owned a few but this one has always been my favorite. Oddly enough, this is the only Vac I've owned that I didn't restore myself. Made in USA yet I bought it from a guy located in Ontario. I still wish they made these in blue back in the day...

I've been using Parker IM series pens for quite a while, they're what I have on my desk at home (and work) for daily use.

 

I've also got a red Slimfold that I think was made in the 1960 -1975 period, 14K gold nib. It was my grandmother's, fortunately she had smaller hands than me! After a while it makes my hand hurt, so I can't use it for long periods. I do enjoy writing with it though - so much smoother than the steel IMs.
