Lunch was Moo Shiu Pork, wrapped in a flour tortilla. The wine was Côtes-du-Rhône. In my pocket

is a Janesville Parker 51, loaded with Pelikan 4001 Königsblau. This is not international. It is

American.

This has been such an interesting thread. I have found now that I am really using very few pens and inks on any given day. Over the weekend it was:

 

Certo pen (Germany)

Kreuzer pen (Germany)

J. Herbin ink (France)

KWZ ink (Poland)

Tomoe River paper (Japan)

 

Today some new-to-me pens came in the mail so I have more to report:

 

Kreutzer pen (Germany)

Argument pen (Germany)

Esterbrook desk pen (USA)

Alster pen (Germany)

unbranded black piston-filler, c. 1960s (Germany, probably)

 

J. Herbin ink (France)

Diamine ink (UK)

Mixed left over ink (truly international - US, UK, German, French, Polish, Japanese, Chinese left over inks all mixed)

 

Tomoe River paper (Japan)

Staples legal pad (USA)

 

For the most part, however, I am using 2-3 pens, 2-3 inks, and one kind of paper on most days. Maybe I have too many pens and too many little bottles of ink... maybe.

Just inked up my Pilot MR (Metropolitan if you're American) with a German ink cartridge, so I'm either a bit international today, or a quisling for the Axis powers, I suppose.
