Being a 'noobie' and gold nib snob, didn't buy a cheap steel nibbed Pelikan 200 in yellow when I bought my 605 on sale at Galleria Kaufhaus :headsmack: .....and yellow is rare as I found out. I still don't have one.

 

Having a 90-96 Tortoise 400 didn't think I needed a 'cheap' 200.

 

I have come to admire the 200, especially in the last two or three years, it has a nib that is = to the semi-vintage no ring M400.

That is a lot of yellow pens.

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

Though I'm partial to yellow, I wouldn't buy that lot because I'm not into vintage, but they are a nice shade of yellow.

What I'd love is a Pelikan M800 in a translucent yellow similar to the vibrant blue model. Pelikan, please, take my $$$.

Don't have a yellow. Maybe someday.

Seems FB has already bought that yellow costumed troupe.

OK I admit it. I own them or at least most of them. But did I over pay?

I like yellow pens, although I only have one, a humble Prera. But I'd say I would have to have a huge pen collection to want to add that many in one color. Would love a yellow Pro Gear, though.

I'd buy them if I could afford them, but I seriously doubt that I could afford them.

 

I have a yellow Jinhao 159 in yellow :yikes: .

Hello FB,

 

I don't know; you haven't disclosed what you paid that I can see... unless I'm missing something. :huh:

 

However, whether you overpaid or not is a relative question... if you bought them to restore and re-sell, than you might have... if you bought them because they bring joy to your heart, then you didn't.

You do have a valid point, I have not disclosed the selling price. Perhaps we should delve into the pile and see why someone would even give them second glance. What Plantains lurk among the common Bananas?

Aahhh... I see where you're going with this now. ;)

 

Unfortunately, my knowledge of vintage pens is not sufficient enough to tell the difference between a plantain and a banana. :D

 

But I'll be interested in seeing how this plays out.

I think I recognize a Duofold in there. That is a beautiful collection around a theme. I once thought about collecting yellow pens, but, beyond Kullock there were few offerings I could find. I also rolled a chair over a Kullock 51 yellow pen's cap.

I am a "nib" gal... doesn't matter how pretty is the pen.. I am interested on the nibs. I do like yellow, but they would have to have AWESOME nibs for me to consider. ;)
