What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2018

[ENewton]

I eagerly await a Peyton Street Penworks prototype pen in plum, fitted with a cursive italic nib ground by Nivardo Sanchez.

 

I appreciate the fact that so many artisans are crafting one-of-a-kind and small-batch pens, but most of them are too flamboyant for me, and I'm happy that Peyton Street Pens is producing some that are less bright and cheerful. (They also have cheerful ones, but I am grateful for the more sober options.)

Dill, I love those Plaisir of yours! Nice score.

These two are on there way back home after a visit to mainstreetpens.

They are in the state and will arrive tomorrow.

The pens came back home, but took off again. I was home when they showed up but I was napping. When I go to town before the post office closes

and after the pens get done delivering the mail and back at the post office. I will have them back home later today...

Luckily got home just as the post was being delivered! My new MB made it from Portugal (oops. meant to post this in pens we're using today)

I am feeling somewhat guilty for my purchase, but not for the money spent (it was quite a good deal at around 60 euro for unused condition) but for the fact that the pen in the mail is an R200 Pelikan

 

so, not a fountain pen

 

ok, knowing it's a rollerball and not a ballpoint does make me feel somewhat better, but I admit this is my first rollerball.

so why?

Well I do have one of those Muji disposable rollerballs that stays in my office backpack and is intended to be a backup in case of need and in case of the dreaded moment when use of a fountain pen is "not allowed" (some type of administrative signatures, tracing paper, etc).

The Muji pen does it's job, but I happened to think more than once that perhaps I should get a nicer looking rollerball...

 

Well this R200 is nicer looking, and when closed, cannot be distinguished from a fountain pen...

I have a Kaweco pre 1956 which needs a new nib

Can anyone help me by pointing me to someone who has such nibs ?

 

Many thanks !

I've got a gray Esterbrook J 2668 coming from ebay and this Kaweco Gray in a medium nib coming from GouletPens as well...

 

Turning the corner to Autumn so I'm thinking grays and browns and bronzes.

Broad nibbed Platinum President in burgundy.

[RoyalBlueNotebooks]

Very much used Lamy Nexx with a cute pink cap. I don't mind the state of the nib, I have a spare here if it's really unusable.
