What Pens Are You Using Today 2018

[Inky_paws]

I'm using a Dasi Superflex at work.

Dasi are an Australian brand and stopped making pens in 1976... yet I bought mine from a local pen shop in 2003. An email from the son of the bloke who started Dasi suggests it might have been NOS. Nice pen though.

 

 

 

Nice! Never heard of it! Show us! (Too demanding...? )

 

Here she is, and she was working again today. Very nice pen. Steel nib, gold plated. Good feel in the hand. Currently charged with Parker Quink black which is working very well.

A Waterman 54 with two gold bands. This pen was badly faded (I forgot to take a before photo). I used Mark Hoovers de-oxidizing formula to bring back the color (the chasing was already almost completely worn away). Beautiful flex nib.

Something a little different today. Red ice Jinhao X450 with a Bock titanium nib in fine.

1. Parker 61 (red), M nib -- still with whatever (now diluted but still legible) black ink was in the pen when I got it in November. Man, those 61s keep going and going!

2. Parker Vacumatic Debutante (?) Speedline filler (Azure Blue Pearl), M(?) nib -- vintage Quink Microfilm Black.

3. Parker Vector (yellow? goldenrod? Aztec gold?), F nib -- Platinum Classic Lavender Black IG

 

Also ran a line to get the husband's Vanishing Point started, now that I've swapped the nib (Black, gold color trim, 18 K (Rhodium plated?) EF nib -- Pilot Black (cartridge); I'll admit that it looks a bit weird seeing the silver color nib coming out of that pen when everything else hardware-wise is gold colored, but that's the nib I got on the Grey Decimo -- which will be sporting the 14K (gold) F nib from the Vanishing Point in future.... Got the nib assembly flushed out (i.e., the one from the VP) today, in anticipation of getting to use it -- FINALLY! Hopefully, tomorrow....

This little Paramount pen has come out of retirement briefly. It's quite obvious that some previous owner had bent the nib badly and bent it back (or had it done), which is a bit ugly, but it actually writes quite well. Too short to use unposted, of course.

Pilot VP, medium nib.

The Montblanc Noblesse on the left is going around in my shirt pocket. The two vintage pens are just being used at home. Paramount miniature pen in the middle, Waterman's 12 PSF on the right. All have some sort of blue-black ink.

 

The picture of the girl is on the back of a sheet of blotting paper. Richard Binder used to include these replicas of classic pen advertisements with his orders, and I have a number of them.

Just picked up my Bexley 25th Anniversary pen in Black #29(my birthday( with F nib. Got it from Dromgoole's while I was visiting with David Oscarson! What a day!

[sub_bluesy]

Busy day today. Got out the Omas Paragon Ludovico Einaudi, Omas Paragon titanium DLC bronze, Jon David Jones Abalone, and the worlds most finicky pen the Visconti Pininfarina Carbon Graphite.
