Gorgeous old Soennecken!

After a long search, I finally landed a wood grain Sailor King of Pen.

I just inked up my new ASA I Can. It is an ebonite Indian eye dropper. So far, so good, writes great. Pictures and a short review will be forthcoming in the next few days.

The Pelikan 805 Ocean Swirl dispensing Robert Oster Turquoise through an F nib worked well for me yesterday. They make a pretty and very practical combination. I even received a "Nice pen" from the only person who appeared to notice.

I just went through the pens that are out, and after rewatering most of them have 34 working pens, of which (other than checking that they are still writing) I have used a black 'no name' probably manufactured by Lang's or Conway Stewart in the late 1920's/ early 1930's, two Uniques dating from the 1950's and a Miller Streamline 623 which I think may be quite recent (1980's?)

Just inked up one of my two Scheaffer's Legacy Touchdowns, brown, with a juicy medium nib. Inked with Noodler's Burgundy ink. I'll try to figure out how to post better pictures and share when I do.

Italix Parson’s Essential in Amber (with a non-branded Edison 1.1mm italic nib) filled with De Atramentis Richard Wagner, Regal Alice 177 in Turquoise M nib filled with Diamine Soft Mint, and a Lamy Safari Aquamarine with a 1.1mm italic nib filled with Iroshizuku Syo Ro.

Jinhao red ice collection today. Love this finish! The new X750 is inked with Kaweco Summer Purple. That ink has really surprised me. Its initially a very intense, electric, purple when wet on paper and then settles to a nice standard purple color. I really wish I could find a purple that kept that initial intensity but it almost looks like its backlit when wet. A big surprise that I enjoy every letter.

Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age with 1.3 stub. I'm almost out of ink in it. Good thing too because the nib needs a little work.

[inkstainedruth]

Parker Vector (yellow/goldenrod/Aztec gold/whatever), F nib -- diluted KWZI IG Gummiberry.

Noodler's Charlie -- Noodler's Blue Ghost

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

Pilot Decimo (light grey), F nib -- Iroshizuku Yama-budo

That's just so far....

Namisu Nova after a fresh scotchbrite brush and some tuning to the Bock Titanium nib to make it less of Niagra Falls in broad. I would recommend a medium Ti Bock nib max! Beyond that, youre verging on volunteer firefighter. Im pretty happy with this pen these days but its just missing something to make it perfect or extremely memorable. Not Namisus fault but my own. Cant quite put my finger on it just yet though. Maybe a high polish and an italic Ti nib grind? Thats all I got at the moment but that high polish is going to take HOURS with titanium!!
