Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using *show* Us!, 2018 + 2019 + 2020

Awww. I had an Air Canada branded version of that pen in white. I used to love it. Its nib and its width were perfect for my day to day scribbling.

 

The pen unfortunately broke and I kept the nib as a keepsake in the hope it'll fit something else. Of all the broken bits of pen and all the sections laying in my tin of shame, the nib never has

 

Thank you for sharing this. As we know even the cheapest pens can bring us a great deal of pleasure.

 

Loved reading this, Tas. I have a few pens from so, so many years ago. It's a unique kind of pleasure to pull them into the rotation every now and then. The tactile experience of writing with them is like a sense memory. ...in fact, I suppose is quite literally a sense memory. A pen fetishist's version of Proust's madeleine.

 

Of all the pens I have lost/trashed over the years, I'm most nostalgic for the Sheaffer school pens I used throughout high school. They were nothing special, but they got me addicted to fountain pens, and their nibs were great reverse writers -- whether intentionally or not I don't know.

 

I've never seen another Sizzlestix in the wild. I do have another A&W pen, though -- posted a photo of it on this thread not all that long ago. Hope you find a barrel your nib/section will fit!

Hello everyone,

 

Parker Premier Athens for today.

 

 

Great contribution! I'm intrigued by the ink -- I'm unfamiliar with both the bottle and the shade. What is it?

Thank you Houton

Parker Penman Ebony (Black)

Picked up this Nettuno Petra Lines a little while back and have no regrets. It writes great, the fit and finish are excellent and the feel is reminiscent of early Delta pens.

What a perfect combination. The artwork is lovely and, of course, completely appropriate.

Hello everyone,

 

I just finished restoring my Sheaffer Snorkel Valiant in Periwinkle color, it functions perfectly now and the nib is unbelievable, the only thing preventing it from becoming my EDC pen is its rare color, its filled with Waterman Serenity Blue (aka Florida Blue)
