What Pen Are You Waiting For 2019

[sirach]

Waiting for a Waterman Exception Night and Day... Large size with silver trim and a medium nib. I've wanted one for almost 15 years, but never found a good deal, or found other pens I wanted more... (I'm looking at you, limited edition Pelikan's and Visconti's). The right one came up for the right price...

After being sold out for over a year, a new batch of Wing Sung 626s just went up for sale and I was finally able to get one in that gorgeous deep blue flecked celluloid! So excited to finally have a pen that I had totally thought would never be available again.

A Sailor Limited Edition Profit Junior-S Stainless Steel Fountain Pen in purple. I can't wait to recieve it.

And the Purple Cosmos has now been processed through the ISC in New York as of this morning. I saw last night that Royal Mail had turned over tracking to its counterpart (i.e., USPS) so now I have signed up to get email notifications....

Getting very excited! I had figured that with the relatively low number of that color being made, I would have zero chance of ever getting one (or at least not for anything below nosebleed prices) -- so I'm hoping that I'll have it by early next week.

Just ordered a Leonardo Momento Zero...

Just received the Nakaya. I was anxious to use the soft medium, but had decided without trying it to get a PB CI. I was surprised to find the nib is very fine. Then I wrote with it. I was even more surprised to find the nib very smooth. It is relatively wet, though the line, while dark, remains quite fine. I filled it with Monteverdi Horizon Blue. I haven't written on good paper yet. This is a treat. I may not have a modification done. A beautiful pen, with a wonderful nib.

 

That nib sounds like a keeper.

MB1914 with OBB....... when are you arriving.......

 

I can't wait to whip it out to sign something....

Got a very pretty vintage Mentmore Autoflow in blue/black celluloid on the way. I've wanted to add a pretty celluloid lever- or button-filler to my collection for quite a while now, but was quietly hoping to snag a Waterman 512v in grey-blue after I missed out on one in 2017 or so. Finally admitted to myself that that pen wasn't happening anytime soon, and this one was an intriguing alternative.

A Waterman 5 with a Red nib. The seller seemed genuinely enthusiastic about its writing qualities, and I was too cheap to win the Pink nib on offer.

Probably shouldn't have, but I just ordered a Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Calligraphy set to fill up the wooden box that came with a medium I was gifted for Christmas (and some GvFC inks to go with in Deep Sea Green and Hazelnut Brown). It just looked weird to have only the one pen in a three pen box, and this way I can use two of the three calligraphy nibs together.

I was under the impression that I’ve stopped buying pens like it was the end of the world...

 

Then I’ve recollected all the pens I’m waiting right now:
- 2 TWSBI’s ECO just because of cap colors I still don’t have plus inks;
- Another Ranga;
- one Platinum 3776 with a music nib (that’s my first Platinum);

oh well. Does it have a cure?

No cure that I know of.
