Very nice set, @irrigger, thanks for sharing. How do they write? 😄

Here is a quick sample with what they are currently inked with.

I love that color!

 

It's a lovely color, not dissimilar to your Maroon Realo, Perhaps a little brighter.

 

How do you like the Realo as an EDC? 

 

I totally agree on the MB 344, these 50/60's MB's are great pens.

These are what I think of when I think "Vintage pen". They're very Great Gatsby, in a good way.

So far today it's been the Senator (from a Google dive I think it's a "Windsor"), M nib (although seems to write more like an F) with Pelikan 4001 Violet.

Not bad for a pen I paid a buck for at an estate sale, AND is a piston filler to boot!

I spent the day with my new Parker Lucky Curve Duofold Senior, and enjoyed every minute of it.

I have a Senator Professional, a piston-filler with a supple 14ct gold nib, which cost me all of £5 on eBay. It's never going to make heads turn but it's a very good writer. They make some cracking pens.

Pen cleaning and re-inking day, so I used them all:

'Just a quick update to let everyone know that I have broken my own rule about how many pens to have inked at a given time.  What pen(s) am I using today (and for the next week or so until I can justify dumping what's left of the ink)?

1945 Parker "51" Vacumatic (Black, Lustraloy GF clip) - Hero 232

1951 Parker "51" (Cocoa with gold filled cap) Aerometric - Hero 232

1955ish Parker "51" (Burgandy) - Super Quink Blue Black

Late 1920s Sheafer Lifetime Flat Top (Black Celluloid) - KWZ IG Blue #1

1935 Parker Parkette (Maroon Celluloid, flexible 14k nib) - 1940s Quink Blue Black

2005 Hero 616 (I know, I know.  Why?) - Quink Permanent Black

 

Help,

I've been really impressed by the Senator Windsor so far.  Although I was a little surprised that (while in theory a European medium nib) it writes more like a Japanese fine.  But that just means I'll get even more out of a fill .  

Can't knock a piston filler for a dollar which is the price I paid at an estate sale company's warehouse sale a couple of weeks ago, digging through a box bottom of mostly BPs.  Of course mine doesn't have a gold nib like yours, just what looks like a gold plated one.

Diversity would be my guess.

My guess was gonna be; “because it’s a perfectly serviceable clone of a “51” that can be taken out of the home without worrying about loss or damage”
