Waterman Executive from c.1990 inked with Platinum Pigmented Blue.  The pen that got into this hobby.

 

I like your pen holder better than the crab version.

Today’s pen of the day is a Kaweco Ice Sport in red with a 1.1mm stub nib filled with Diamine Blue Edition Ho Ho Ho.

That's such a brilliant composition! 👍

 

Kaweco should steal it for their holidays promotion 🎄

@lamarax oh, thank you so very much. I’m trying to post a few photos with holiday touches. I had a candy cane in one. When I was putting a grocery pickup order, I searched for holiday candy. When I saw the Lifesaver Storybook, I couldn’t resist the childhood nostalgia. All six rolls are the same Five Fruits. But it’s more for fun than anything else.

I absolutely must know whence came the kitty pen holder.

 

Please and thank you.

 

I found it at a site called 'Kollector's Nest': https://kollectorsnest.com/products/cat-on-a-pillow-pen-holder?variant=41641945432213

I haven't been able to find them in stock anywhere else, but I think they're super cute!

So far today has been an all Kaweco day - a Perkeo All Black with a posting nib filled with a cartridge of Kaweco Caramel and a grey Sport Skyline EF with Smokey Grey (which really is too pale for the nib  or the nib is too dry for the ink... needs an ink which is darker or wetter or something).

 

Later on I will be using a Wing Sung 3003 with a Pilot CM nib and Diamine Prussian Blue. That should write it empty.

Just a Pilot Lucina with steel F nib that has been stayed inked for months on the same fill of TACCIA Sunao-iro Aoguro ink (so, yes, its cap seal effectiveness surpasses the 78G, Kakuno, MR, etc.):

I noticed that too, and was so impressed I searched for other colours... unobtainable it seems.

Lamy Vista, 1.1 nib, Oxblood ink, addressing Christmas cards.

And a Uni-ball for FP opposed envelopes.

Pilot Blue Carbonesque Vanishing point w/18k M nib, filled with Private Reserve Tropical Blue.

I picked up a cat pen-holder at some table at a pen show a couple of years ago (might have been the place that sells the enamel pen pins), but the ones in your link are actually cuter because they're not as "cartoon-y" looking as mine.  And they also seem to be a bit larger and more substantial looking as well.

Le Special 8 de Bayard

Vintage eye dropper, NOS, gold nib and perfect seals.

Nib is very smooth.

This livery in pens has always fascinated me.

Lovely! ♥

 

I've never heard of Bayard before. That nib strongly resembles OMASs' from around the same period.

[MarcoA63]

The Bayard is a French brand active from the 20s. This model is from around the 30s. I haven't made connections to Omas on the nib as I don't believe Omas ever made safety fillers 🤔

Today it's been the black "mystery" 51 Vac that I don't remember getting -- or where, or what I paid for it to begin with  -- and got repaired last month at OPS; still with Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue.

Today’s pen is a Kaweco Collection Smooth Sage with BB nib, filled with Pelikan Edelstein Aventurine.
