What pen(s) are you using today?

[Misfit]

Ah ha! I have a pen already inked I can use for tomorrow that I haven’t used yet in my page a day. And looking at my notebooks where I write pens and inks, I see options!

Parker 21 Deluxe/Waterman Serenity Blue

Graf von Faber-Castell with fine nib and Noodlers Zhivago (green).

[Misfit]

Today’s pen is a Regal 82 William pen with M nib filled with Pelikan Edelstein Garnet. It was bought in honor of and in the memory of my Papa.

Listening to the always uplifting Lehar’s Merry Widow operetta today got me to dig out my MB Donation pen Johann Strauß with its “ Fledermaus” on the nib.  I expect I’ll be enjoying it along with its namesake ( Strauß’ Die Fledermaus)  in the next couple of week.  I’ve linked a thread by Tom Kellie with some lovely pics of this pen and nib, since any pics I would take couldn’t come close to Tom’s excellent work.

👀 Ordered! (the ebony in <OM>)

 

...being here on FPN is just a bad influence to my wallet.

I like your pen holder better than the crab version.  

Thanks!  It's actually a carved onyx bull I bought in Mexico many years ago.  It has served many uses such as a decorative sculpture, book end, door stop and now a fountain pen holder.

Today’s pen is a TWSBI classic in sapphire blue with 1.1mm stub nib filled with Colorverse Sea of Tranquility, which is a green ink.

Today it's been the Vulcan's Coral Noodler's FPC, flex nib, with diluted Noodler's Legal Lapis; and the purple Pilot Falcon, SF nib, still with Sailor Souboku.

Montblanc 140 1000th anniversary edition with MB royal blue to write gift tags. 

 

Adds a little extravagance.

I'm away from home and only have these four with me, today it will mostly be the Mb 221.

I'm not a big MB fan (although I have 6), but I have a 221 and it is a great pen.

A little winter holiday cleaning and uncovered a 149 and a Waterman Edson on the desk...

 

Oh yes, been awhile, a nice find!

Why how thoughtful and generous of you! 

 

In another five years i guess.

 

A decade ago a local Grand & Toy had an Edson to get rid of for $600 (or around there.) I guess they got foisted with it for a shipment, not the usual inventory.

 

Didn't have the $$$ or desire at the time, but it's one of my regrets to see it there a dozen times and not buying it.

Today I am using two pens that I haven't inked in ages:

An Eversharp with a medium fine flexible nib

A Conway Stewart 85L

 

They both have absolutely delicious nibs and I foresee these being in constant rotation in the coming months.

I wouldn't want to think of what they'd charge for that!

 

Congrats though for reaching a 1000 years; I remember them being around issuing a limited edition on the funeral of our beloved emperor Henry the Second, made of precious resin and silver. 😛

Today’s pen of the day is a Conklin Duragraph Red Nights with 1.1mm stub nib filled with J Herbin Rouge Opera.
