What pen(s) are you waiting for in the mail?

[Pete of Killeen]

OMG---Atlas ships really fast---just ordered maybe 2 hours ago and is due Friday.

 

I could not pass an additional 10% off a Pelikan already on sale---that red and white one--I call it Christmasy---got some LEnnon Forest Green ink as well.

I ordered broad so I can try it out.  Some of my medium nib pens I call a fine---thinking of you Sailor and to a lesser extent, Platinum.

 

Then there was the doorbuster price on that sweet chrome trimmed Aurora in blue marble (med nib).  Just got a blue ink for it from Monteverde.

 

So pens 8 and 9 soon here--I am going way too fast..LOL..help?  haha

 

But I still need an Omas, an Ottohut, a Waterman and a Visconti...and then some sort of wood made pen from one of the botique makers.

And that would still mean space for another 9...

 

I guess one could say I'm a few short of halfway...   btu somehow I think the number that makes 100% for me will over time GROOOOWWWW.

Just remember that Japanese nibs run finer than European (ie Pelikan (.

Waiting on a Lamy Safari <EF> in Charcoal, which should arrive on Saturday.

The Atlas order arrived to my downtown office today where a secretary signed for it.  I will go in tomorrow and ink them.

I just ordered a Pilot 91 M in Tsuki-yo blue. I owned one in 2017 in FM, and I just got a 91 in FM in the dark blue with black, but sometimes it's nice to have the M nib. I have the dark blue with Kon-Peki and I'll keep the Tsuki-yo with Ama-iro in it. Or I might buy some Tsuki-yo and see how good a match it is

Forest Green P-51 aerometric.

Today I ordered an Aurora 88 Large Black with Gold trim 14k F nib. Chatterley had one on consignment with box and papers for a good price. It will go nice with my Optima <M> and Talentum <B>. I would rather have one with the chrome trim but it's the way things go. I don't feel like paying for a new one right now.

A Violet Platinum Preppy Fine nib for my 11-year-old daughter. I've given up on her giving back my Blue Platinum Preppy and has already hinted of asking me to refill it with a different color once she runs it dry. I don't know why the Pilot Kakuno just didn't grab her fancy, but then as someone once said in a pen review: "The pens that we like, we like. It's hard to explain why." 

[inkstainedruth]

Oh, are those the ones that have the faces engraved on the nibs?  Maybe she thought that they were just too "kiddie" for her?  (Says the adult who -- when seeing the Parker Vector "Puss in Boots" pen from the Shrek movies for sale on eBay a few years ago -- said, "OMG!  WANT!  MUST HAAAAAAAVE!" )

Yes the Pilot Kakuno has the faces on them. I think she just used it for a week to learn which way the nib should face.

[LandyVlad]

Well I just bought a Jinhao X159 in black/gold with a Medium nib.

 

because it was less than $9, and it's the same as a Montblanc 149 right? Right?  ROFL.

 

Nah just for fun to try the size.
