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

A pen that tricked me into thinking it was a TWSBI. I’m waiting on a Nebula Eco in gray. It looks a lot like a TWSBI, and is called an Eco.

Something 😎 but secret until I get confirmation it’s been shipped! Will update when I know it’s coming…

A vintage Sheaffer Imperial 790.  It's coming from the Middle East, so I think it may be a while before it shows up.

Which begs a question.  I know where the Far East and Middle East are, but where is the Near East?

That would have been a better response, but I'm not that clever.  My first thought was Margate, but that made even less sense. 🤣

Not if you live in Birmingham or Manchester.

[ParramattaPaul]

Or Yorkshire.   😉😄🤣

For those of us in California, the Near East is Arizona. 😁

It's a gift for a friend who believes in magic.

I'm waiting on a Pilot Vanishing Point Carbonesque in black.  I have the blue though my ex currently has it.  This time I got as a stub to try something different.  I am looking forward to some line variation.

Still waiting...

A Pilot pocket pen in light-teal with an 18k Script nib.

 

Yes, I did say I'd completed my little collection of Pocket pens with the Posting nib that arrived a few days ago...

 

The thing is... I had a burgundy with a Script nib then gave it away - not because I didn't like it, but there's a young lady come into my family who's been using fountain pens all through her schooling. Steel nibbed school pens. And a left hander. Looking through my collection I thought the Burgundy with the Script nib might be just the thing so off it went (along with Take-sumi and Yama-budo to go in it).

 

Anyone here would have done the same. Including the bit about jumping on an auction for a replacement...

Pelikan M1005 Stresemann with a medium nib, bought brand new at a relatively palatable price

What a great idea to welcome her into your family! A light teal replacement is just the thing, too!

I’m waiting on a Levenger Truewriter Pinkly. The Jinhao 82 pens I’m waiting on are tracking to be delivered this week.

Oh congratulations on getting that pen ordered. I think they look quite stately.
