What a lovely set of blues, @Helen350! What is the white (or cream) with a ribbon of blue in the second picture?

That is a Nussbaum Jon Ross pen.   Nussbaum is no longer in business.  I own

4 of their pens. This one is a very smooth writer!!

Wasn't that connected to isellpens?  I really miss them!  Bought a ton of Chinese pens there, and anything unusual, too.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

 Could have been--can't quite remember.  I have had this pen for 6-7 yrs.

  Wow, the ROtring is mighty, indeed!  I love the variety of shades of blue.

Thanks!  That ROtring... loved, hated, feared, but in the end, a decent writer.  😎

Yeah, I bought some $5 US Guanleming pens from there when I first got started.  The demonstrator's clip got caught on an elastic band in a pen case and snapped the finial off. But the other two were good little pens, and the one with the fude nib is the only pen I feel comfortable putting the original version of J Herbin Rouge Hematite (with the big flakes of gold) into.

I was sad when the business closed up.

So are they knocking off the TWSBI Eco now?

  The Mediterranean Blue celluloid is breathtaking!  I looked it up and I like both the actual color and  the shade they appear to be in your photo. I’m also a sucker for any blue marbled material, especially that OMAS- 😻😻😻
