Ooo, shiiinyyyy!

 

Now I don't feel so bad about the number of pens I own.  Being far too lazy to assemble and shoot them, I have a Chartres Blue Platinum 3776, a couple or three blue Sailors, Lamys, Pelikans, Sheaffers, Parkers, Wing Sung piston fillers, NoNami pens, and Jinhao.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

@AmandaWPardon my ignorance, BUT What is this? A Pelikan?

And this looks like a TWSBI, but how come it has a plastic grip section and an aluminum piston? Some limited edition or just something I don't know about?

If your car has them, make sure to change your timing belts every 80-100,000 miles. (Or shorter if specified in the manual)

Probably one of my most favorite Blue Pens - Custom made Parker 51 in Blue Pearl...

A close runner-up in Blue Shimmer - a Bexley material...  matching jewels and ink pump rod.

Pen on the bottom looks like one of my Wing Sung piston-fillers.  Great pens for the money.

Wow, Ralph- these are simply stunning! What’s the story behind them?

Those Wing Sung piston fillers look really cool. I need to go looking for one soon.

That pen is a Pelikan M805 ‘Ocean Swirl’ - it was the LE pen for 2018.

Useful info about it can be found here.

 

I think that it is beautiful, but its lack of any kind of ink window/translucency puts me off from buying it, because I wouldn’t be able to tell how much ink I have left in the pen.
My wallet breathes a sigh of relief 😉

Yes, a Pelikan M205 Petrol Marble.

 

And a Wing Sung 3008

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Is that a planet on it?

 

Yes - the red planet is Jupiter.  There are also smaller various colored orbs around the body of the pen - I assume to represent other planets or moons or whatever.

Good guess. Another clue: my pen budget doesn't stretch any further than M200s...

Um, what is Clear Candy?  The Snoopy pen (I have three) is a fountain pen. I think it is M&G Stationery, from several years ago. 
 

I got out the packaging. That should help us. I got them in 2015.

I found the original post where I found out about the Snoopy fountain pen. Someone mentions the Sailor Clear Candy.  Now I have to search for that to see what it looks like. 
 

Ah, yes, I can see why the Snoopy pen looks like the Sailor Clear Candy. The star topper is the main difference, because the Snoopy pen has a rounded point star a la Montblanc thus Snoopblanc. Pity the pen is no longer available that I could find in a short time of searching.

They look alike, I think, but I recognize the brand of your Snoopy from my forays through AliExpress. The Clear Candy was from around the same time. It was probably the hot pen design of that time. It’s super cute and that post was fun to read.

I like that Pen BBS one! I have a similar No  Nonsense,  mine has a rubber section that leaks- I need to fix it.

I have the Turquoise dot, but couldn’t decide if it was blue. Guess I should have included it by the “Mint Blue” TWSBIs.
