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.

Yes! The buildup to a cute plastic pen. It was fun. I have three of them. I’m glad I found that thread, because I wanted a Snoopy fountain pen. You get it, because of the cute penguin pens you find.

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.

Glad to see you on here Ralph!  I have one of his custom pens and it is a delight.

Yes, a Pelikan M205 Petrol Marble.

Ack! Time for me to book another eye-test! 🤦‍♂️😁

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

Well, you could try looking for the larger Pels on the ‘pre-owned’ market…

 

Which is what I will be doing from now on - and not only because of the vertiginous price-increases, but especially because the dummkopfs at Pelikan decided to no longer fit their striped pens with translucent barrels 🤬😢

 

Just in case anyone cannot tell, I am, indeed, a Whingeing Pom.

I expect we’ll see prices of recent pre-owned Pelikans going up in the near future

@Penguincollector I shared my blue pens photo on Reddit because you inspired me.

I saw your post- I lurk, but don’t have a username (I don’t need more distractions, tbh). I was really happy to see it- MOAR BLUE PENS!

I certainly do get it- and try to keep it to penguins otherwise our house would be overrun with kawaiiness!

Lovely, collection- I’m enjoying how there’s so many different shades and so much gold trim!

Who made it, Kullock, or someone else?

Ralph Prather.  He is well known for his custom Parker 51's.

Oh I see, Ralph was being modest (or I have a thick head- not out of the question) and said it was custom, but didn’t mention that it was his own work- @RalphP, your work is exceptional! I’m so intrigued!

@mallymal1 ah I spy a Kaweco Ice Sport. I have them in green and red. 

[Penguincollector]

@mallymal1wow, I’m impressed, so many pretty blues! I like that pocket pen in the first picture and the gold capped one next to it- these are Live In You pens? Oh, and the light blue Wing Sung- what nib does it have?  The acrylics in the bottom photo are mesmerizing, how do you like the long pens that look like desk pens?

I went back to my first two posts and added the information on each of the pens.

Tbank you- that’s really helpful!

[amper]

I'm not going to bother with a picture, since my pens are quite common, but my daily writers are a TWSBI ECO-T Blue EF for most writing, and a TWSBI ECO Transparent Blue 1.1 mm stub italic for signatures and cheque writing. Both are filled with Mrs. Stewart's Concentrated Liquid Bluing (Prussian Blue pigment ink).
