Green Pen Club - Show Us Your Green Pens!


Misfit

Recommended Posts

@Penguincollector started a Blue Pen Club thread. It was so cool to see all the blue pens. We decided that more colors of pens should get a Pen Club. Up next is green pens because it is now Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, though it might not feel like it. Green is showing up more in nature. Enter the Green Pen Club.

The big one, a Guider Capsule has green so it stretches it a little.

I bought mine in junior high, and didn’t realize that it came in other colors until much later. It’s one of my oldest friends. I also forgot about my ancient olive Waterman that I dropped in AP World History and put away to get fixed. I’m finally getting around to it. The sac is probably powder.

Here are the stragglers: Wancai Mini Mint swirl, Kaweco Sport Skyline Mint, and a Regal 117 Alice in turquoise that looks more green.

We have some green pens in common. I tried to get the green Opus 88 Picnic pen, but it was not to be. I’m glad you have one.

Did you manage to get one in another colour?

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Hi @jandrew Franklin-Christoph makes some super nice pens. How does the model 20p differ from the Model 20?

The 20p is the pocket version of the 20 --- just the barrel length differs:

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

No expense spared !!!  🤣🤣🤣   I believe it's a Sheaffer School Pen. The photo sizing flatters the little pen is only 5" long measured as shown in the picture.

Now I’m confused (plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose)

 

I have two pens that could be considered to be ‘appropriate’ for this thread - but both might equally be considered to be inappropriate.

 

One is an aerometric Parker “51” in ‘Navy Grey’.

This is a grey-ish colour that I perceive as being far more ‘green’ than is the paint on His Majesty’s Ships.

 

The other is a Lamy Safari in ‘Petrol’.

Is it green? Is it blue? Or is it neither the one nor t’other🤷‍♂️
