I took this picture of my red pens back in 2005.  All have found new homes in the last 18 years, but I still like to look at the picture.   Left to right - Conway Steward Dandy, Parker Challenger, early Waterman HYP, Pelikan M620 Madrid, Parker Vac Major, Eversharp Skyline.

I really like that Eversharp Skyline and how the cap appears to mimic, in miniature, a Greek hoplite war helmet.

  These are wonderful!  I’m sure they are happy to be made beautiful again and passed on to appreciative people. I could get lost in the depths of all that marbling.

Thank you -  I have always thought this and couldn’t put my finger on where I had seen that helmet before.

desk pens

I've only one a black Lamy Joy, and somehow either didn't see what I wanted or was noobie stupid, back when I thought 10-15 pens was all one needed.

I do have enough pen stands for them....now.

Pelikan....

no name marble9KZt4Pl.jpg

 

and have three single, more ball point or thin fountain pen ones.

 

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

Desk pen stands are neat, I keep looking for The One, because I don’t have much room.

I saved up for me what was a small fortune, for my Grail Pen, a Soennecken 111 Extra in herringbone....after six months, the money burnt a hole in my pocket....:crybaby:

4-or so Pelikan pens, a 500 later eyeballed to OBBB maxi...normally so far out of my range, I didn't even know it existed....much less thought of.  A '54 tortoise 400 semi-flex B, a 381 and a Celebry (both in slightly different marbled green), and that night I also got that Pelikan desk stand.

A Wild Night on Ebay!!!!
