What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[tutelman]

I breathlessly await the arrival of 2 pens; a Martini Blue Sky and a Francois-Yves Luthier Modigliani 2. I am most eager to get the Blue Sky (wih a stub nib). It is from a limited edition of 100 piston-fillers commissioned in 2005 from Bexley by Regina Martini. The Luthier M2 is a c/c pen issued from an edition of 2300 produced in 1998.

 

I didn't buy these for their furniture, but both have interesting clips. The Martini is done in 6K gold; the Luthier has a palladium plated bronze clip, made by Michel Audiard, inspired by Modigliani.

 

Photos of both are posted on Bernard Bernolet's website, BBWeb 2.0, which I highly recommend for a wealth of information on limited edition pens.

Montblanc Meisterstück 149

 

I am very excited

[sombrueil]

Two vintage: a carmine Sheaffer Balance Jr., from the tune-up shop, and my dream pen, a Pelikan 400 tortoise, about three times as expensive as any of my previous purchases. Then I'll have six pens altogether, so I'll probably sell a couple, since no one needs more than a couple pens on the desk and a couple pens on one's person. Right? And I won't need to buy any more pens this year.

 

We'll see.

That's what I thought for over 20 years, then suddenly I have 20 good quality fountain pens and the 21st on the way........

I am waiting for my second Waterman Laureat. It is a red marbled pen with a medium nib. I really like the look and feel of the Laureats. I am also waiting for a Pilot 78g.

Since we're enduring multi blizzards here in the Mid-Atlantic US, I have been busy online.

A grail from John Mottishaw that UPS delayed due to "adverse weather conditions"--obviously the warmest, sunny day in the past week--with no update as to when they might attempt a delivery, as it is now snowing again.Sorry had to rant, but it involves a good chunk of urushi...
