What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[AtomicLeo]

Taccia Momenta Midnight Clouds finish with medium nib. It's sitting in a FedEx truck in Santa Fe 'Out for Delivery' which will not actually go out for delivery until Monday. Sigh.

[feimo]

Pelikan 140.

 

 

I correct myself: 2 Pelikan 140!

[D.C. in PA]

There are three on the way - the first is a 1946 English Croxley. I like English vintage and this is my first Croxley.

Next is a mint (in box), stickered (price sticker still attached) 1938 black chased hard rubber Mabie Todd Blackbird.

Lastly, a contemporary pen. In 2005 Conway Stewart celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the founding of the o0mpany by issuing a 'Centenary' limited edition of 100 Henry Simpole silver overlay pens. Number 37 of the 100 appeared for sale in the same group as the two above by an English seller with whom I have done very pleasant and predictable business. I won all three auctions on e-bay and now am waiting to see how much the Icelandic ash plume will delay the opportunity to enjoy the three delightful, very different pens.

I have two on the way: a Pilot Custom 823 with a medium stub nib from John Mottishaw, and a green striped Pelikan 400 with a nib stubbed by Greg Minuskin.

[USN Air TrafficController]

Have two pilot 823 custom(s) on the way from Japan. One amber, for use, and the black model for collection. Both with fine nibs as that suits my taste. YT

[colrehogan]

I'm waiting (although I think it is now at home) for a Waterford Eclipse from Levenger.

[JBat]

I ordered a Pilot Custom 823 Amber Demonstrator and a Sailor mid-sized 1911 in burgundy, both with broad nibs, from John Mottishaw yesterday. I can't wait to get them!

Pelikan 400 Honey White Tortoise, Pelikan 415 Brown Tortoise!

[Dr.Midnight]

I'm just waiting for a converter for a Cross Townsend. Stupid Cross, doesn't supply a converter any more.....

[desdedez]

A Delta Dolcevita OS (fine nib) with vermeil trim.

[Penman222]

A NOS Sheaffer Legacy 1 with a medium nib. This will be last pen and/or ink purchase for a great while.

[Bo Bo Olson]

Pen if you go far enough back, was what a nib was called....I'm waiting for 6 Geha nibs, one as is, one with a full section, the rest with just twist in nib and feed.

They are steel, or gold plated steel.

I have a wonderful 14 K, semi-flex KM on my Geha 790.

I am hoping for a couple of semi-flex nibs, even one.

A couple of good nibs could force me to buy more Geha's.

[reprieve]

Waiting for three Watermans from the new GoPens catalog. A cardinal red 52; a red ripple 52; and a red ripple 52v with an italic nib. UPS is scheduled to come this afternoon... I just hope they get here before I have to leave for the evening!

[The Dude]

Ive been bad this week:

 

1) Aurora 88 with flexy medium nib and gold filled cap(second batch of production I believe, but I think still from late 1940's or early 1950's at the latest)

 

2) 1950's Celluloid MB 146G with flexy OBB nib

 

3) MB Platinum LeGrand Ballpoint

 

EDIT: How could I forget about my 4) Visconti Homo Sapiens Ballpoint also on the way from Bryant.

Mmm.... nobody believes you!

[obmike]

my pilot 845. mike at work fixed the feed and stubified it.

[Guest Pjay]

The agonising wait can be much worse when advice is received that the parcel (Duofold 05 and Waterman Phileas) has been stolen. Prompt communication from J.M.Lewertowski reassures me that a replacement parcel is on the way

Other eagerly awaited packages include one with Lucky 8 Duofold, and another with Pelikan NOS M800 and matching BP.

My 'postie' is getting to know me quite well...

About a week ago, I thought I was completely content with my current line up. Then someone had to incite unrest by posting a thread on peoples' favorite demonstrator. I saw the Stip Suprema Nuda, an LE. I'd seen it before, but not when I fell in love with demonstrators after my first one.

Anyway - have ordered it, partly to my dismay and partly to my excitement . Wait, it gets better - It is payment to myself for my successfully running 4 days in a row (I haven't done any regular running in a long time and am suffering for it.). Can you imagine! Boy does the mind like to rationalize, or what??? Yeah, but I needed incentive to RUN!!!! And I am really happy Swisher Pens sent out the 10% off memorial day coupon, because I readily took advantage of it! So, this coming Monday?????????
