What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[jjaberg]

Bought a Waterman Charleston but just couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to - so I sent it back for an exchange and am now waiting for a Visconti Van Gogh Midi. Love Visconti! This will be my third.

 

Waiting for a nib for a Pelikan 120.

 

Waiting for a JinHao Dragon's Descendent. Will be my second JinHao. Great value!

[jniforat]

I am waiting for a Merlin Merlina from Richard Binder.

 

what kind of nib does that "51" has it, it writes wonderfully!

[Sesheta]

I'm waiting for a black Estie J that looks like it's seen better days but that's coming with a copper J pencil engraved with Camden Copper Company. Can't wait to get it and check it's working. In need of a pencil as I'm not allowed to bring in pens when I'm researching in the National Library and miss my SJs.

I'm waiting for two:

 

1. A Lamy Studio 68 LE in the Platinum Grey finish, from TheWritingDesk;

2. A FrankenStipula - a Suprema Nuda with a titanium nib transplant, bought from another member on this board. This one's coming from the US (to the UK) and won't even be posted until tomorrow. This one is a first, twice over - first Stipula and first titanium nib. Can't wait!

I'm waiting for a black radite Sheaffer Flat Top from speerbob.

[zwingtip]

a black Gold Bond "Stonite" with a greenish top to the cap. For $25 shipped, it's okay if it turns out to be junk.

I've just ordered the TWSBI with v1.5 piston. I mean literally - 2 minutes ago. So I'm not sure that counts as being "in the mail" yet (though I hear that they get despatched fairly quickly).

 

It's a sign of how ludicrously excited I am that, having only just paid for the item, I can't wait to get it.

 

I told myself that I didn't want/need at titanium nib, or a coloured barrel - hence today's order. But I think we all know what that means in reality, don't we?????

Peter Pan eyedropper by Salz Bros.

[sdcurnow]

Waiting for a Danitrio kara-nuri with a flex EEF nib. It may be a few days.

[bigstick]

A Danitrio Cum Laude in brown, with a fine nib. tick tock, tick tock.

[hereim]

A black Waterman Phileas, a gift to my young friend

Another Black Chased Osmia, this time shockingly dirt cheap, piston is frozen....no big deal, one expects a problem with a 65-70 year old pen. Nib is "loose". That will give me something to "repair".

It is a WW2 pen..(missing the cap ring trim...just the rills of later war)..if it was a Pelikan or a Soennecken or a MB, I'd be real happy, in that was when them made great steel nibs.

How ever it is an Osmia with a Supra nib in steel....and Supra was always a great nib, in gold or steel......so I don't get one of the Great German War Steel nibs....I just get the great Supra nib.....in steel.

 

Soennecken, Pelikan and MB would have to go some, to beat a Supra nib.

 

Last year I lucked into two black chased pens one for me expensive, the other dirt cheap...and didn't see any for ages. Suddenly they were all over the place...and I busted my low budget to get some....now I have 7 counting the two in the mail, five in the last 2-3 weeks.

I ordered a Pelikan m200 black and blue pen

[tutelman]

I was making my daily run at eBay when I saw the blue Underwood Piccadilly Eco with a Buy It Now Price of $40. What a bargain. I snapped it up.

 

The same seller had a matching Eco in red with a Buy It Now of $60, but who needs two? (Three, actually, since I have one in black.) Well the opening asking bid was $19.99, so what the heck. To make a long story short, I won that one too and I am waiting for both to arrive.

 

Then, of course, there is the Montblanc Noblesse from Singapore. I paid more than I had hoped to, but if I read the photo correctly, it has a BB or stub nib.

 

USPS, please get a move on!

Not yet in the mail, but waiting nonetheless: Hakase 32012, ordered in december 2009, to be produced by the latest in august 2011... Ruud

[franzrogar]

I'm waiting a Parker 51 Custom with black barrel and lustraloy cap made in England in 1954.

 

And I really want to write with it!

Sir, you have patience.

That is a gift from the Gods.

I will now look to see what it is that is worth such a wait.

 

The article I saw did not show much of the pens, but the ink rack, was simple, space saving, which is important in Japan. The natural wood art pen holders were great. The pen storage box, where form in the end is beauty...and is quite well thought out.

Not waiting for any at the moment, every time I bid on Ebay I get sniped, or change my mind. I think I want a TWSBI though...

Stipula Etruria Fiesole from Marco @ Novelli in Rome.

[Brian C]

Ratmanson Ebonite Supreme and Guider Jumbo. The wait for a pen to ship from India is unbearable.
