What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[phrenzy]

I'm sure this happens to most people when they pick up the habit but I have more pens and inks in the mail than I have in the house, my poor credit card.

 

I'm waiting for:

 

A monteverde invincia carbon fibre

A lamy safari w/ M nib

A Parker: reflex, profile IM, jotter and a frontier

a couple of chinese nonsense pens off eBay

And a half dozen diamine and noodlers inks...and a dc supershow blue

 

All I have at home is a lamy al star and a chromed Parker jotter flighter...the suspense is killing me!!!

This one to return from a minor interior polish and service from Brian Edison. His aftersales service is really sublime.

An Edison Pearl, green mottled celluloid from American arts plastic with silver specks. Inked with iroshizuku (probably tsuki-yo) with a pearl bulb filler and a gold, 0.5mm cursive italic nib.

Ha, ha! And I thought I was bitten badly. :ltcapd: You chose an appropriate user name, for sure!

I think I'm nearly done for the time being, it was my conceit to have a basic selection of pens to start of with and try. I figure all that's missing is a pen from a nice company, I have eyes on a Graf-Von faber castell guilloche...then I'm definitely done...for now...unless I can find a brause no.86 dip nib pen then I'm reall done...for now

A Stipula Etruria Santa Fe..............and the FPN LE BLue Celluloid Etruria when it is ready.

Received my shipment from Todd (isellpens) today. Loving the medium Pilot 78G, the fine, not so much, but I plan to give it to my sister as a gift. She loves xf-xxf nibs. The DC Supershow Violet looks awesome in the bottle! It's gonna look great on paper!

w00t!

[ticoun]

well well well, i just bought a burgundy Sheaffer Snorkel Sentinel on the classifieds!

not in the mail yet, but i'm already very happy and excited!

[sarahfar]

An interesting pen from Europe. A 1999/2000 149. What makes it interesting is it's not a MOP but has original white trim.

[Hex]

I have two coming and they can't get here soon enough.

New Pelikan M205, Toledo Red, medium nib, Binderized

Pelikan 140, medium nib from Penguin.

 

I had tried a Peilkan M215 before and didn't like it, but Pelikan's are talked about so glowingly I figured they deserved another chance.

Spent the whole week fussing over ebay 51s and then once a large batch of auctions were coming to an end, some guy pops up with a buy it now 51 Aero in the colour and (14k) nib size that I want. Most of the auctions were going for about $60-70, so there was a bit of a premium for the convenience, but I'm ok with that - it was still the cheapest buy-it-now type deal.

 

Still waiting for an Estie from the classifieds as well as a whole bunch of inks that I ordered, one batch from one week ago with Diamine Violet, Red Dragon and Light Green, and today I put in some stuff for light blues from Goulet's (I don't like standard blues or "in your face" blues) as well as a whole bunch of green, purple and red ink samples.

 

That's probably my last big spending spree for a while. I might go looking through some antique stores though. I don't expect spending big on anything else until the TWSBI Smoke comes out .
