What pen are you waiting for in the mail?


scratchy

Recommended Posts

I was going to reply to this post last night--got sidetracked, then the pen arrived today. It is a Pelikan M215 in black on blue---the one with the blue barrel with silver stripes. I was smitten with the design of this pen and finally found one for sale here in the U.S. It is small (my existing favorite pen, the M800, dwarfs it). But this 215 is just a gorgeous little pen.

Just received a silver Sheaffer (bark effect or similar)with gold clip, which arrived a day sooner than expected. But now waiting for a Waterman 88 Jifmatic to arrive. Have looked in here (FPN)there and everywhere re the 88 Jifmatic but cannot find any information about it.It might be a unique one-off, and worth thousands. If it is, I will not post a photo as it will make you all jealous. :puddle:

One of Richard's New Dunn pens. I think it's in transit - and the people in my office are getting tired of me circling the inbox!

Looking for an Omas Arco Verde...the one that got away.

My FPN pens and as one of the lucky Etruria buyers...looks like I get to wait another month...but I know it will be worth it, also pre-ordered some Ahabs and threw in a Baoer Skywalker while I was at it. I'm gonna need more pen storage :embarrassed_smile:

FPN Etruria (still!) and a little Kaigelu 319 with a lapis blue cap. The latter will be interesting to try out. A gold nibbed pen for £32... The boss has got one with a white cap, but hasn't inked hers and probably won't.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

The wait for my Edison Nouveau Premiere has reminded me just how much I hate the tracking system USPS uses for international express shipments. I will probably receive the pen before I receive notification that the pen has even reached the country. I sort of wish I could have chosen FedEx or some other carrier, but oh well. Gotta keep my fingers crossed (making it very hard to write and type) in the meantime.

Well, I was waiting on a green Epenco Moon and Stars lever fill but I just found out that the USPS confirmed delivery of it last Thurs. :gaah: Just not in my mailbox. Or somebody helped themselves! :bawl:

I'm waiting on the last of my Pilot Custom 743''sto arrive: Falcon, Posting, and Waverly to add to my Sutab. That's all the specialty nibs with the exception of the Music nib, which is just to wet and bold to be much use to my handwriting.

...my first semi-vintage purchase: a Mabie Todd Swan 3260 full flex in route from Great Britain.

 

On Monday I hope to add three Noodler's Ahabs to the mix. With any luck it will be a Flexi-Thanksgiving weekend!

I'm waiting for a Parker 88 in Corinth finish (interested to compare it to the numerous Vectors I've bought over the years) a Waterman Reflex and some Baoer 388s from ebay. I was hoping at least one would show up before the weekend which would stave off my craving, but no joy. I'll have to go and order some more ink to cheer myself up!

Won a fully restored red Esterbrook J 1555 Gregg Fine off the 'bay to go with the blue one I got off the classifieds (I got it yesterday, it's my favorite pen so far :)).

Cheap pens.

 

A Franklin Covey Cross Lexington and a Kaweco Ice Sport. It is funny how how two things costing less then $30 combined can cause me so much pleasure, lol.
