What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[Avalonia]

The list is RIDICULOUS, but:

- xFountainpens x540, fine nib, claret coloured

- Sailor Clear Candy, metallic pink (fine nib, but all Clear Candies are fine nibbed)

- Jinhao 1200 (golden dragon)

- Hero something or other, it has a panda on it and that's all that matters

- Reform 1745

- Pilot 78G (another one! I liked the first one so much that I wanted a second)

- TWSBI Diamond 540 (my most expensive pen EVER)

- Esterbrook SJ (I think it's a gunmetal/black colour)

- Platinum PN-500 (which seems to be somewhere between the Plasir and the Preppy. It's stripy)

- Serwex 1362, fine

- Camlin 18, fine nib, red (and I am going to need some silicone grease for those two)

- Baoer 507 Eight Horses, medium nib

- Wing Sung pen, fine nib, not sure of the number, it's supposed to be porcelain with blue painting on it.

 

... yeaaaaah. Quite a few. I should have the Reform by the end of the week, though, since it's coming from within Canada.

A new to me Parker 51 Aero Cocoa. And from being restored a Sheaffer Fineline, Sheaffer Statesman Snorkel, and a Demi Parker 51 Aero Cocoa.

 

 

May I ask, as someone who knows little to nothing about Parker pens, why I keep seeing emphasized that the pen for sale is a 'Cocoa'? Is it the colour that is prized, or........? I keep seeing it emphasized, so I know there must be *something* to it!

[back to basics]

A Franlkin-Christoph m29 which should arrive today.

[The Write Pen]

No pens for me, but I'm sure the postal service will have some for me to restore. It's great, I often never know what the next box will contain. What will it be this week? A Parker Vacumatic, a Wahl ringtop, a Sheaffer snorkel? I really love my part time job/hobby.

 

Regards,

Serwex MB flex from fountain pen revolution

[oshizemi]

More free pens coming along with some large bottles of Noddler's inks. 4 pens to be precise.

[lurker]

White Lamy Safari, should be here by Friday.

[tmcneil82]

My newly repaired MB 149 should be back from service any day now. Can't wait to pit it side by side with my favored 14k model to decide which is the victor.

I was bidding on E-Bay for pretty much anything less than two dollars with free shipping and picked up one or two from the many auctions I bid on. That's when things went horribly wrong. Nobody bid against me and I'm almost embarrassed to say that I have 24 Chinese pens on route. No two alike and my grand total is somewhere in the neighbourhood of $35. Not a bad price for all the pens but what am I going to do with them all? :embarrassed_smile:

My very first Lamy Safari (charcoal XF)! I'm super-excited.

Helloooo fellow pen hounds..... <img src="https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happyberet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="happyberet.gif" />

 

I have just ordered a Sailor Sapporo F nib with gold trim. I don't reckon it will arrive till next week though...... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crybaby.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="crybaby.gif" />

(I've already got a Professional Gear with B nib)

 

For what pen(s) are you waiting, in the mail? And are you waiting patiently lol....

 

I am anxiously awaiting an Aurora Optima Auroloide marbled blue with Gold trim. What a beauty! If it writes as well as I am told these Aurora pens/nibs do, I will be ecstatic. Counting down the hours!

I have one with the F nib, and bought an XF to go with it. They are very nice pens.

Mr. Enabler (aka Todd at Isellpens.com) just had to go post that "Hero 100" clearance, and somebody had to go and invent the Internet so I could look, and there just had to be a Hero 100 Flighter sitting there, and the price just had to be low, and my current Hero 100's cap just had to be broken, and I just couldn't help myself...

 

I count it a moral victory that I got out of there with only one pen in the basket.

Looking forward to R&K Glass pen and ink from the Goulet's shop. Next week, hopefully.

A Chinese Rotring 600 copy $3

A couple of Kaigelus for evaluation and

The GRAIL!

A Mint uninked Waterman Torsade Together with the matching BP (immediate bin fodder) ready to be my daily pen again. Come to me; I've a nice cartridge of Violet Tendresse for you...

I'm also waiting for mine. When sending to a brittish repairman right before a brittish pen show, I assume it's my own fault if I have to wait a bit longer.

Lamy 2000 fine

[todayilearned]

Franklin-Cristoph 27 and Piper Empire Dark Forest.

 

Just got the tracking number so they should be here in the mail on Saturday I hope.

A standard Sailor 1911. I'm really excited because it's my first Sailor pen and I've heard lots of praise for this pen!
