What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[Oeufdepoire]

Currently waiting for my very first own real FP : a Pelikan M215, ringed.

[The Good Captain]

Pelikan 100N and Conway Stewart 58 & 60. One will be a Christmas present from my wife but she doesn't know it - yet.

[rockerxs]

A Kaweco Ice Sport Blue.

I'm planning on using it as an ED, but haven't been able to find The Silicone Grease for a reasonable price yet (i cant pay 10-20$ shipping for a 2-3$ product) so still looking for it in the Local Market.

2 Pilot 78g pens from Hong Kong. My wife called to tell me that they had sent it Registered and so she could not sign for it.... I have to stop by the post office after work today. Not sure why they require a signature... total cost of contents was 6$...

Pelikan 400NN with a B nib.

Just had about $400 of Akkerman inks arrive for our pen club (14 bottles). The colours on screen don't do the inks justice. And the customer service and packing are stellar.

For myself, I took a look at Greg Minuskin's website, and wound up getting a Black Sheaffer Balance XF with a #33 Flex nib

and then a few days later an all metal Redipoint with a fantastic Fleur de Lis pattern, and 14k flex nib.

So... I also bought Caliken's book on how to write Copperplate, since I now have pens I need to learn to use decently....

I await a Lady Sheaffer Balance that has taken quite a trip to various restorers due to a glued section (not the normal stuff).

[pajaro]

One Reform piston filler.

[parnesh]

Pelikan 400NN brown tortoise OM nib.

[Redbarchettayyz]

A vintage green Radite Sheaffer FP & Pencil set, and a brown celluloid Majestic that needs a new sac.

I have just bought my FOURTH pen... which probably isn't good since I bought my first one about 2.5 months ago (luckily none was more than $30, but still, this is beginning to get expensive for a college student!)

I won a Parker 45 with a B nib. This will be my first vintage pen, although I'm not sure when it was made. I really wanted a parker with a B nib, instead of F or M, so I'm glad I found this one. I am excited for it to arrive, but also somewhat unsure about it, because the seller told me in an e-mail that it can only be used with cartridges and not a converter. I'm not sure how that's possible, but I hope it's not the case.

My first vintage pen purchase: a Parker Vacumatic that I believe was manufactured in 1945.

Nice! Enjoy it. I love my M215 Lozenge.

I found a Taccia Momenta with Broad nib in mint condition online. I've never owned a Taccia or a pen with a broad nib, so that's how I justified this one. It's a beautiful design. I like faceted pens, and the Momenta's twist is unique.

[mAnuscript69]

A Smoke TWSBI 540 with a fine nib.

Nakaya...Decapod Heki-tamenuri with medium stub nib.

 

I can't believe I'm doing this...

TWSBI mini, classic, EF nib, and one of their mechanical pencils too. I've even more mechanical pencil and lead holders than I do fountain pens.
