What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[Clancy]

I'm waiting on the return of my Pelikan M405 from the venerable Pendelton Brown who is working his nib magic with a 'Butter-line' custom grind. Yes, time passes slowly.....

[euphemus]

Just ordered a Pelikan M1000 in green with a B nib from missing-pen.de (via eBay). Also, have a bucketload of ink on the way

[dex138]

A rOtring Freeway FP and MP set in matte black and brushed silver finish - the FP being a fine nib apparently, (thought they only came in 'M' )and the MP using 0,7mm lead.

Ugh,,, My first Visconti is sitting at the Post office this weekend as I missed the mailman by 10 minutes !!!! UGH !!!!

 

Ill be picking up my Homo Sapiens Bronze w/Stub nib on Monday morning at 9am SHARP !

 

 

Yes I am throwing a temper tantrum all weekend now !

[Stompie]

I am still waiting for my Akerman Pump pens!

 

No reply to emails or mesages on FPN - Zip Nada Zilch! :bonk:

[lemanfan]

I pulled the plug on another Sailor from Taizo-san... his shop is getting expensive for me Each pen, relatively cheap, combination of all pens - truckload of money.

I just won a Pelikan Signum on the bay, it is coming to Canada from Argentina. Can't wait!

A Mabie Todd 200/60 Semi Flex

and a Serwex 162

[MrSpudboy]

A couple cheap Chinese pens I am going to play with.

But, the kicker is:

I was looking at a friends vanishing point, and decided I had to have one.

I bought a cherry used one off ebay, from a pen guy for 80 bucks plus shipping. I have been watching these, and didn't figure I could do much better.

It was supposed to come last Thursday. I checked the tracking page, and it was re-posted to be delivered on Friday. Didn't come Friday.

Now it is listed as being delivered on the 31st!!

Looks like Brown lost the package! I have gotten a lot of stuff delivered by Brown, and have never seen this happen...DANGIT!

That is what Brown did for me!

Guanleming 2001 demonstrator! A $7 pick-me-up for a crappy day at work.

 

I'm tempted to get a bottle of Bay State Blue, as others have done, and dedicate the pen to it. I also imagine that my Skrip Turquoise will look amazing in it.

PFM III

[oshizemi]

2 Uniball white gel pens

1 Platinum Century 3776 XF, black

1 Platinum Century 3776 F, wine demonstrator

1 Kuretake Weasel Hair brush pen (+ Platinum converter)

3 dip pen holders

about 20 various dip pens nibs

 

Then I swear I am done for the year...

[GallBladder]

I only buy sub $100 pens (shipping not included), and I recently bought a few I'm still waiting on..

 

• 
   
  
• Parker Vacumatic set w/pencil
  
• Onoto K Vacumatic
  
• Sailor 1911M 14k MF
  
• Sheaffer Feather Touch
  
• Parker 21 set w/pencil
  
• MT Swan 3261
  
• Conway Stewart 479
  
• Pelikan M100 NOS
  

 

Note: I just received a big bonus at work, after some very hard work, so treated myself to a couple hundred dollars worth of pen stuff.

[TMac]

Waiting for a vintage Conway Stewart 75 that I won on the bay.

 

Also waiting for a burgundy marbled Wearever. Tracking shows it should be delivered by the Post Office today. Given that Hurricane Sandy is battering us today, I think the pen won't be here for a few more days. I guess that gives me time to decide what ink to use in it!

[Miketsheehan]

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....

My pals at the Big Apple Pen Club also want to order the Akkerman ink bottles. Do you mind if I ask you how you went about ordering them?

@andrew98

 

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.

 

 

 

Thats beautiful! Where did you get it from? I must get me one.

The return of my Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman after it was sent off for a sack protector replacement.

[emiliovillegas]

I'm waiting for my 146 to come back from repair. I hope Mr. Oxonian does wonders with it!
