What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

One 1990s Pelikan M 200 fountain pen in black with a 14K M nib off eBay...

Update on the saga of the missing Conklin! UPS retrieved it and it's been reshipped. I should get it today or tomorrow. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[penmanila]

a black duofold international i couldn't resist picking up on ebay (it was going "buy it now" for $105!). here's a pic from penhome.co.uk:

I am afraid I got +1 instead of receiving.

Current status is:

- STILL 1 from US

- STILL 1 from UK (that's the most worrying of all, it's now almost two weeks...)

- plus another from UK.

 

The new one will be my first Sheaffy Flat top. It is a pretty discolored jade, but I got it for a small price and I am looking forward to it.

I am getting nervous not receiving two pens from UK. It's almost three weeks now...

To try to not to think too much on it, tonight I won another Balance 5-30 Jade...

 

Update! Between thursday and saturday (I was away) I received all of them! old and new!

 

Just not to be idle I purchased here on FPN another Balance. This one has a long road to go (Canada) so I'm expecting it after the holidays...

Currently waiting for a blue Sheaffer snorkel, a gold-brown striped Sheaffer lifetime, an Esterbrook SJ black, and a red Esterbrook J.

 

The Sheaffers and the red Esterbrook are going to be project pens, I bought them off ebay and I'm pretty unsure what to expect. Going to make a pendemonium parts order pretty soon so I can get them all in working shape.

 

On another note, I'm also waiting for a free jetpens photo contest prize...I won a 12-color set of glitter pens! Probably going to give those as a gift...

Waiting for my Stipula Bellini to come back from the shop. I had to send it back to repair the clip and cap ring, both of which tarnished in different and odd ways. I'm hoping that they also replace the italic nib, which is too wide for my taste.

I am waiting for a new Danitrio Takuni!! I think it will arrive in the next day or two. Plus, still awaiting my Omas Guilloche which is in the repair shop in Italy -- I don't expect that in a day or two.

It's a thin plating of gold over silver, that's why it tarnished. A polishing cloth would have spared it a trip to Italy.

I think I've almost lost count for this thread, too.

 

Waiting on a two pens to come back from Pendemonium (tomorrow, I hope, since they didn't land yesterday), a Talentum I purchased from an FPN member in England, a pen for a friend that will in turn go to England, and three stocking-stuffer pens for friends in various States (though they will actually be New Year's gifts cuz they are coming from a distance, as well). Then there is the hopeful set from that mass of 51's David I. teased us all with which will complete a doctoral gift - finally (I went with the initial 51 suggestion after seeing David's preview... wow!). I think that's it... I think. Maybe... uh...

I am waiting for my Waterman Audace from M. Lewertowski.

 

I'm picking up my newly ground pen from Pendemonium tomorrow.

I love my Raden! You will NOT be disappointed by that one. The Safari is a great choice as well. Everyone here speaks very highly of the Phileas, but I just never got used to it. Great decisions!
