If I only had a pen for every time I said I wouldn't buy anything for 6 months! lol - oops I have! You will never make it! :ltcapd:

 

I know what you mean. It would help if I stayed off this forum.

Parker duofold Jr and Lady,

 

and then it's no more pens for a while for me.

 

...probably :embarrassed_smile:

A Parker 51, from an Ebay auction that ended Monday night. I kept watching the countdown clock in the last couple of minutes, fully expecting to be sniped at the last second....

Now I keep checking the tracking number every couple of hours, even though the expected delivery is said to be January 31.... :bonk:

Is it always this way when you win something? It's only the second online auction I was in, and I'm SOOO impatient! I want it to come so I can see what color it really is -- the seller called it "maroon", which *could* mean that it's plum (but probably isn't).

(I of course did *not* win the auction for the plum 51 Demi that ended tonight.... )

Pelikan 140 and a couple Conway Stewarts.

I totally blew my pen budget for this month! I am (forcibly) patiently waiting for the arrival of 4 pens, a bottle of ink & a FP friendly journal. A bit much but I love them all!

Well I looked again just now, even though the post office in CA is probably closed long since. The USPS tracking website info is now saying February 1.

Yes, I am replying to my own post, thanks for noticing :embarrassed_smile: -- it seemed easier than to try an edit of the original post, given that it was posted at least an hour ago at this point....

I'm on a Sheaffer Touchdown binge. I count 6 in a month's time. Three are here, in use. Three are on the way. Must stop.

[kwk1]

Lamy Studio black in Fine and a Pelikan M805 black in Medium just came in.

I'm waiting on a TWSBI 540 Broad in Sapphire.

[vibin247]

I just practiced absolutely NO self-control these few months. I just pulled the trigger on a Platinum #3776 Chartres Blue in EF just now on GouletPens.com (they're just so awesome...) I'm definitely just keeping it to inks and paper for a while...

[chad.trent]

Visconti Opera Crystal!

 

I want one of those soooooo bad.

 

Out of my budget for now...

Hero 9201 with a cursive italic nib

[restlesscourage]

Pulled the trigger on what has to be my last pen for quite a while: a Noodler's Ahab clear demonstrator from the Goulets, which shipped this morning! (Also a bottle of Diamine Red Dragon to put in it, and a Rhodia Reverse Notebook (one of the 8.25x8.25in wirebound books) for writing out logic proofs, because I am apparently that much of a nerd.) I was contemplating a Lamy Vista, but the Ahab is almost $10 cheaper ($15 when you figure in the converter), I want to try a brand of pen I don't already have, and I'm intrigued by this pen that may require some tinkering, as I like figuring out how things work.

A checked Baoer 79 (Starwalker homage)

I haven't actually tried out Chinese pens before, so I'm excited to find out how this one goes.

[inkstainedruth]

Well, the 51 arrived today (haven't even had time to open the package yet, because I'm having to charge up the camera batteries -- I wanted to give it the full court press of the "unveiling" ). But while it was still in transit I saw a great deal on a UK made Parker Vector (a "buy it now"), so that one is hopefully now in transit (supposed to arrive sometime next week).

I thought it was about time I had good japanese nibs on mmy desk, so I ordered a Pilot 92 Custom Heritage and a Platinum 3776, both with extra fine nibs.

Congrats on the 51!

 

What am I waiting for? Nuffink!!!

[Mags]

I am waiting on some paper and a close out sale of TWSBI 540 so I have another scud pen for trying out inks to decide if I want to use them. A Noodlers nib creeper would have been cheaper but the TWSBI is still a good pen......the bases have never been brittle and cracked or broken on my other two. I also ordered a Visconti travellers ink pot from Fountain Pen Hospital in NY.

[ardvarticus]

A Cross Century (maybe a century II? The seller didn't know) with a barleycorn engine-turned finish that I haven't been able to find any pictures of anywhere. It looks a lot like the one from this video, I think -

. £18 on eBay

I'm waiting for a later model Parker 45 GT in black.

 

I love 45's
