What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[teadragon]

Thanks to the Cross sale, I'm now waiting for two Cross pens in addition to the Phileas that I mentioned upthread.

 

- Cross ATX in Sage Green

- Cross Century II in Ruby

- Waterman Phileas

 

I'm quite excited! They're the first pens I've ordered for myself, and they're my only pens other than the one I have now (a Levenger TrueWriter).

 

Sale? Where?

 

 

On the Cross website. There are only a few FPs for sale, though; limited selection of color, style, and nib size, but good discounts on the handful that are available.

 

Mine haven't actually shipped yet, so I'm still waiting on that, but the Phileas is in transit now and should arrive soon.

I'm currently waiting on two vintage Watermans (Watermen?): a 503 and a 32 1/2. The former will be posted on the 5th and the latter tomorrow, so I should get both next week some time. It should be a good week!

A Danitrio Raw Ebonite Takumi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Deep Inhale*

 

A Pelikan 400 with flexible OBB nib, a Varuna Dip Pen with flexible italic Waterman nib, a semiflex Leverless Swan, a fine flexible Waterman 56, and a BCHR Conway Stewart 479 with fine flexible nib.

 

*Exhale*

 

So, at the beginning of the year, I was given a pen budget....

 

Yeah. I'm not getting any more pens until summer, that's for sure. The good news is that I don't care! I've turned off all my eBay searches, and am thrilled to have so many vintage pens from classic makers coming to me. It's going to take months to get to know these pens, and I can't wait!

damn ebay and all the sellers for tempting me on a daily basis!!!

I'm currently waiting for an Esterbrook SJ, a Dinouyang 818, and 6 Wearevers.

 

I'm itching to ink the Wearevers and get a sac in the Estie, if it needs one, and get it flowing too.

Waiting for my new black Visconti Van Gogh Midi with a fine nib - my first Italian pen! My package tracking widget (gotta love those Macs) says it'll be here in two days... I can hardly wait!

[nolagraph]

I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of a yellow VP with a fine nib - I gotta see what all the fuss is about these clickie fountain pens.

[Edgar Allan Bo]

Waiting for a restored pastel gray Waterman W2 (1950's) level Filler with a semi-flex nib!

 

Two days ago I ordered my first Binder-Nib, a 0,7 crisp italic in a black Pelikan M200 body!

[Carlos]

Not a pen but a nib... a broad italic nib unit for my Sonnet...

Hi!

 

I'm waiting for a Pilot Vanishing Point in black and gold with a medium nib. I plan to use it for my everyday working pen.

 

Regards,

Jerry

I am waiting for a Danitrio Alphaplus. My experiences with my other two Danitrios, a Densho (raw ebonite ED with the flexy stub nib) and a Tosca (cracked ice!) have me drooling in anticipation for this one.

[Dave PK]

I'm waiting for a modern red Pelikan m400 fine from overseas, and I realize it takes time, but I can't wait to fill it with ink and get writing!

 

I hope it will be my new favorite non-vintage pen! DP

 

PS

also waiting for an esterbrook blue lg, which I hope will be fun.

 

PPS

also waiting for a decent 15x triplet loupe to examine my nibs with, shipped, be here next week?

 

lol

I'm waiting on a black Pelikan M405 with a custom stub nib from Mr. Binder. :clap1:

 

[DeaconKC]

Waiting on a black Esterbrook J and a donor Estie to get another up and running.

[drawline]

I'm waiting for a Namiki Falcon Soft fine and a Waterman 52 1/2 with a fine flex nib (looking forward to that!) from John Mottishaw. Getting tired of waiting - sort of takes the fun out of it once you get past a certain point, ordered them late mid december and they landed in a bordering country 11 days ago. You can't help to not get your hopes up when it is so close and think that you WILL get them the next day, but then you dont, and the day after that and so on.
