Bexley Imperial -- Denium stock Stub.

I always get a kick out of these "no affiliation" notations when it's blatantly obvious the poster has absolutely nothing to do with the brand, company, etc. beyond being a customer. It must be a feel-good/feel-important thing. So I'll note up front that nothing I write here on this forum is influenced by any financial-gain motivation.

Still waiting for my Lamy Vista, should arrive tomorrow (darn postal system who can't deliver in the time frame they say they will, grrrr!). However, I'm also waiting for another pen now, a Waterman Lady Patricia Nacre :)

Got my TWSBI mini Classic in the mail today. My 2nd, and as with the first, a great little pen. Now I am only awaiting a bottle of Yama Budo from Japan.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I, er, fell into a Writing Slope maybe a month ago and a few things have come my way in the mail recently... *coughs and tries to look innocent." What I'm waiting on today are four pens from China I've ordered over the past few weeks.

 

None were expensive - it's sort of an adventure, especially considering that some ebay items are described pretty clearly, if with the odd grammatical moment here or there, and some leave you with the vague impression that some pen or pens will enter your life at some point, if you buy now and make paypal happy immediately thereafter, so I'm waiting with a certain bemusement. Arriving any time over the next month should be:

 

"new standard size Paint Big tip pen Ls-3180e"

 

A Hero 3266

 

A Wing Sung 234

 

A Baoer 517 "Silver Sienna" I'm not sure if anyone but this particular ebay seller calls it a "Silver Sienna" but the name gets me - it strikes me as a very classy 1930's automobile that moves like a panther in the night, driving interesting people dangerous places. It will probably be too heavy for my hand, but hey, for what I paid, the aura of mystery alone is cheap at the price... ;)

 

Yesterday's surprise (It shipped faster than expected) was an Arnold. It writes, it is pretty, and I'm happy.

 

*sighs with repletion*
