What pen are you waiting for in the mail?


scratchy

Recommended Posts

My wonderful boyfriend just bought me a Pilot Capless Decimo (in red) because he "felt like he hadn't gotten me enough presents" (Which is insane) but I couldn't say no!! As of right now, it's my dream pen! I've always loved the VP but felt like it was a little too big and heavy for my tiny, weak hands (I really prefer slim, lightweight pens such as the Parker 45) and the coloring on the red decimo is a lot more maroon than it is scarlet, which I really like. I'm SO SO SO excited for it to get here!

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'm patiently waiting for an NOS Ero fountain pen & mechanical pencil set.

I've read a little about these, and they seem to be good daily writers. Any other insights?

Waiting for a Kullock vacumatic demonstrator to arrive. Coming from Argentina so it might be a while...

 

 

To the UK amk (like me), allow a long time. The longest I've ever waited for a delivery. My first purchases took nearly 3 months to arrive. The last items I bought never arrived at all. Fingers crossed for you.

Let me know how the 'running horses' pen works out. I'm thinking of gifting one to my daughter for Christmas

I'm waiting for a Persimmon Swirl Edison Collier.

 

It's just possible I hate you a little bit. In a nice way.

 

I seem to have dropped an ungodly ( to me) amount of money on my first real vintage pen - an Esterbrook. On the basis of zero knowledge. So I await delivery with an exciting mixture of expectation and fear. Kinda like awaiting a first born...

 

Cheers, Al

I just picked up an Esterbrook from eBay on a lark. It was $18.57 with shipping, and I figured that was the right price to try an Estie. The listing said it wasn't writing, but also that the seller was inexperienced with FPs, so I have no idea what I'm getting. I have very few vintage pens (and all my previous ones I purchased NOS or working used) and no Esterbrooks, so this will be an interesting experiment.

 

I think this will come by Thursday, according to eBay. I'm still waiting for the tracking info.

A Parker 45 flighter and a Parker 51 Cartridge-Fill. The 45 is going to someone as their birthday gift, but not before I clean, polish, and adjust it for them.

The 51...Ok, I admit it, it was an eBay spur of the moment. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...But you can never have enough 51's.

Waiting for shipping confirmation then delivery of a gunmetal finish Pilot VP and a clear TWSBI vac 700.

When you have pen and ink, every problem needs a piece of paper.
