What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

Montblanc 142 Green striated

Since I asked my wife for a few more expensive pens for Christmas I just ordered myself a Nemosine Singularity and a X450 from xfountainpens...I also ordered a very cheap Hero 529 from ebay. My intention is to get a few cheaper pens so I can fool around with tweaking the nibs, maybe try my hand at smoothing, etc.

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

An excellent place to start with a first vintage Al. Like most here, I've had several and keep one, almost for 'old time's sake'. You also get the huge advantage of easily interchangable nibs - and suprisingly mostly easily available too.....

 

(The Collier I bought S/H on Ebay......)

Waiting on a Parker 75 "Damier" in sterling silver. Hopefully the stars align and I see it this week!

Hi all,

 

Ordered a Sailor Profit Large (1911) in Black with Nagahara Cross Emperor Nib yesterday. Really looking forward to testing out the Cross Point nib.

 

Cheers,

 

Michael

Currently waiting on several from another eBay/FPN spree this weekend!

 

- Montverde Invincia (M)

- Conklin Glider (F)

- Vintage Watermans Skywrite (black w/ gold cap - interested to get a better look at this one!)

- Several Baoer and Jinhao pens that were crazy cheap on eBay, hope to play around with some and give some away for new fountain pen users

An Italix Parson's Essential, in the beautiful blue, with a M nib. Hope to use Pelikan's Edelstein Sapphire in it.

From the classifieds, I'm waiting on a TWSBI Diamond 530.

 

From JetPens, I have a Pilot Penmanship, a Pilot Plumix, and a Sailor HighAce Neo - a couple of pens I can loan out or throw in a bag without worrying about.

Just sent off my violet Intensity back to the Sheaffer repair centre to have the Medium nib unit exchanged for a Fine size.

I'm waiting for a Persimmon Swirl Edison Collier.

 

Good choice. I got one this summer and now I use it every day. A beautiful, wonderful pen.

 

I like it so well that I'm considering either another color or else an Edison Beaumont.

[sargetalon]

A red Pelikan M100, I think...

[AV8R210]

Waiting for the Wahl-Eversharp Doric that Syd Saperstein is restoring.

[GSteer]

Just dropped an order in for an Edison Collier in Persimmon Swirl with a 1.5mm stub (with an obligatory bottle of Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki), plus a new black coated medium nib unit for my Stealth Vanishing Point. I'll prob get that 1.5 ground down to 1.3.

I'm waiting for my (probably last) grail pen...

 

a mid1930's Sheaffer standard sized vac filler in Ebonized Pearl finish.

 

Supposedly it shipped last Thursday from North Dakota.

 

I just bought the same size pen this AM in gray pearl just in case I needed some parts.

 

Thanks to Columbus Day, I have to wait another day for it. Grrrrrr...

I'm waiting for a Persimmon Swirl Edison Collier.

 

Oh you so and so! if that's coming from ebay.co.uk - I snaffled the Emerald Hudson from the same seller... but I had my eye on the Collier too. Enjoy it!

I *was* waiting for a clear demonstrator Noodler's Konrad, but the mail arrived while I was typing this ...
