What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

Got my two Kaigelu's a 365 and a 300, both are disappointing... Will stay with Parker's... and a few others. Planning to purchase a Montblanc Princesse Grace de Monaco.

Got a fantastic deal on a new Pelikan M205 in Taupe. Should be here Thursday from Arizona!

 

What deal? Where??

I have another Jinhao X450 coming from China. But I think it may have gotten "lost" in the US Mail.

Not a pen, but a pencil ...

Just to follow up:

 

The pencil arrived today and it is better than the original picture. Unseen in the shot were the small patterns on each of the six sides running from stem to stern.

 

The finish is silver-plate. It is a one-lead Fend, not a 4-color. It is a pen for Opel, but for a very special customer recognition from the detail of the work. It is a great example of German craftsmanship and quality. I think the word is Wertarbeit. I thank my friend Jan at Berlin-collectobles for finding it!

I have another Jinhao X450 coming from China. But I think it may have gotten "lost" in the US Mail.

Depends on how long you been waiting, it can take up to 4 to 5 weeks sometimes depending on the seller. Also every seller I've purchased from on eBay (being in China) has always (with the exception of one very cheap Yiren) provided me with a Tracking # starting with LK... ending in ...CN , which can be tracked via http://track-chinapost.com/ , but once it hits the United States you can actually track that # via USPS.

 

Far as ones I'm still waiting to arrive:

 

From China:

6x Jinhao X750 (I Already have a X750 in Shimmering Sands, I like the X750s much better than the X450s)

Yiren 3220

Wingsung 3203

 

From Local Sellers:

Sheaffer Touchdown Admiral in Evergreen with a Feathertouch Extra Fine Nib, completely restored w/ 1 year warranty

Sheaffer Craftman in Persian Blue with #33 Nib and new sac (listed as Restored)

 

The two Sheaffers I got this weekend, so I expect to get them by next wednesday or thursday.

 

The Chinese ones will be anywhere from March 17th to April 9th, I'm planning on selling some of the X750s once I get them as a domestic seller since I only ordered the bulk for a couple of the colors for myself.

Finally caved in and bought a Pilot MR/Metropolitan - love my Pilot Prera but want one that's a little tougher and it sounds like this fits the bill perfectly!

You're right. I have all of that information, which is why I know it should have been here by now. It came into the US on 3/10/14 and I would have thought it wouldn't take a week to make it to my house once in the US. I'll give it another few days before I notify the seller.

An early 90's Duofold Centennial Burgundy Marble with an 82 nib, not quite sure of the exact date but judging from the pictures it's Q till T with the raised bands...my favourites (although I've gotten quite fond of my Citrine)

 

Anyway, still two to go: a Blue Marble and a Pearl and Black.

Sometimes customs can hold up procedures for quite some time, I have been told...

A prera is still on the way from Japan, a Sheaffer imperial 330 will be here any day now. I have moved the new Delta Unica to the top of my wishlist, should be here in a few weeks and there is the Kaweco stonewash that will hit the store in a few weeks also.

Waiting patiently for a Conklin Endura and a Esterbrook (2 nd Estie in my collection)

TWSBI Vac 700 in Sapphire.

[injesticate]

Technically, it isn't in the mail yet, but I just won my first Esterbrook

 

It's a green J that's been restored with a new sac and NOS 1551 nib.

 

I'd bid on 2 or 3 coppers and a grey, but just missed each one. I think this one was meant to be, as it already has the work done, it was sold for less, and it has a box and what looks like instructions.

No, it LEFT the USPS sort facility in Elk Grove Village, IL on 3/10/14. So it's past the customs inspection stage and is floating somewhere out in the USPS system. :/

Waiting on a Conklin Herringbone, desert sands.

 

I am also still waiting on my second Jnhao x450. The first one got lost in the post and the second is now looking like it has gone the way of all Jinhao parcels.
