Have gone simple - ordered a Lamy Vista with a broad nib. Wanted a clear pen for the new inks I'll be receiving soon

[Mikeambergris]

Ordered a Churchman's Presciptor with a medium italic from Mr. Pen on Thursday, in my hands by Friday afternoon. Great service and a really different pen.

[Vgimlet]

The two Pilot Crystal Pens that will complete my collection - Blue and Clear demonstrator with chrome.

[Newjelan]

I am waiting on 3 pens, all Pilot Custom Heritage 92s - blue, orange, smoke. I already have the clear one. I am so lucky and I can't wait.

Waiting for my Sailor King of Pens Ebonite and a 1911 Standard Black & Rhodium Trim. ETA on the KOP is 1-3 months

Contemplating purchasing a transparent Pilot Custom 92. What nib sizes did you choose?

[_Stormin_]

A Safari, and Al-Star, and a Vista... Had a gift card I had to use.

A Le Tigre 44 Brevette. I hardly know anything about this model, so I'm very curious about it!

[distaffcreations]

While waiting for a lovely YongSheng 016 silver wintersweet, I "accidentally" bid on some vintage pens on ebay. That lot of 4 pens in need of restoration will arrive well before the Chinese pen, which is apparently taking the slow boat.

 

The "vintage" pens are a mystery. One is lapis lazuli colored, another is a combo pencil/fountain pen in an amethyst color, the third is beige and the last one looks like a partial desk pen with a white handle and a silver nib holder. I am hopeful the helpful pen lovers here will help me sort things out once they arrive.

 

Ebay is rightfully dubbed "Evil-bay". I really don't need another hobby. ;-) Pen restoration here I come!

[mhguda]

OK I will admit it. Four Deccans, two of which have actually been shipped: Advocate jr and Author. Still awaiting word about the Bullet sr and flattopped Advocate sr that have been ordered... quite some time ago.

[FayeV]

I'm waiting on a Rohrer & Klingner glass dip pen which may arrive tomorrow. This will be my very first glass dip pen. I'm looking forward to using this to play with samples.

 

Then a Lamy Vista next week, which will be my very first demonstrator. I haven't yet decided what to ink it up with. This will also be my first Lamy EF nib; I already have a Safari with F nib.

 

And then last night, I ordered a Lamy Al-Star in purple ... because I like purple and this one looks so pretty in all the photos I've seen. I wish I could find a Lamy Safari in a matte finish purple (kinda like their matte Charcoal Safari).

Clicked confirm on an Italix Parsons Essential from Mr Pen.

Blue with a fine CI.

 

Giddy.

Something called an FS-56 from Germany. Looks like a Pelikan, but with a hooded nib. Sole bidder on a well-known auction site, so it was, pardon me, dirt cheap.

Actually it just arrived. A 1948 Parker 51 in India Black. It is my first Vacumatic!

Delta Dolce Vita piston filler with a fine nib. I've had a Soiree and a Passion and have let them go, but my Dolce Vita rollerball has been my favorite and will now have a mate!

Actually it just arrived. A 1948 Parker 51 in India Black. It is my first Vacumatic!

Use it in good health!

WOW!

[_Stormin_]

Nothing to exciting, but I have a Lamy Vista that should be arriving today. I say should because the UPS tracking has it a little ways from home and normally my UPS guy is here less than two hours from now. Not holding my breath on this one making it here today.

[DBQMary]

Just ordered what I hope to be my grail pen - a MB Agatha Christie.

 

I hope the Mississippi drops soon so I can get back on the river and away from all this temptation.
