What pen are you waiting for in the mail?


scratchy

Recommended Posts

My first vintage Waterman. And a 52 1/2 Ripple, no less!!

 

Not sure what I did wrong, however, I attached a picture of the pen which has yet to appear. Size-wise, it was about 18k!

I use tinypic - works well. Just paste in the code

Waiting for a few Chinese pens to play around with nibs.

 

One Waterman Carene.

 

One Montblanc 146 from the nineties.

 

And a gorgeous Platinum Izumi Urushi.

No signature. I'm boring that way.

I'm not sure where the blue ones are, the one I bought was an all black one on Amazon because I saw it listed for a good price there.

A lotta pens landed today...let me see. The Parker Imperial and the little gold Wahl, and the big Sheaffer are still out there. And a BHR eyedropper with a crunched nib that I got for $20.

My vacumatic came - it's a beautiful pen, but as I feared from the pictures it looks more grey than blue. Oh, well. Still a gorgeous pen.

Getting custom nibs continues to be my fountain pen "thing",...& I like broad edged nibs.

 

To this end, I've just ordered an 18K JoWo #6 (iridium tipped) factory stub.

Took me a while to hunt down a JoWo gold nib that has a wider grade than the usual B. This nib-set will fit a number of current North American-made pens that are threaded to receive JoWo nibs.

 

Un-branded, plain yet attractive, this nib (wider than a Pelikan BB) will be customized by John Mottishaw to become a smooth 1.1 stub.

The two/tone nib can be seen here at the bottom of this page: http://www.nibs.com/jowo-nibs.htm .

It arrived today. One to three months turned out to be one week.

A small lot of pens from the Bay of E, which buried down in the description mentions a Parker 51 among them -- unknown specifically what type yet. Y'all keep talking about them, time to find out for myself. I love the 21 desk pen I picked up, and everyone says the 51 is better. Also, two Sheaffers, an Estie, and three Wearevers. One of the Sheaffers has a clear blue body and should convert easily to a lovely ED.

I'm waiting on a Lamy Vista in XF, and also a left-handed nib for it. Shouldn't be too much longer.

 

I'm also EAGERLY waiting on a Romillo pen. It is done and should be shipping today. I expect that I won't see it for a month though, given how slow the mail system can be to get to here.

Alain, what is that please?

 

Yes it's the Sailor KOP. I got the ebonite version.

Thank you. I'm not familiar with Sailors and their presentation packaging.
