What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[RonLyke]

1946 Vacumatic and a 1942 Duofold vac fil on their way back from Pentiques. (Does the return of my own pens count?)

[cancoi]

Still awaiting my TWSBI Mini with at PB BLS fine...hoping it will arrive today!

[Flounder]

What I believe could well be a Parker 51 with an English rolled silver cap, and a giant Wing Sung 590.

 

Ah, sweet anticipation

[A144]

I've been on a buying spree lately. Just took possession of my first higher end Pilot, a CH91 SFM, and now I've got a TWSBI 580Al coming from Pendleton Brown with a Broad BLS nib. Can't wait!

Still waiting on my TWSBI...

[KenS]

I just ordered a Lamy 2000 XF.

While I was at it I ordered a vintage 14K B nib and a stainless F point, It'll be fun to see which shows up first, the pen or the extra nibs.

This may be for carry, in which case I should fill it with Swishers / Noodlers Verdun which is my usual signature color, OTOH, I'm feeling a lot like MB Irish Green which is a color I like a bunch. The third option is to fill it with Kon-Peki, which is my every day desk ink.

 

Decisions decisions decisions; I shoulda put up a poll ;-)

Conway-Stewart 57 (I'm a sucker for a gray pen)

Sheaffer Sovereign II (picking up later this week)

[F104]

I'm thinking there's a Franklin-Christoph Model 66 desk pen somewhere in time and space between its origin-point and my grubby little paws.

 

At least, I pushed the "go" buttton...and so far there have been no alarms or alerts...so I assume it will shortly be in the hands of a carrier, if it is not already.

[zchen]

Sheaffer Compact II and my second Visconti Van Gogh Maxi Vanilla.

[katerchen]

and a giant Wing Sung 590.

 

Ah, sweet anticipation

 

Heh. You made me impulse buy that one (according to tracking info it should be in town already)

 

That and a customized Mina from Brian Gray

[Cordovian]

A black trimmed Delta Profili.

A Jinhao 159 and X450 (Matte). I prefer matte finishes and I see myself using the X450 more on a day to day basis because of this but the 159 cost next to nothing so I though why not. I've heard the nibs that come with these pens are not really that great so a pair of black monte verde nibs from hisnibs.com are on their way also, one is a medium that is going on the X450 and the other is the 1.1 stub going on the 159.

[masterguns]

I'm also waiting on (another) Jinhao 159. It will be fitted with either a 1.1 or 1.5 stub. A thick, wet line seems most appropriate for the size of this pen.

Too many pens....has anyone been experiencing delays with US customs?

 

I had a pen in customs for 9 days a few weeks ago and now I have one that has been in customs for 11 days! I called the post office today and they said customs can take up to 45 days to clear a package.

 

It normally would take a couple of days.

[yogalarva]

Just ordered a Kaweco Al Sport in black today. I have had my eye on one for months and I'm very excited to get it. :-)

[mallymal1]

A woodgrain Conway Stewart 475 M.

[injesticate]

2 Esterbrooks: A Blue J with what may be at extra fine flexible nib, and one I believe is from the CX-100 family with a 9550 nib.

[aussielondon]

I ordered a replacement keyboard for my laptop online... does that count as a pen? (it does write )

45 days!!!!!! And I thought Aussie Customs is bad (well they are) but here in the UK where I live now I don't think they actually check anything coming in unless it has "TNT" or sticks of dynamite with a huge ticking clock on it with wires poking out everywhere... then I guess they may check it out

 

Seriously though, it's a PEN!!!!! Unless it's one of those James Bond pens that explode... seriously what takes 45 days for them to look at a pen!?!?

What are the customs officers doing most of the time... lunch break?

[them700project]

Just hit the submit button on a Pendelton BLS (M) black and rosegold TWSBI 580. Now to order a fall color ink and I will be done for the day. I think

 

Edit: Ok placed order for some clairfontaine triumph , Diamine oxblood and pelikan edelstein amber.
