What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[jonro]

I'm waiting for 3 from the "Bay," a black Parker 51 Special, a gray aerometric Parker 51 and a dark green 21 Super. The 51 Special should arrive this week, the other two next week. Can't wait.

I'm waiting on a Waterman Carene, the Amethyst Bronze color, w/ a F nib. Have been wanting a Carene almost as soon as I got into this hobby, and I was able to win this one on eBay for a really good price. I plan on filling it w/ Stipula Sepia ink.

An old and a new Waterman's

 

The old - an oversize 100 year pen with semi flex '18' nib.

 

The new - a Diamond Black Edson with fine nib.

 

the Edson will be my first modern Waterman's since I acquired a Man 100 with a medium nib in about 1997.It is still one of my favourites

 

I can't wait to try the Edson.

Mai pens---I haz dems!

 

Want to see?

 

 

These are some kawaii things from Jetpens, mostly different colored Pilot Petits and a couple of Preppy pens with cool Japanese writing on them, about five characters of which I can read:

And I found this at the first garage sale of the season. The pen has no cap (no wonder the instructions warn you the cart will dry out) but the carts seem to be standard internationals in good shape:

I just ordered a Cartier Pasha Platinum Plate and two bottles of Noodlers Bullet Proof black from World Lux in seattle. The wait begins!

[rogerb]

........and a Burgundy Sailor 1911 with Zoom nib (also from a FPNer)...can't wait to play with that

 

rogerb - I hope you get that soon, it sounds great

 

Well, it arrived today, along with my Bexley 10th Anniversary Lime with broad stub.

 

The Sailor is a bit of a disappointment....I cannot get it to write any way much different from Broad....very smooth and a pretty nib...just Broad! Changing writing angles is fiddly and not, apparently, very effective.

well, I didn't have a Broad nibbed pen!!(apart from the stubs).

A very nicely-finished pen.

 

The Bexley is a nice handful, but looks a bit cheap, IMO, the shiny silvery trim especially...apart from that lovely big, wet Bexley stub nib.

That takes a bit of getting used-to, because it is wide, and also surprisingly flexible.

It's now loaded with Diamine Monaco Red, the exact colour of the red-brown swirls in the green resin

 

Two down, three to go!(Delta DVOS, Delta Alfa Giulietta, Black Parker Duofold Intl.)

I'm new to this great site. I've always had a pen and pencil fetish being an artist, but I never realized that so many had the same addiction hehe. Thanks to wealth of information available on this site, I've bought my first two fountain pens and awaiting shipment. First one is an EF black Parker 51 Aerometric and the second is a brand new fine nibbed Namiki Sterling Dragon. No more doc signing with freebie pens from title companies heh.
