Recommended Posts

It's time for this Yank to come home. 1945(made in USA) Parker Striped Duofold coming from the UK. (Hope it's not in the pile at Heathrow).When it arrives,I'm breaking out the scrumpy and we'll all start singing,"It's a long way to Tipperary..." Cheers,Johnny

An Esterbrook Flo-Master Felt marker. Hey, I'll never use it but if I want a complete Esterbrook collection you buy them all.

Now that is a pen I would never ink, as felt tips wear out with use.

 

Unless you have spare felt tips, of course...

Sigh. Someone is influencing me deviously by saying, "Oh here, try this, it's a Parker 100, medium nib...."

 

So I tried it, "humoring" him.

 

Wow.

 

I use extra-fine and fine nibs only, but the medium was so smooth that I've now ordered a Parker 100 (F). Also, a Sapporo Mini.

 

Maybe two.

 

 

I can't say I really mind being persuaded....

Black Pelikan M800 with 14C 3B nib. It's the nib that hooked me. I already have five M800s and three M805s. Half of them have 14C nibs. The 14C nibs are becoming hard to find.

Helloooo fellow pen hounds..... :happyberet:

 

I have just ordered a Sailor Sapporo F nib with gold trim. I don't reckon it will arrive till next week though...... :crybaby:

(I've already got a Professional Gear with B nib)

 

For what pen(s) are you waiting, in the mail? And are you waiting patiently lol....

 

I won a Jinhao pen on eBay. I am waiting for it to come in from China. *sigh* Probably another 10 days.

Alas,no Parker from England today.Anybody in USA had experience with Royal Mail International Airmail from UK? How long did it take to get your pen? Did it have to go through customs? I spent 2 hours this morning having an MRI(like having a front row seat at a bad heavy metal concert) and focused on the striped Duofold I KNEW was waiting for me at the Post Office.(Man,I SAW the Blue Diamond!)All is delusion.
