What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[majorworks]

Won an auction today for two vintage Kaweco pens, neither of which are Sports.

[majorworks]

My blue P51 Special, Sheaffer Snorkel and Sheaffer Vac Fill should arrive tomorrow from Ron Zorn. Can't wait to get them back!

 

Ah, so *that's* what Mr. Z has been doing instead of rehabbing my P51 aero.

Good for you!

[Chthulhu]

I ... I'm not waiting for any pens ... I feel so dirty ...

Helloooo fellow pen hounds.....

 

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

(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 have a Levenger 'Plumpster on a Diet' (from Levenger Outlet) plus a Pelikan M200 (from Swisher) coming.

I finally got 3 receipts for 3 items I may have gotten from FPN members, or bought from ebay. Either way, am going to go to the post office to pick up said packages tomorrow, I can't wait <3

 

I hope nothing got tampered with. :'(

Congratulations and welcome to the board.

Naw! He's been done with mine for a while. I was just now able to afford to get them back. ::: shakes fist at economy :::

A red Esterbrook LJ I bought on the FPN marketplace (my first Estie and my first FPN purchase). I have a 2314M and a 9314F nib waiting for it.

 

And a Levenger Truewriter Kyoto, which originally shipped with an F-marked nib that wrote an M line. (I had another F Truewriter to compare it to.) Hopefully everything will be right this time--it's such a lovely pen.

 

 

The Esterbrook arrived today, and it's utterly gorgeous.

[zenhikester]

Have ANOTHER Esterbrook on the way- a black SJ.

[Lachesis]

Hero Demonstrators, and a Pilot VP, from Sailor Kenshin and Rotombees.

 

I fear that they're lost in the customs office.

 

Patience is a virtue, and it's only been three weeks...or four... so...I pretty much have to work on my virtues. XD

I checked my records; they were sent Aug 22---and last year something I sent to the Philippines took two, three weeks.

 

Hope they arrive soon!

 

After a pen-purchase moratorium of months and months, I was 'waiting for' a Pilot 78G with stub nib and a Pilot Calligraphy pen with a WEIRD nib (can't resist). Do we sense a theme here???

 

Thanks Kenshin<3 I hope so, too. Can't wait to welcome them into my home <3

 

It's certainly a high-flying theme. Pilots...*crickets chirp*

 

Oh, why weird?

The Pilot Parallel Calligraphy Pen doesn't really have a 'nib' but a flat piece of metal that can be writte with two ways. It's pretty cool actually:

 

Click on the pen to see closer views.

 

What I want to know is why you're not supposed to use those carts in any other pens.

 

Oh, it is pretty cool...I don't know, actually. When my parents bought my Prera, the instruction manual said "don't use anything other than Pilot ink", but I've been using Quink Permanent Black (with solv-x) in it with no problems, though I haven't tried inserting the cartridge into another pen, because it won't fit

 

Maybe the other members can give answers.

 

Anyway, I'll be picking up the 3 packages that arrived in the mail (it states envelopes on the receipts, so I seriously hope they haven't been tampered with, although I think no one would dare steal some pens and ink.)

My second vintage Conway Stewart 58 is on the way across the pond ... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can wait until next week...

[offbase]

Visconti black & silver Camelot. Ooooh, I'm a bad boy ...

So you're the one...

[Pen2009]

Where is a recession? Many FPN members are opening their wallets (or purses) freely to buy lots of pens.

[Lachesis]

Kenshin's pens finally arrived So happy...but the black Unnamed One refused to give up its nib, and the barrel ate up the converter. D8 So I stuck it in my drawer for now.

 

<3 The note and the pen case!

 

The ink I ordered from Caligula arrived too

 

As well as the Pilot 55 FP I bought on ebay!

 

It's like Christmas in September for me! xD

GP, couldn't help it, I've been bugging poor Bryant for one for months, and looking for years. Lucky I tuned in just before the plumber broke my pipes this afternoon ...

 

P-2009, trust me, there's a rescession. I can't even sell a minty piston-filled Etruria for $304 shipped. After 2 years of bad times myself, I'm just starting to be able to rebuild my collection a bit after having had to sell most of it to pay bills (and hoping things don't get bad again). I've seen several members sell huge chunks of their collections en masse, in this bad market obviously because they need the money. Hopefully, we'll all pull out of this soon.

A Pilot Prera F for drawing. I wanted a Pelikan, but need to economize at this point. I almost got another 78G, but wanted a little better quality barrel/cap.

Knew it was going to a good home And the plumber arrives here tomorrow. Must be something in the water? [bad pun alert]
