Stipula Saturno -- green woodgrain ebonite, silver trim, crescent filler and 1.1 stub nib which I've just adjusted myself! Writes so nicely; this is immensely satisfying!

So, today I'm back to work.

 

I just can't stop using my two new Auroras: a yellow Ipsilon <M> filled with PS Sonic Blue and a Burgundy Optima <B> filled with Visconti Black.

 

They are niiiice!!

I regularly use an Aurora fountain pen. It's probably 15 years old and it writes as if it were new. I have yet to find anything smoother.

 

Recently, I found a second Aurora fountain pen -- an "88" R, 802, that I received about 12 or 13 years ago as an award. I never used it, put it in my drawer where it has remained. Can anyone tell me anything about it? The box says, "precious gold plated version. Solid gold nib."

 

Is/was this a limited edition? Is it collectible and might anyone have an idea of what it might be worth???

 

Thx.

 

 

Well, I recieved a few pens in the mail this weekend and a few from repair and also I work on a few:

 

Stipula Saturno Olive Woodgrain color W/1.1 Stub Nib

Aurora Optima Burgandy Red W/Broad nib (I worked on this nib for a few hours on Saturday) It was once a toothy nib now it is a smooth Juicy Broad nib!!! Patience and persistance Pays off!!

Lamy 2000 W/Broad Nib Thanks Kurt!! This is a fantastic Pen with a wonderfully smooth nib. Why did I wait so long to buy a Lamy 2000?

Visconti Copernicus Black&Blue celluloid striped W/Medium nib

Stipula Etruria Ocean Blue W/1.3 Stub Nib

Mostly using my new copper colored $33 Danitrio from winedoc. Got it on Friday (thanks Kevin, sorry, should have let you know sooner) Inked it today at work. Nice smooth medium/fine nib, just like my other Danis except for the one I had Dillo turn into an F. Love it. Now I have to sell my black crosshatch pattern $33 pen I got from winedoc, which I don't care for because I don't like the pattern particularly, and my wife gives me that "What? Another pen?" look until I explain I am selling one to pay for it, because it is replacing the one I am selling. Anyone want a crosshatch $33 pen? I can take poor photos if you wish.

Donnie, your post about $33 pen was 3333th post in this thread!

 

I just used Platinum Preppy with BSB today so far. Will be doing some writing tonight with NN Old Timer with Pilot Shou-ro, and NN stainless steel with FPN Van Gogh. Probably will use Ujuku pen with Fla Blue again, too.

World's longest thread?

 

Today, or rather this week, I'm using two Pilot Petit 1s---one brown, one azure, and I just opened up a Preppy in blue after the awful experience of my yellow Preppy. The blue is way much lots better. I'm also writing with one of those fi-dolla Stypens, with PR American Blue ink (really nice ink, must get other colors).

 

There's also a Pelikano that's just about written out, and, standing by, my Sailor callig model filled with a custom blue ink, and a deep evergreen Hero with ink to match.

I just picked up an Aikin Lambert BCHR and I've been using that all day. It's slightly flexi and took a little getting used to, but it's a very nice writer.

I started a business trip in US. Loaded in my bag are:

- Aurora Optima w/Pelikan Royal Blue (ehi! the flow improved a lot!)

- Sailor 1911M w/Sailor Black... juicy

- Pilot Vortex w/Quink red. Disappointing! it leaked a lot during the flight...

 

Ciao,

[SteveH]

Since I received my Black P51 Aero F nib (Blue Quink), I haven't used any other pen.

I've since bought a P51 M nib, but the F nib is sublime.
