What Pens Are You Using Today?

[jimg]

Today I have on the desk at work:

 

Tibaldi Modello 60 with an EF nib received with joy earlier this week from a very nice FPNer

 

MB149 with a 1960s flexy fine nib retrofittted to a modern "rest of the pen".

 

Both brimming with Blue Parker Quink, my "safety" ink.

 

 

At home on the desk I have a recently received Edison Herald in Red/Black which I am really trying to love. I mean, it looks fabulous but has a bit of an unpredictable stop/start/gap writing thing going.

 

I have tried it for the last few nights with a variety of inks and papers and it is still playing tricks.

Today, a Hero 616, filled with a dark olive ink that I'm trying to write out and fill with something a bit brighter.

Today I used both of my Waterman Edsons: a Diamond Black with medium nib and Noodler's Ottoman Azure ink and a Sterling Silver LE with fine nib and Pelikan Koenigsblau ink.

I only have one fountain pen (right now, I sense an impending addiction however). It's a Mont Blanc Starwalker. Love it to death. I also write with a ball point, Mont Blanc Noblesse Oblige. Another nice little pen.

 

Already thinking about another one though, especially since I've been writing a lot more recently.

Today will be an OS Sheaffer Balance lf in Black w/M nib filled with my utility blue - an unscientific mix of vintage Osmiroid Blue and Scrip Peacock Blue. And a Parker "51" Aerometric, gf converging lines cap and forest green barrel w/M nib filled with Pelikan Brilliant Black.

[penburg]

Today is a pen I received in the mail yesterday... a wonderful writer, black Sheaffer standard Balance (1935-45) with smooth medium nib, filled with Skrip blue/black.
