What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Bill Smith]

Today's pen is a black Aerometric Parker 51 with lusterloy cap loaded with Noodlers Polar Blue.

I wrote out my Hero Demonstrator with its Diamine Woodland Green, but I still wanted green ink, so I opened another of my fi-dolla Stypens (this one is a shortie, with a mostly yellow-and-black finish) and put in a cart of PR Supershow Green. That way if it gunks up the pen, well, it was a cheap pen, and soakage will likely fix it.

 

I STILL can't get it to write without a dip in other ink!

Today its still the Platinum 3776 Stone/Stonewall celluloid w/med. nib

 

An Ancora Perla in yellow with vermeil furniture 19/25 with a Bexley fine nib. Some would call this a Frankepen, but nib substitutions have not been that rare throughout the history of fountain pens. I received the pen from an ebay seller with bent tines and was never able to get the nib to perform well. I purchased one of Brian Gray's last Bexley nibs to rescue a great looking pen that had languished in a box and was destined to be sold at a fire sale price. It is now a joy to write with and the Bexley nib does not look out of place.

 

And a Waterman Liason orange ebonite with fine nib.

• a French-made Edacoto from the mid-30s, fine flex nib, beautiful in itself, and a great writer. It seems it may become one of my favourite writers. Somewhat Moleskine friendly. Currently inked with Parker Quink Black. Don't know for the future, maybe Herbin Cacao du Brésil.
• the Black Esterbrook J I received yesterday. A great writer.
• Esterbrook Dollar Pen.

Continuing to use the same Edacoto as yesterday. Such a nice writer.

 

As well, an Onoto with a semi-flex nib.

 

French and English, side by side, in peace... so Canadian.

A Black 1954 English Parker Standard Duofold with a Jinhao nib and Forest Green Ink

[Deirdre]

Finally tried out my Waterman Carene and bonded with it. Yay.

 

Also used my early Ventidue and my Conway Stewart Knightsbridge.

[Shangas]

Yesterday: Parker Duofold.

Today: Conklin Crescent Filler.

Two are vying for attention. My Waterman's 55 from sdcurnow and my Montblanc 146G from niksch, both with fine flex. So, I just put different inks in them and all is good.

 

It's early here, and time to catch up with some letters at this quiet time.

Well, in the frog is my new Bexley BX701 Capuccino Swirl, my new 1911 Full Size Zoomer, and my Levenger Truewriter Metalist which came at half price because it was monogrammed -- with my actual first, middle, and last intitals.

Waterman Phileas

 

What an awesome pairing! I love both the Meisterstuck AND the Phileas line.

[McPete]

A newie for me, an Inoxcrom Wall Street. A little on the scratchy side so far, but quite passable.
