What Pens Are You Using Today?

[HBlaine]

No major change from yesterday, save to throw my Bexley Submariner Grande (with PR Lake Placid Blue) into the mix.

 

Five pens in the pocket is getting a bit heavy. Going to have to do some pruning. But I like all of these pens too much!

Thanks to info from Jszh:

 

I have a no name black and gold cracked ice, that very much resembles a Geha, of @1960. It had either a maxi-semi-flex or a flexible nib, with a lion's head and #57 on it.

 

I now have a no name with a Rupp nib and that is a horse of a different color.

 

I can not use it, in it needs nib work. How ever it has moved up in the list of send off for repair....after all it has a very good nib.

I dipped it, and need to use better paper, but am now convinced, it is a flexible nib. Every once in a while it makes one of those fancy flexy, marks.

Sigh; now I really got to get busy and learn to write. :blink:

 

From Jszh

 

 

Peter Rupp founded a factory for gold nibs in Heidelberg after the first bankruptcy of Kaweco in 1929. Also Rupp belonged to the group of apprentices that were skilled by Morton. The nibs, carrying the printing of a lions head, were produced until 1975. Then Reform bought the Rupp company.

for the rest of this week, my newly serviced PFM III inked with BSB.

Today I am having a vintage Waterman's day. I'm currently using a heavily discoloured 52 with a semi flex nib and J Herbins Lie de The.

 

Another 52 (in quite good condition) with a jolly flexible nib and Herbins Violette Pensee.

 

And finally my little Waterman's Junior, with another no2 semi flex nib and filled with Herbins rose scented Rouge Opera.

 

 

Toodle-oo!

Changed things 'round a bit:

 

Parker 65 Signet w/Waterman Florida Blue

 

Visconti Ragtime III w/Noodler's Legal Lapis

 

Pilot 78G (broad/stub!) w/Sheaffer Green

 

Haolilai gold CEO with Noodler's Tiananmen

 

And, of course, the Visconti Wall Street w/Noodlers Ottoman Azure.

 

The Wall Street became the sole pen this evening, and is the pen I've been jotting notes with as I go over information requests for tomorrow.

This morning I filled my Parker Deluxe Challenger with Noodler's Green Marine (Semper Fi). I purchased it last year at the Dallas Pen Show from Tim Pierson. It is a lovely pen I think; the same size as an Esterbrook J. It is a button filler, and I'd say the nib writes XF-F semi-flex. I love using it!

For the first day of July, I did some minor switching:

 

Bexley Submariner Grande w/PR Lake Placid

 

Bexley Gemstone w/Noodlers Cayenne

 

Filcao Silvia w/Herbin Vert Empire

 

Bexley Poseidon w/Noodlers Air Corp Blue Black

 

I forced myself to leave the V. Wall Street in the case today.

 

This evening, it looks like it's going to be the Delta Dolce Vita Med (Herbin Eclat de Saphir) and the Filcao Columbus (Noodlers Navajo Turquoise).

 

Good mix to start the month!
