Rediscovered a Cross Townsend Tango (XF) on the weekend that I forgot I had. Just filled it with Diamine Sapphire Blue for a quick scribble.

All vintage for me today, and mostly from the 1920s.

 

I wrote in my journal this morning with my c. 1927 Sheaffer Flat Top, filled with Hero Blue.

 

Wrote a letter to my son using a 1950s Geha Schulfuller, filled with a Pelikan Turquoise/Private Reserve Sherwood Green mix.

 

The rest of the day's writing was done with two Parker Duofold Jr. pens. I resacced a c. 1926 model, and filled it with Waterman Florida Blue. I also did some work with its c. 1928 sibling, filled with Waterman Blue Black.

 

Interesting that both the Sheaffer and Geha are solid black pens, and the two Duofolds are cardinal red. I did not consciously select them that way, I just like the way they write!

I have been carrying the same three FPs all week: a MB Noblesse, a Lamy 2000, and a Lamy Studio. Each one holds a different type of blue ink. I will switch it up and use others next week. :)

Nervous? No, I'm just thinking...
