Black GFT Omas Ogiva Guilloche with Sheaffer blue-black (thanks tburke0!)

 

Metallic blue Waterman Hemisphere with Waterman blue-black.

Great story on the Waterman today. I was using the waterman to write down fitting measurments on a woman I was doing a bicycle fit on. She saw the pen and turned to her husband and said, look dear he's using a fountain pen! And to think I made the poor woman fill out her name and address with a cheap disposable BIC!

Today I flew into Dallas from Detroit sporting my Black Parker 51 full (of course) of Waterman's Florida Blue, my Red Parker 21 full of Waterman's red (to match the barrell, of course) and my usual traveler, a Watermans Blue Marble Phileas Ball Point (how'd THAT get in there).

 

Both Parkers were slightly wet inside the caps but flew nicely. Just in case, I'll flush them out before I fly home from Jackson, MS.

 

I'll resurrect the striped Duofold and/or the red marbled Challenger Deluxe next week.

I'm usually toting my Pelikan 805, Broad nib, (currently loaded with PR Blue Suede but I might switch it out for PR Naples Blue) and a Lamy Safari, Broad nib with Noodler's Tiananmen Red for corrections.

 

I had a Namiki Vanishing Point, but my husband swiped it.

 

I hope to get it back someday. ..

What?

[Tara]

I'ts OK. Really.

 

My darling husband, sitting at the computer next to mine, has absconded with my Namiki VP.

 

I've ordered him a replacement, but due to complications with the incompitent vendor, it hasn't arrived just yet. And as he hasn't got a FP of his own, and I own four others (only two of which are currently working) he's hanging on to mine until he gets his.

 

I'm missing the Namiki, but the new Pelikan is helping to take my mind off it.
