If you are talking truly a dream pen I have to say the Black Widow 88. As an alternative I think the Skeleton 333(with accompanying watch).

One of those old lapis lazuli pens. I had one in my hands on Friday at Ohio. With a nice nib, of course.

A skeleton 333 for a real pen tht actually exists.

 

A dream pen would be an all silver/platinum plated 149.

 

Even a black 149 with Platinum trim would be a dream pen (with MOP star of course) - I have actually seen one of these but the maker refuses to make another for legal reasons.

Well, it's like this. For flex, EF very flexible is the way to go, and the only way to get it is with vintage. However, with broad italic writing, vintage or modern will do, since the temper of the nib has less to do with broad writing. Therefore, if I am going to get one of these old blue beauties, it should have an EF nib with plenty of real flex!

I would say a Jules Verne would be my MB dream pen. Nothing like the blue.

I distinguish between pens I have seen in person and pens I have only seen in pictures.

 

Among the pens I have held, it would be the Skeleton 333.

 

Based on pictures, I would also consider the Black Widow and Harrison.

A big vintage Rouge et Noir would be nice, but I am quite happy with the few MB's I have.

Filling a fountain pen is much more fun than changing a printer cartridge

Mine would be a vintage 128PL. You don't see them offered for sale that often. One has just come up for auction on eBay, but I have blown my pen budget for the next two months :-(.

The Hemingway. I'll certainly never afford one. But I can always dream, I guess...

"Here was a man who had said, with his wan smile, that once he realized that he would never be a protagonist, he decided to become, instead, an intelligent spectator, for there was no point in writing without serious motivation." - Casaubon referring to Belbo, Foucault's Pendulum.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
