Inked this one up for the holidays with a nice dark green ink mix. Santa has a lot of letters to return!

Wow, what a gorgeous pen!

 

For me today, 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.

Just signed some Holiday card with my Sonnet on medium nib with black Quink

Have a Happy New Year Everybody.

 

Great pen! I always like Sonnets! They can take about a 1.6mm retip and still have a generous ink flow.

 

Get rid of the watch though; For what that Submariner is worth, you can get a lot of great pens!

I have one of the 1990's International sized 18K two tone arrow nib in "M". It was always a balky, dry writer 'till Mike-it-Work reground it to between F and EF and improved the flow. Still a bit balky 'till JB Perfect Pen Flush turned it into a perfect writer. BTW it's one of those hard to find Sunset Orsnge modern Big Reds. Really enjoying it this morning - even on Moleskine.

I rotate my pens "at work" by half year.

After a couple of years I decide to use my Mosaic's again.

They feel a little small, cause I normalily use the Centennial sizes.

But what a good pens are the Duofolds....

Tonight is a near-perfect Q1 1948 demonstrator with a perfect brushed steel cap and the tightest clip I've had in quite some time.

 

It likes Aurora black, and is huge fun to watch filling!

This one. (It's beside my late Granny's antique shot glass that I use to soak pen parts in.)

It's a UK pen that's still all in pieces, some needing to sonicate yet. I got the hood and barrel all polished this evening so they are ready to go. It had some widespread surface scratches and only 2 characters of an imprint left. It was the first time I've ever polished off any part of an imprint. :( It's like a piece of onyx now though. :meow:

 

I don't really have any need or desire for a black Aero (this came in a 2 pen deal with the Rolled Silver cap Brit Burgundy) so I suspect it will go to some hopefully new 1st time 51 owner when I'm done with it.

UK made Q4 2000 Blue Ellipse with Waterman's South Sea Blue, and my undated, French silver plated godron pattern P75 with Noodler's golden brown... my 1981 P105 from Speerbob only just arrived and is not inked yet.

I just cleaned and inked (with PR Dakota Red) a 1951 red Parkette that I scored for a song at an auction ($1.80 US). Looks like there's finally a vintage pen in my daily rotation...

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
