My most recent MB purchase was a MB Selection wallet. I enjoy it every day.

Pen wise, it's the gorgeous Voltaire, M, filled with Pelikan BB and in the rotation.

149 w/ fine nib from a Texas vendor at the recent DC show. I've only filled it with MB's new Irish Green. I'm going back and forth between it and my 146, trying to decide which heft and feel I really am most comfortable with in my hand. I think the 149 needs a nibmeister, though. Still feels slightly "off" after I've allowed for my not being used to fine nibs. :hmm1:

A sweet little 146 from the early 80's F 14K nib. Just needed a good flushing to get it back on its tines! Filled with MB Blue. Looks brand new and came with the box.

Another old 149, my fifth, with the intention of having the nib changed to OBB.

The photos of the Mark Twain and the Voltaire are gorgeous. Are the snowcaps on both pens ivory coloured? Exquisite pens and photographs.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Mdoering and Karmakoda. The white of the star on the Voltaire looks slightly off white compared to the bright snow white of a contemporary 146.

 

Brandon, perfect ink choice for the Wilde! There can be none other.

How come you guys keep the tags on the pen (nib size's)?

 

In case I flip the pen, I can still say everything is "complete". If you peel off the label, it's "incomplete" :roflmho:

I am so very jealous!

 

My last MB purchase was quite a while ago, and it was the Prince Regent. After that, I was pretty much all set for a while!

That distinction has always struck me as odd, because

. sometimes even pens from the MB boutique are missing a sticker, and

. I have seen some most definitely well-used pens with the crusty sticker still on them!

      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
