A simple silver YOL pen, I should be cherishing this pen because not many were made and no more to be made, its just a very easy pen to use, international cartridges and super smooth.

Inked this one up when I got up at 5:30 for a work meeting. No writing sample yet, but so far, this is a wonderfully comfortable pen. It's a little wet, and I think that the nib may have to be adjusted a little more. It's a little on the wet side, and the gap in the tines is a little wide at the breather hole.

I've been busy lately, and not just at work. The LA Pen Show must have been a mother lode of outstanding pens and I wish I could have attended, though my wallet has since thanked me for my absence.

 

Here are the pens I currently have inked, ranging in vintage from 1910s to 2012:

Classic Pens Legend LM1

Stipula Etruria Cracked Ice Revival

Waterman's 24 BCHR taper cap

Sheaffer Imperial 834

Sailor Naginata Togi Ribbed

Wahl-Eversharp Doric

Sheaffer OS Flattop

 

You might notice the turning knob is open on the MB - I was checking to see if it had any ink left. The spot of MB Carlo Collodi ink on my pants verifies that yes, there does remain some ink in that pen :huh:

It is indeed a major exception -- the trigger got pulled because prices are rising rapidly, it's been on my Want list for a long time, and the stars aligned. Almost all of my 45-pen collection are pens that arrived in unrestored condition, either with the intent to sell (as they say in other addictions) but which found slots in my pen case or having been a "want" for which I waited until I found one at the right unrestored condition and price. And yes, even though I now have the 75, your 100 Year Waterman is still on the Want list. This guy needed nothing but a flush and a quick nib tuning.

Tim,

 

That is a great looking pen, I have always wanted a Parker 75 sterling silver as well for my "want" list not my "need" list. I am sure I did not "need" all the new pens I found at the LA Show. Especially the Omega Gigant, Waterman 94 Blue Ripple set, etc. My name is Troy I am a penaholic.

      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
