What Pen Did You Get Today?

[southpaw]

Oh Deirdre those are beautiful pens. How do you manage to find all these rare pens? Oh wait, if you tell we'll all be able to find them . Enjoy!

Yeah, I'm keeping my trap shut for now.

 

Heh, I don't blame you.

 

 

Speak for yourself. I DO!

[Deirdre]

A Wearever. I don't know a thing about them, but for $9.99 restored, it is definitely one of the better bargains I've found on eBay.

I have one from Dennis Lively that is truly a joy to use.

I just bought a Pilot M90 fountain pen---its all stainless including the nib assembly and is very compact. Writes quite well--very wet but a stiff nib.

[publius]

A Sheaffer's Touchdown deskset with white dot & serial-numbered Triumph nib. I'm going to try to fix the filler mechanism myself.

Slate Grey VP , Rhodium trim....Filled it with a sample of Kiri - Same

Got four boxed Lamy Al Star from a closed Store leftover. all of them for 25€!

 

Great bargain.

 

Ciao,

Got two Pilot Birdies for $17 incl shipping - one for me, one for a good friend who is just getting into FPs. These babies are so cute (and tiny, purse sized) I couldn't resist. And, of course, they have that great Pilot quality too.

A used Sailor Sapporo Mini in red.

 

Dad took me to Artlite and told me to pick something out. I went with used because I felt too guilty to make him pay full price. *I am in love with this pen.*

Assure Blue Pearl Vacumatic 1945 in beautiful condition from a little antique store in Virginia City NV. Came with box, instructions and a note saying who it was given to and who gave it.

2 Pilot 78G pens (M & B nibs) from Honk Kong, and a Sheaffer Calligraphy pen in trade from another member of the forum, oh, and mini-cartridges for the Waterman Lady Agathe. Christmas in May!

My new gold-filled Wahl Eversharp fountain pen!

 

Thanks to PenManilla for helping me figure out how to open this pen and get into the guts of it to replace the sac. Sac is since replaced and the pen is reassembled.

 

How old is this pen? It looks 1920s.

I found three pens at an Antique Mall today: an Ambassador (vest pocket size with a clear ink view in the section), a green and white marbled Wearever, and marbled olive Chatham.

Well, it was almost a week ago... I forgot to bump this thread accordingly.

 

I took delivery of a Pilot Custom 845. It was one of those things where you place a bid that's on the low end and expect you'll probably never get it... and then you do. It broke my pen budget, so I had to sell a pen (and another in the works). But oh, was it worth it. This is a great pen!

Yesterday I received the most beautiful pen in my collection, a Tibaldi Iride (pen/pencil set) LE.

It had been uninked but just screamed to me to be written with, so I fed it some Italian ink....Aurora Black...and WOW! The fine nib lays-down a lovely wet fine-medium line.

 

It's been reviewed a few times, but I feel an 'update' coming on

[tt32003]

Bought a blue Waterman Maestro.

Also bought a used Sailor 1911m rollerball. It fits my Sailor Sapporo section perfectly. So now I can interchange for a Sapporo or a 1911

Back from a small weekend holiday I found in the mail 2 Pelikans snatched on the bay: an M200 red demo and an M200 old style. Actually the OS has two cap band but a gold plated nib, so probably it is a frankepen.

 

diplo,

Picked up this blue Parker 21 (mark II) from a favorite antique store I visit. Adjusted tines, smoothed nib, good cleaning & polishing... writes beautifully!
