My black Webster is supposed to be on its way back from Mike-It-Work. I'm so excited--it's one of my favorite pens!

I am currently waiting for a restored black Sheaffer Lifetime Sentinel touchdown pen and pencil set fine nib, a restored black Sheaffer Valiant touchdown pen medium nib and an unrestored green Sheaffer Sentinel touchdown pen with a ? nib. I went overboard on touchdowns and it is not even football season.

Just ordered a red Pelikan m800 with the italic broad nib and a spare fine nib from Richard Binder

Great idea! You aren't just riding the fence, you are fully on both sides! I think you'll love it. Of course, I would have only gotten the IB or a BB stub nib, but that's just because I can't make a F nib look like anything other than hen scratching.

I'm in for a long wait - just sent my MB146 off to Mike-It-Work. So, I'm waiting for it to get there, find its place in his 12-week-queue, and then make it's way back here. I'm hoping I'll have it by Halloween?

 

Sheesh.

many needs, many nibs.

The pelikan F nibs are not that narrow, especially on bad paper. I have another bird with an M nib.

One nib will be for writing out notes for teaching. The other nib will be for letter writing.

Got this for (I think) a steal on eBay. Can't wait.

Waiting on a 60's Montblanc 24 and a (I think, but am not sure completely on the year) 1946 Burgundy Parker Vacumatic.

The Highlander was a documentary, and the events happened in real time.

I'm waiting on, in the order that I ordered them;

 

1) Lamy Dialog 3, palladium, fine nib

2) Monblanc 22, medium nib (ebay buy)

3) Lamy Safari in Apple Green, medium nib

4) Lamy 2000, medium nib

 

I think maybe I have very quickly developed a problem since discovering this hobby recently :)

ooopsie, decided to get the matching m800 pencil for that red IB.

Need I say that our friend in Nashua is adding it to my order, and giving me a good price?

I guess I'll just have to pack a lunch for a couple of weeks.

Visconti Arte Mudejar with palladium stub. USPS's estimated arrival is Monday, 9 July.

 

The last two pens (different pens) I bought were big disappointments (and went back)...hoping this is not.

Nothing! And I have no bid outstanding on eBay, either! Am I breaking my habit?

      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
