A sheaffer Snorkel I picked up on the 'bay for $50 plus $12 for shipping.

 

dunno if I overpaid, but it looks like a nice one. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261105070150?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

There's a black Omas 360 with a custom CI nib from John Mottishaw sitting in Canada Customs right now waiting to be released, arriving to me a few days after. I hope.

For what pen(s) are you waiting, in the mail? And are you waiting patiently lol....

 

A Parker 51 Flighter should be waiting for me when I get home from work today. Somehow, I've ended up with eight or nine 51s, but this will be the first time that I've owned a Flighter trim 51. Looking forward to this one...

2 Jinhao X750s (white with silver colored trim) with Broad nibs. I'm going to grind one (both if I screw up the first one) to a stub italic. For $15 shipped, I won't be too disappointed if this goes horribly wrong. I think it'll be alright, though.

I am expecting a LAMY Al-Star purple with fine nib in time for International Fountain Pen day.

That is new pen for the unofficial holiday.

Woo Hoo.

I'm going to fill it with Noodler's Rome Burning.

A burgundy Sheaffer PFM III FP/Pencil set, a NOS Parker "51" 1950s aerometric FP/LL pencil set, and a 1960s Parker "51" Special that looks like it might have a gold nib. Can't wait! :bunny01:

Oh, dear, pen envy sets in. :puddle:

 

I have a Black Esterbook with the Fort Wayne Schools imprint and an unknown "Atomic" pen set on the way, all via Ebay. Should keep me busy for a bit.

 

EDIT: Just noticed, three Michiganders posting in a row!

I have a handful of Snorkels and that price seems fair, based on what I've paid for mine over the last few years. I paid a similar amount for my black/gold Statesman ($50, including cost of restoration, which was a great deal IMO).

Hello fellow FPN'ers. New guy on the block and thought I'd chime in was well. Have a MB 244 and a Waterman 52 on the way. Thinking about adding a Serwex or two to that list. Oh forgot I added 2 more Pilot 78G's as well since I really like the matte brushed look I did to the current one I own.

Enjoy life, and keep on writing!

A black Pelikan M200 with gold trim. It doesn't seem particularly exciting, except for the XF full-flex 14k nib by Mr Binder. :puddle: I also have 300 sheets of ivory of G. Lalo Verge de France paper incoming with 75 of accompanying envelopes and 4 bottles of J. Herbin's Lie de The!

      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
