And still waiting for my Pelikan from Malaysia. In addition, I can add a Pilot Custom 74 Demonstrator and a Parker Major Vacumatic to the list.

PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

I just ended up winning an ebay auction for a blue Parker 21 Super. So between that and the ink I ordered from the Goulets, it's going to be an exciting mail week! :thumbup:

Is it any surprise that a fountain pen fancier is also an admirer of old cars? Being both, myself, I decided one day to order a custom-made pen to match my old '55 Cadillac. So I contacted Shawn Newton ("Watch_Art" on this site) about doing it. I had a design in mind, and Shawn (also an admirer of old cars) agreed to do it. So that's what I'm waiting for... my "Cadillac Pen." Should be about six weeks... Oh, what a looong six weeks it will be!

Waiting for a Waterford Kilbary Emerald that should arrive tomorrow. When it gets here, I plan to ink it with Noodler's Zhivago. A great way to end the year.

I'm waiting for a couple of handmade Ratnam pens in ebonite - a Ratnam Supreme, a Ratnam 302, and a Ratnam SS. They're still a few weeks away. For all I know, they may not yet have been made, or may be half-ready as I write this now.

I just won a grey NOS Parker 45 on ebay this morning, so that'll be in the mail this week.

 

I also ordered a bottle of Noodler's Walnut for myself...and a Pilot Metropolitan and a few samples (Noodler's Green Marine and Habenero, and Diamine Ancient Copper) for my partner, who has been getting jealous of all my exciting pen and ink adventures. :thumbup:

 

It's going to be another exciting week for mail!

I'm waiting for a pilot metropolitan, a couple of notebooks, and some ink samples from the Goulets. I'm also waiting (anxiously!) for my Pilot VP from Richard Binder. A Binderized VP has been on my list for 2 or 3 years now, and I can't even describe the excitement!

Well after a couple folks here sang the praises of the Waterman Taperite I saw one unrestored on Ebay and snagged it. My first real FP was a Waterman and I've strayed from the brand so it felt right. Looks to be an easy restore from the photos.

Are mechanical pencils allowed? If so I'm waiting for my Rotring Rapid Pro 0.7mm pencil in black. The 2B leads I ordered have already arrived...so I'm on tenterhooks.

I've finally decided to splurge and get myself one of the new Noodler's ebonite Konrads. Decided to go with the yellow-brown (rather than the chestnut brown). USPS says I should expect it tomorrow.

      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
