A little photo from today - three of my white (or near-white) Sailor Professional Gear pens!
From left:
- Snow White Sapporo Mini LE (14K EF)
- Ivory Sapporo (14K F)
- White & Pink Gold LE (21K rose gold F with rose gold trim).

Oh God! Those are very, very, verrrry nice!
The ivory colour particularly suits the shape of the Pro-Gear/Sapporo model, especially with the black section as a contrast.
What sort of LE was the White & Pink Gold?..

As far as I can gather, this "Pink Gold" is just a limited run of 100 (?), not sure of the reason, or who commissioned it. Information on some of these LEs is hard to come by...

There have been a few pure White Sailors...
2004 - The original "Snow White". White Profit model produced for a pen club in Japan, 21K.
2006 - PenStyle "Mine" White. White and Rose Gold Pro Gear Slim style produced for Nagasawa, 14K.
2008 - PenStyle "Snow White". White Pro Gear Slim Mini produced for Nagasawa, 14K.
2008 - Sailor "Pink Gold". White and Rose Gold Pro Gear, 21K.

Do you know whether the LE ivory is different from the standard ivory colour that the Pro-Gear is now available in (with silver trim)?

I believe the Ivory resin is the same in both sizes, and my Ivory Sapporo isn't an LE - the Snow White is a 100-edition, so is the Pink Gold - the "Spring" Ivory Sapporo shown above is regular production for 2008. Ditto for the full-size rhodium trim edition you refer to. It really is a nice putty-white...!

Those are sexy indeed. The world needs more white pens. I am content with one Pro Gear and one Sapporo, both in black, but now I'm thinking one of them could use an evil twin.
Do you have the "Mine" black one too Laura? I have heard of it but wonder how it differs from the regular black ones.
Thanks for sharing the picture.

Stunning!
I especially like the Snow White Sapporo Mini LE. Silver trim on white... that's gorgeous!

I love your snow white sapparo mini pen! Do you know if that is still available today or is that the 2004 edition you have?

I have been trying to find out what the "Profit" models are I can not find it mentioned on the Sailor site, are they cheaper models than the Standards
Thanks

The "Profit" model is a very efficient business model designed by Sailor that (in a nut shell) transfers the money from your wallet to their bank accounts. Naturally, in exchange you receive a well-made widget of the highest quality.
Joking aside...
Profit = 1911
King Profit = King of Pens

Snow White Mini was an LE from Nagasawa in Kobe earlier this year, and they sold out in less than a week.

Stop! Just STOP IT! I can't stand it.

Sophisticated! Elegant!!
My Ivory PG broad nib is a favorite - but my manly sensibilities struggle with sexy, cute and beautiful. Of course, I have the standard black ends - thus rendering it Bond-like

- White & Pink Gold LE (21K rose gold F with rose gold trim).
Laura, if I read this right, the pen has a rose gold nib? I would love to see a photo of that! I don't think I've ever seen a rose gold nib on a pen...
