1) a beautiful little Sheaffer Vac, brown w/gold stripes, bought a couple of weeks ago from Southpaw, restored by Binder, filled with Florida Blue. I'm in love again!

2) my favorite gray marbled Estie J, #9461, filled with Aurora Black and looking jealous--

Good morning Taki.

Porsche Design and M800

Good morning all,

This weeks choice is a Dunhill Sidecar FP and pencil set. Black with silver (paladium) clip and bands. Using Herbin "Rouge Cyclamen" ink. Understated and simple (only a converter fill) but with quality running through it like a stick of rock.

Good morning!

I think I will use Pilot 78G with Legal Lapis, decimo with Quinkerman, and maybe M400 White Tortoise with my Purple-Grey mix. Hoping my new/old pen is coming here today or tomorrow!

Today I've inked up a Esterbrook J I recently acquired, a Filcao Columbia, and a Pelikan 800. I went two weeks in Europe with only 3 pens - a Lamy 2000, an Aurora 88 and a Lamy Safari - and it really made me appreciate the pens I had awaiting my return, some of which were new acquisitions!

restored Parker 51 made in 1951 loaded with Noodler's Black

these Parker 51's are wonderful pens!

Good evening, everyone!

I've been on the FPN for a few weeks now, but this is my first post here. Thanks for the wonderfully warm welcome!

Today, I've got:

1. Esterbrook SJ in silver with Herbin Poussiere de Lune
2. Pilot Custom 823 with Aurora Black
3. Waterman Edson with Waterman Florida Blue
4. MB 146 with MB Bordeaux - very interesting ink...
5. Pelikan Grand Place with Waterman Havana Brown

I inked the Estie since I couldn't wait to try the Herbin ink. I love the color and I think it could be a great match for my Pelikan Piccadilly Circus (just arrived today ) or my Decimo in Japan pink.

All the best,
Mike

Hi all

Today (and for the last couple of months):

- Aurora Optima medium nib, with Aurora Black Ink.

The pen is great and the hidden reservoir is extraodinary!!

Jose

(my first post at FPN).

Currently, my school line up is a Parker Vector (in green!!!) and a Yafa Quardo multipen for pencil.

Good morning!

Pilot 78G with my LCRPR Tanzanite and Glacier Blue mix (ran out of LL in the pen but wanted a little change)

decimo with Quinkerman

EDIT: wrong ink name. I guess coffee hadn'o kicked in when I wrote it.

Good morning Taki, its freezing again. The cat ate my mouse.
You posted before I did, OMG the universe is changing.

M800 and Jinhao

Inked up a few today - my Pelikan 800, a 1.5mm Rotring art pen (I like writing letters with this), my vanishing point, and a Lamy 2000.

Got my first Estie in the post (J with 9550 point). Couldn't resist filling it (PR Black Magic Blue), so now I have three pens inked again

So much for self-control and restraint...

You know....I haven't done this in a while. Here is what is currently inked:

1) Lamy Vista 1.9mm stub with Firefly yellow
2) Danitrion Tosca Blue and Rust with penman sapphire
3) Pelikan M200 Blue Marble with Penman Sapphire
4) Pelikan M400 Honey Tortise with Penman Emerald
5) Shaeffer no nonsense Blue with Shaeffer peacock blue
6) Waterman Hemisphere Stainless Steel with Waterman Black
7) Ancient Kauri wooden pen with a PR brown that I've forgotten the name of
8) Lamy Vista XF with Noodlers Saguro Wine
9) Kato Seisakusho hand turned black celluloid with waterman black
10) Lyra Calypso BP with Levenger blue bahamas (ok, so it's not really a FP, but it does use FP ink!)

VP Carbonesque -- the one on the right -- with Richard Binder .5mm cursive italic. Loaded with my own mix I call "Old Bishop Street Blue-Black."

That carbonesque is a real beauty!

As usual my olive green Parker 45 with 0.6mm stub nib loaded with Diamine Umber

I am using my Parker 25 (which is a nice smooth writer) whilst I wait for the return of my Parker 51 from Mr.Binder.

3 today .....

Sailor M1911 with Waterman purple
Mentore Regent with MB Seasons Greetings
MB Starwalker with MB Bordeaux

and a vintage Parker pencil

A tough and very hectic week this has been and will continue to be. A lot of meetings and fast writing on a variety of not-so-pen-friendly surfaces. My toughest workhorses are with me:

Pelikan M800 with Florida Blue w' a couple of drops of south seas -- Fine nib
Pelikan M600 with Pelikan Black -- extra fine nib (for those tight spots)
Waterman LeMan 100 with Waterman Blue Black -- fine nib

Morning Taki.

ED Frankenpen and M800

JD, that ED looks very interesting! Is the writing on the bottom done with that pen?

A day off today.
Silver/chrome VP with Binder stub Pilot Blueblack cart. Might change ink.

Today I pulled out my Duofold Centennial, my Parker 45, and my Parker "51" - figured I'd try a manufacturer theme day ...

What are the parts on that Frankenpen from JD50ae?

Today, I'm writing with:

Pilot Vanishing Point, Black with Gold Trim, Binder 0.8mm Stub - Noodlers Zhivago

Pelikan M200, Blue Demo, B Nib - Private Reserve American Blue

Pelikan M620, Grande Place, M Nib - I could have sworn I had PR DC Supershow Blue in this but it looks like PR American Blue, these inks are so similar sometimes I have a hard time telling them apart! Makes sense then that they are my two favorite blues.

Pilot Vanishing Point (Blue Carbonesque) - F point - Pilot Blue-Black ink

Lamy Safari - EF point - Noodlers Red-Black ink

I really like it JD50ae. I guess I really like how some of the things we own and use - like pens - have stories behind them, and become associated with certain people and events in our lives. In any case, I know it's been very trying for you, but thanks for sharing.

I used my Parker 75 sterling silver rollerball with a blue, fine point(yea, yea, I know its rollerball, but hey! I found it at school and my teacher kept asking all of his classes if they lost a pen, but no one ever claimed it, so I got to keep it!) I also used my Sheaffer's TM Touchdown Sentinel pencil. BTW, mine is the "flat top" model. How much would a RB go for? Thanks!

Evan

Good morning Taki. We have another storm, rain rain rain.....................

Wality ED and M800

We are under a blizzard warning till Friday

Silver VP with F nib, filled with Legal Lapis

I'm carrying three today.

Vanishing Point - Blue Carbonesque (F): Dennis Lively's green ink
Parker 51 Vac (XF): Pelikan Royal Blue 4001 ink
Lamy Flame (XF): Sheaffer Skrip Black

I've found that these three seem to go everywhere with me. Every now and again I'll mix it up with something different (like a rOtring 600) but for the most part, I'm getting rather set in my ways.

Flood watch here until midnight.... ugh

Today's are:

Sliver Pearl Vac with fine two tone nib filled with a mix of quink blue and blue-black
Midnight Blue Parker "51" with English Medium nib filled with Waterman Blue-black
Blue Eversharp Skyline with GF cap and fine nib filled with Waterman blue-black

I have a long pre-screening conference call today for a prospective grant applicant, so I pulled out the trusty Pelikan M205 and loaded it up with PR DC Supershow Blue. That should get me through the call with room to spare.

Otherwise, it's:
Grape Cooler Bexley Fun Time with Aurora Blue;
Cocoa Parker "51" aerometric with Noodler's Blue;
Charcoal Lamy Safari with Levenger Pinkly;
Sheaffer Lifetime Clipper Snorkel with Diamine Prussian Blue;
Rubberized black Danitrio Tac Carry II with Waterman Florida Blue.

Hmm. Seems like I'm in a blue-ink mood.

Don M.

An Esterbrook J - 125 manifold nib, Parker Duofold Centennial - M stub nib, Filcao Columbia - f/m nib. I really like the patterning on that Wality JD50ae. Very nice!

Good news, bad news. The bad news is that I'm home sick. The good news is I'm using my Grand Place...

the Pelikan M800 medium nib loaded with Noodler's Hunter

and

the Lamy Al-Star fine nib loaded with Noodler's Fox

and

the Mont Blanc Ramses medium nib loaded with Noodler's Luxury Blue

Love the Grand Place picture.

Pelikan Piccadilly w/ Pelikan Violet
Waterman Charleston (ivory) w/ Noodlers Cayenne

Both gave me great comfort as I slogged away on a book due next Wednesday.

Morning Taki, we were under a tornado watch most of yesterday.

M800 and a potatoe wood

Morning! Hey it's the Peanut Pen

we didn't get as much snow as they said but are still wind is gusting. They just opened the interstate 35 south of us but I'm probably staying home today.

VP Silver with Legal Lapis
P51 Cocoa with Waterman Havana

That Grand Place photo is great. Your handwriting is my ideal.

Today it's the Binder .6mm stub Pelikan (and I have a .6 mm stub for my Vanishing Point on its way, calloo callay) freshly loaded with Herbin Lie de Thé. I'll probably bust out the Densho with Diamine Emerald as well, and the Phileas with Legal Lapis for any envelopes.

I need to buy more Noodler's Golden Brown, must see if James has some in stock. I haven't used my White Tortoise in way too long and I miss it.

for today
Parker 75,sterling with Noodlers Zhivago
Sheaffers Balance 11 LE,tigers eye with Private Reserve Chocolot

Today it's -

BTW - the handwriting is just like my own, except that it is neat, legible, elegant and doesn't wander all over the page
