Good morning, JD and everyone. Might snow today (and I'm not kidding).

JRodriguez, thanks, that and aero "51" are my favorite vintage pens. Do people use FP more in India?

Back to work after a long weekend.
Pilot Prera Lime Green F nib with Levenger Pinkly
Bexley Fun Time Lipstick with Binder 0.5mm CI with Midnight Blues



Edit: Added a quick photo..darn, should have polished the clips

Huummmpppphhhhh

Using the same 2 I fixed yesterday.
Namixin and Sheaffer. Perfect writers.

On the road today....
In the planner:
Sheaffer Snorkel F (open nib) recently restored by Old Griz, Noodler's Red Black ink

WingSung 237 brown celluloid, xf nib, FPN Galileo Brown ink

in the Piquadro:
Hero 100 flighter, F nib, Noodler's Black
Esterbrook DeLuxe, 2556 nib, Aurora Blue ink

Recently I had 2 pens restored by Tom Mullane (aka OldGriz). The turn around time was excellent, both pens were back in my hands within 7 days of my dropping them at the post office! His price was fair, and the quality of the work is excellent. I'll try to post a review of these pens in the near future.

Hi everyone,
Today I used my Herlitz Tornado for bookkeeping.

'45 Vacumatic as threatened previously, as well as a Parker Reflex for coat-pocket quick-draw duty.

Oh, look, it's snowing. At least we've got insanely high winds to balance it out.

I am using Waterman Edson today. Tomrrow, I haven't decided yet. Cheers!

Kurt

Today I'm carrying a Lamy 2000 I had John Mottishaw stub and a clear Wality eyedropper. Taki, I do more often see fountain pens in use here. But it is still rather rare. I hear though that in some schools kids are required to use fountain pens - though the schools I've visited did not. And I've not yet seen a stationary store here - be it big or a whole in the wall - that wasn't selling fountain pens.

Good morning, JD and everyone. It's snowing.

JD, those pens look nice. Hope it's going to be another good pen day for you

Same combos as yesterday.

I just got an Osmiroid 75 with a broad Rolatip in the mail yesterday, cleaned it up last night, so today is test-run day! Shaded writing may cause riots at work, which is exactly what I hope for.

Good morning Taki.
So much thunder and lightning, so much power to harness.

Today I am going to concentrate on my ancient dip pens and Dragon Ink. So much to do.

Keep forgetting to contribute to this thread......

Today, in the shirt pocket:
Pelikan M625, F nib with PR DC Supershow Blue and Bexley Submariner Richard Binder Red Pearl SE, F nib with Waterman red ink.

Gotta' ink up that "51" and Vac. for tomorrow.

Cheers, Dean

Two pens that I just bought.

Namiki Vanishing Point
Lamy Studio with the Palladium finish.

Absolutely love them both.

Using four pens today
Two New to me,
Sheaffer Statesman, "Burple" ink
"51" Demi, Waterman Florida Blue
Hero 100, Sheaffer Green (new bottle) Really neat color
Hero 332 Marine Green

Can see a snow covered Mt Baker, but no Bald Eagles in my trees.

1979 montblanc 149

Platinum stainless triple wave with fine nib, anointed with Noodler's Squeteague. I got this from Stan a couple of weeks ago. I love it! (Mine has a black section, though).

Good morning, JD and everyone. Snow on the ground.

Parker "51" Cocoa with Waterman Blueblack
Pilto Prera lime green with Levenger Pinkly
Pilot decimo pink with PR Arabian Rose

Snow,

Good morning, 44F and a clear sky.

Back to the norm. XEZO and M800.

today I have used:

Sheaffer Prelude in brushed steel, fine nib
several Parker Vectors in steel and black, fine nib
Lamy Safari Al-Star in "blue aluminum," xf nib


QM2

Good morning, JD and everyone. Snow's all gone, and supposed to go up to 40's.

It's a Pilot-kind-of day. The same two from yesterday and added Pilot Legance M nib with Waterman Florida Blue.

Global warming...? What global warming...?
Its 41F degrees...had to turn on the heater, and everything looks like day glow green.
Brrrr morning Taki.

M800 and Visconti

Say rather "Climate Change." It adjusts expectations.

Just got a Parker 17 in the mail, and it's getting a shakedown today. WET! BROAD! I need to become famous so I can do signatures-- it's making bigger lines than my Waterman Phileas medium.

Finally letting my Pels have a rest today. Even doing a complete clean out and soak. Today I am trying to use the ink out of my Burgundy Parker 51 and my new Teal 51 demi. Inked up in my pen case for later use today are my MB 144 a little 150 Pel and the Red Ripple # 5 all with various browns I am testing out. Also shortly plan to work crosswords with my Black and Pearl Streamlined Dufold Sr. pencil.

Enjoying a thundering / raining Friday the 13th at home!!!

Pilot vanishing point Ice Blue...with pilot violet cartridge...
Sailor Bamboo Susutake with Naginata Togi MF nib with black sailor cartridge...
Tibaldi Iride by Lazzaroni (Super Mauri Abrami!!!) with EF nib ...tibaldi black ink...

Bye...

Today it's just me and my Pelikan m605 (filled with Diamine Sapphire Blue). But, that's mainly because I'm waiting to see what might show up in today's mail. I sent a Parker Sonnet Cisele to Parker to exchange the medium nib for a fine, and it could show up today (or not).

Update: The Parker didn't arrive, so I inked up the VP with the fine nib.

Today I won't be doing much writing at all. Ohto Tashce with PR Midmight Blue cart.

Me either, what ever I pick up.

'45 Vacumatic for actual writing, and an Osmirois 75 with a B2 in it's gob for monkeying around with a Littera Bastarda cursive I'm trying to get a grip on.

I'm back in the writing saddle...three back-to-back writing projects, hopefully this is the last set of revisions...for note-taking, I've inked up Waterman ivory Charleston with Apache Sunset, Pelikan Piccadilly with WidowMaker, Pel Grand Place w/ Cayenne, Pel M200 blue demo w/ DC Blue...figure if I have to slave at the laptop, I want my notes to be colorful

I signed a few letters with my Waterman Phileas (M) loaded with Noodler's Legal Lapis.

An ongoing project is to make reference cards of engineering design and analysis procedures. I am using a Lamy Safari (EF) filled with Noodler's Black for the notes and sketches, Safari (F) with Eternal Brown for "highlighting" important parts.

Journal entries get the Pelikan 805 (F) with Zhivago.

You know what Taki...? It is 38F and I wonder if the doom and gloom crowd are even paying attention.

Oh well.

Testing new inks today, got a new batch of PR.

Very inexpensive Reform Skywalkers with very good nibs.

I finally got a new hood for a Cordovan "51" so I inked it up, and have been rather enjoying it. I didn't think I'd enjoy this color this much!

Slept in today, and I feel good 47F already and it's going to be 60's

Wow! JD, those twoink colors look very cool in demos! What are they?

Have not decided what to use but I think I will use decimo with Arabian Rose, Pel M250 with Purple Martin.

Parker 51 for writing report.

Parker 75 for drafting.

today i'm using these pens...
Bye...

Good morning, JD and everyone! It's 34F but the high will be 70F

Probably using my Lime Green Prera with Pinkly because the current pages of Moleskine Diary bleed through so bad and it's the only one I can use

Good morning Taki. It is 42F and sunny. Wow, really fresh DOTS.....
M800 and LAMY.Click to view attachment

On the road for a week.

In the Piquadro:
Hero 100 flighter, F nib, Noodler's Red-Black
Lamy 2000 F nib, Noodler's Legal Lapis

in the Franklin Planner:
Wing Sung 237 (brown celluloid) F nib, Noodler's FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown

Today I'm trying out an Imperial.

Not a Sheaffer... Imperial is the brand name. Got a little crown on the clip and a warranted point. Ooh. Ahhh. From the way it was acting after wiping, I don't think it will get a lot of time in the rotation-- like real royalty, it appears to have some trouble keeping its coloured fluids from dripping out.

Work

Still lots of ink in the Pelikan Level 5 (didn't use it much last week).

Pelikan M400 - Pelikan Black

Waterman Charleston - Waterman Florida Blue



Home

Pelikan 140 - Pelikan Black

Sheaffer Balance II - Sheaffer Black

Parker 65 - Parker Blue-Black

Good morning, JD and everyone. It's already 50F and high will be in upper 60's.

Pilot Prera Lime Green F with Levenger Pinkly
Pilot Prera Vivid Pink F with PR Midnight Blue

Today I get to play with a 1935 Parker Moderne I've just re-sacced. The Imperial of my last post has some feed issues I'm going to have to study up on... but it didn't destroy any shirts.

my stable of Parker 51's

hi...

today i'm using:

-Parker Duofold Cloisonne with ef 18kt duofold nib, black parker cartridge.

-Sailor Bamboo Susutake fitted with 21kt Cross Concord Emperor, black sailor jentle ink cartridge.

-Sailor King Of Pen black hard rubber fitted with 21kt medium nib (became a fine nib after Nagahara modified it), blue black sailor jentle ink cartridge.

-Visconti The Dragon, 18 kt ef nib, caran d'ache caribbean sea ink!!!

What a day...

Bye!!!

Good morning, another sunny day in Iowa.

Same pens as yesterday-two Pilot Preras.

sailoraff, Susutake looks very nice

Today I am using and fine tuning the nibs on my TAC II pens.

Still using my faithful 1979 MB 149

Wow! Over 90 pages! Today I am using a Caran d'Ache Ecridor "Chevron" rollerball with Pelikan blue F refill. Havin' fun, but will probably switch to my Pelikan M420 later in the day. I usually can't hang with rollerball all day .

I'm rotating just my Lamy 2000 & sailor 1911 demonstrator for the moment. Both are as smooth as they come.
