To do some HW (math, hahaha!) I used my Sheaffer's Sentinel Touchdown pencil, but for my other HW I will use my Sentinel pen. What a great writer!

Pilot decimo pink F nib with Highland's Heather

I've been using a Waterman Phileas pen for a few years now...its a great pen but I don't have the $$$ to spend on anything more expensive...maybe when I graduate from college...

I was soo tempted to repair my Empire Set... NO *SMACK* DONT USE.... *SMACK*

But i did use my Parker 51 flighter with Waterman Blue Black, and a MB 146 with Fountain Pen Hospital Noodlers Eternal ink (I think its called Manhattan blackest black) really smooth.

Well, I inked up a couple more today - my Millenium Arc got filled with Luxury Blue and my 45 got filled with PR Burgandy Mist.

M800 and DUKE SHARK

Inked up my Pelikan Concorde City Series, my Aurora 88, and I've got a couple Lamy Safaris and a VP in the bag as well.

Pelikan m400 white honey (0.7mm cursive-italic nib ground by Dillo) with Waterman Havana brown.

Today I inked up my Aurora Optima and Visconti Wall Street LE - boy do I love these pens; and it's great to ink up pens I haven't used in a while and find myself quickly reminded of why I keep them. I'm also carrying 2 Lamys and a Vanishing Point.

Pelikan M200, M with black Quink.

M800 and DANI Tac II

today in the four pen case I have, from left to right, a Sheaffer filled gold FP ( its the 797 model ), a cocoa / stainless steel capped Parker 51 pencil, an English made Parker 51 Signet ( I think this is what it is - is a all rolled gold parker 51) and the matching FP to the cocoa pencil. The Signet arrived on Monday in the post - it's lays down a bit too much ink and is a bit thick for my liking. The Cocoa 51 on the other hand is just perfect.

Also with me today is a Parker 15, a few refilled Pilot v4 pens and a Parker 45 flighter. In the two pen case are a lamy vista and an English Senior Duofold in burgandy and black marble.

Is this excessive ?

Only if you try to use more than one at a time!

I'm carrying a Sheaffer Valient Snorkel with PR Copperburst, a Parker 45 with Quink (leftover) black in, a Parker 21 Super with Noodler's black, and a Hero 616 with Noodler's Aircorps Blue-black.

The 21 Super and the Hero 616 are pretty much premanent pocket dwellers, they are for lab documents and signing (permanent ink), the other two pens I usually carry depend on what I feel like in the morning.

JD

Montblanc Boheme in the large size. Great bold oblique nib.

Forgot the two-pen case so when I needed a finer nib for note-taking I took out the Nakaya, but the nib is in need of a soak, so I'll be using it by day end. Used a Visconti Pericles as a backup.

1951 Parker 51 loaded with Noodler's black!

So far, my two pens include a Sheaffer's Admiral Touchdown, with the wrong nib, filled with Noodler's Black, and my Sheaffer's Skripsert, filled with Skrip Red. My pencil is a Sheaffer's Crest Deluxe pencil, soon to have its matching pen, a Tuckaway Vac-Fil, back from the shop! I can't wait! I will start taking that one instead of the Touchdown. Anyone have a Admiral Touchdown for parts?

~~K~~

M800 and NAMIXIN

At home, with three pens:

Swan Mabie Todd Self-Filler, medium, with Aurora Black ink
Conway Stewart 58 (old), medium italic, with Visconti Blue
Pelikan M200, oblique cursive italic, with Diamine Umber

I've been using my Mandarin yellow VP with PR tanzanite so much the past few days, I think it will be back to my CS 58 with the rhodium trim in dartmoor.



Filled with Noodlers walnut, it makes a great combination.

Yesterday I finally figured out how to restore this pen that's been kicking around for about three years now. I bought it in a big parts lot, and I've been shuffling it aside, ignoring it because I didn't know how it worked, until this week. My friend Dennis Ryder has been helping me by sorting out my boxes and bags and drawers and piles of parts, and he found the pen among the Conklin parts. Seeing it reminded me that it was time for a little excitement, so I restored it.





What is it? It's THE ALL-AMERICAN PEN (product of Conklin), and its filler, the repair of which took me a while to psych out, is a bulb filler that uses a twist knob to "wring out" the sac/bulb thingie. Twist, you expel air. Release, the sac sucks up ink through the breather tube. This thing is a sweet pen! It has a nice Conklin-imprinted nib with a tiny bit of flex, and I'm lovin' it.

Today I've been using my new Filcao Columbia filled with Waterman black. That's a super cool pen Richard!
