Tuesday.... back to my nasty self

[OldGriz]

Again, you have to love mislabled or mis-identified auctions...

The auction for this pen listed it as "PARKER " 51 DEMI "BROWN W/ LUSTRALOY CAP FOUNTAIN PEN". However, the description in the body of the auction said "COLORS: DOVE GREY BARREL ". The picture was obviously not dove grey, in fact it looked pink...

So we have a bad color picture, and conflicting colors... so we get only 6 people bidding on the pen.... and I won (at the right price, of course)

So what did I receive...

A mint Cocoa 51 Demi with a xf nib and a perfect lusterloy cap with no dings or rub marks and a pliglass sac that looks like it rarely saw any ink... the pen cleaned up internally very well. If it did not have a xf nib, I would keep it... but instead it is going to the DC Show to support my habit and maybe allow me to find something real interesting there.

Congratulations, Tom. Another great buy from the ebay expert.

 

It's funny that you bought a Parker "51" yesterday while I bought 5 Sheaffers off ebay. Something is not quite right with the world. Please don't tell Jim what I did.

Ok so I fell off the planet and ended up in a time warp of a parallel universe or summat

 

I have the Sheaffer expert buying "51" Demis and a "51" user buying Sheaffers, I have got to go off and lie down.

 

I think this must be the labs at Murphy Towers playing around with the time/space continuum again

The more I see these great deals with them, the more I can't wait til I finally get one

Guess I shouldn't mention the RED P61 capillary I picked up at the Miami Pen show.....
