I guess the easy answer is going to be the next one I make.....

 

Last fountain I made was this one:

The one before that:

It's hard to see something I've worked on leave the house for a new home, but I have a great wife that pours resin for me(and others). So there will always be the next one.....

The most beautiful pen I have ever seen (so far) is my latest purchase: a Mabie Todd 'Swan' Visolfil V from the mid-1930s in brown and gold pearlised celluloid, converted to a bulb filler by (I believe) our own eckiethump:

The photo doesn't do it justice; the celluloid has a depth and sheen to it which can only be seen in the flesh, so to speak.

MB Brandenburg for only €16,900 or so.

A steal.

I can't say what is the most beautiful pen I own but here are some that I consider beautiful.

Handled: Montblanc Proust at a FL FPN meetup.

Owned: Toss-up between blue Aurora Optima and blue/green Visconti Wall Street (but really there are few slouches in my blues collection--maybe the Studio is ugliest, but it is my best writing Lamy and that is saying something).

By the way, great looking orange pen, Scott. Nice work.

The one most beautiful pen ever? Impossible. But a few come to mind...

 

Green Parker Vacumatic, double jeweled. Wonderful. I have one.

 

Pelikan Blue O' Blue. I don't have one. :angry:

 

Sheaffer'S carmine red Balance. My partner has one.

 

For now. :ph34r:

Let me offer up a few pens from my collection.

 

 

 

This one's not quite fair since it's not one pen. But as a gestalt, the Nakaya Rainbow has a certain beauty.

Another Columbus. A Columbus 102 that combines the beautiful striated azure celluloid made famous by Parker with the classic body of 1930's Italian pens.

That I have come across:

  • any Montblanc Gray Striated or Tiger's Eye
  • this particular Pelikan Merz & Krell 400NN
  • 1991 Visconti Ragtime
  • 2003 Montegrappa America's Cup LE - the one that got away
  • 2008 Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year
  • various Montblanc LEs
  • any Omas Bronze Arco

 

 

 

The funny thing is that simple, black pens always manage to steal my heart instead:

  • Omas MoMA
  • Franklin-Christoph 1901
  • Dunhill Sentryman Black Tie
  • Pasha de Cartier
  • my own MB 146s

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
