Pen Suggestions Under $100

[Lusito]

I have a maximum budget of $100 for a new buy. I would appreciate some suggestions for fountain pens in marbled pattern green, white, fuchsia, orange, amber or light blue colour.

Thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards

Italix Parson's Essential from Mr Pen comes in Amber & green (but not marbled).

Check out what Levenger has. They may have both color and patterns you are looking for. And prices are $99 or less.

Check out www.gouletpens.com. They have a great selection of pens within your budget. No, I don't work for them or get any kind of kickback. They are a really great online dealer, and work very hard to keep their customers happy. They also ship internationally for reasonable shipping costs.

If you didn't have the color restrictions, this thread would come to life. However, I think Noodlers has a lot of pens in your color range

The Pilot Prera and now the Metropolitan is available in a lot of solid bright colours.

 

Franklin-Christoph Collegia in Orange is $79-$94.5 USD.

Even though it is out of your price range at $150, you should consider the Edison production line of pens for some of the best marbled patterns out there.

Have you looked over Monteverde's Intima line? And do you want all of those colors in your pen, or any combination thereof?

Pilot Custom Heritage 91. You can find them on Amazon or EBay pretty easily for under $100. Classic styling and Pilot gold nibs are consistently excellent and there's a wide variety to choose from. The Con-70 converter is awesome.

I would also put a vote in for Levenger fountain pens. I'm very pleased with my True Writer, and I like the idea of being able to swap nibs.

 

If you are willing to take a chance on vintage pens, an Esterbrook J can give you some of those patterns, an enormous range of nibs, incredible reliability and durability, and rugged design. The best part is could could buy two with your budget and have some money left over.

For that price you can get a Pelikan M200 Marbled Green or the M200 Cognac demonstrator, which are reliable piston fillers and wonderful writers.

Good luck in your search and let us know what you decide to get.

Do they have to be new? I'd highly recommend an Esterbrook with a nice master series nib. I'm also extremely pleased with my new Ranga 4C that I ordered from a group buy here. It was $75 shipped and comes in a number of nice ebonite colors.

Italix P.E. or Pelikan M200; I have got a cheap Ranga and have been somewhat disappointed.
