Bexley Pen, Your Favorite?

[Charles Skinner]

Please tell me about your favorite Bexley pen, and why you love it. May be one soon in my future! My hand is somewhat large, and I like pens in the Montblanc 146 size range. Thanks.

A Poseidon in bronze.

 

Classic looks and piston filling.

I have a Bexley Corona Summer Storm, which I love - I never get tired of looking at the sparkle in the sunlight. Though it is little thinner and lighter than my Poseidon Magnum II, which I also love, it's still a good size pen. But my favorite is my BX802 in Cappucino - maybe a bit smaller than what you want. And, most importantly, they all write very well.

I ordered a Perlson Enterprises Exclusive (wish it had an actual model name...) in Blue Velvet with a medium steel nib from Judd's, which I'm waiting to receive. Can't wait to try it. It seems to be a somewhat big pen (around 5,5 inches maybe) with a long section. The discounted price is what really attracted me (around $60!). I want a black Stalwart too, but I'm not sure how different it would be.

 

I'm preferring medium nibs now, I wonder if the broad is too broad. Lamy steel broad feels broader than I want.

My Bexley Corona is a red, piston-filler that closely approximates my Parker Duofold.

Poseidon Magnum II and Imperial are my favorite Bexley models

Same here on the Summer Storm; wonderful pen and wonderful writer.

Poisedon II, nice size and piston fill.

[penmanila]

here's mine, and a handsome, large one it is--a "bexleyfold," an ebonite bexley specially made with a modern duofold centennial nib and section and a vintage duofold clip:

 

 

next to that is this tortoiseshell simplicity:

I am very fond of Bexley pens, and have quite a few of them- at least 40.

 

My favorites for writing are the Poseidon and Poseidon Grande models. They are just the right size (great grip diameter) for my hand.

 

Here is an older photo showing a a few from my collection. These have a number of additional siblings these days.

I treated myself to a Bexley Monarch in Lapis Blue for Christmas, and I love it! A big, pretty pen with a smooth medium nib that's a delight to use.

I have two Coronas, one Simplicity II, and four Simplicitys. My Coronas are Summer Storm and Blueberry Cream which are absolutely great pens as well as beautiful. The piston fillers always start and are nice wet writers. Of the other pens, my two tortoise Simplicitys are gorgeous and very nostalgic looking.

a very nice collection, too! i especially like the metal one on the far right.

 

That is the 2008 Owner's Club in Sterling. There is also a vermeil version that didn't make the photo. Also pictured is one of the two "prototype" versions they made in vermeil with red plastic instead of black, which I love.

Best Regards, greg

My favorite is the only one I have: an Americana in Yellowstone. If the OP can find one, it might suit him; it's 144.8 mm long. I like it because it's visually striking, light and well balanced for its weight, and its fine (steel) nib is very smooth.
