Vintage Esterbrook J Fountain Pen 2556 Nib

This is what I'm waiting for.....I found out that Charles Shultz was a big fan of Esterbrooks and since he lived here in Santa Rosa, CA, they're good enough for me

I am eagerly awaiting a pen which will be at the same time my first vintage and my first Pelikan. It's a green stripe 400NN, and it's as old as I am, though likely in better shape :lol:

I am waiting for a Platinum Preppy as I've never used one before.

And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart-Leigh Bardugo

A couple of Kaweco Sports I ordered were delivered today along with some their calligraphy nibs. Nothing special, but these are my first Sports, and I am enjoying the novelty of their look. A couple of the nibs aren't very cooperative, but the double broad nib I received is a pleasantly wet and smooth writer.

It arrived today....and now I know what you all mean by "buttery smooth", because it just glides across the paper.

Another Jackdaw! Fingers crossed this one actually gets to me...! Although, technically, it's not in the mail... it has a bit of a mission to get to me over islands, through forests and mountains, and over an ocean, in the hands of a travelling martial arts teacher...!

Just waiting for the phone call from the Montblanc Boutique that my ebay acqured MB 146 with OB nib is all overhauled like new and ready to pickup. Well it's kind of in the mail, on it's way back from the MB repair center.

I´m waiting for a Pelikan M200 Smoky Quartz, which should arrive tomorrow.

Looking forward to this one, even though I´m used to beefier pens.

It seems that I inadvertently bought somewhat of a wet noodle grail-y pen!

 

Woaaaah! That is some serious flex going on.

Congratulations!

Waiting for a Pelikan M805 blue stripe from missing-pens.de. Shipped yesterday but it will take some time to get here from Germany. It will be my 3rd Pekikan but first M80x series pen. I am looking forward to getting it.

      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..

      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
