Being a 'noobie' and gold nib snob, didn't buy a cheap steel nibbed Pelikan 200 in yellow when I bought my 605 on sale at Galleria Kaufhaus :headsmack: .....and yellow is rare as I found out. I still don't have one.

 

Having a 90-96 Tortoise 400 didn't think I needed a 'cheap' 200.

 

I have come to admire the 200, especially in the last two or three years, it has a nib that is = to the semi-vintage no ring M400.

That is a lot of yellow pens.

Though I'm partial to yellow, I wouldn't buy that lot because I'm not into vintage, but they are a nice shade of yellow.

What I'd love is a Pelikan M800 in a translucent yellow similar to the vibrant blue model. Pelikan, please, take my $$$.

Don't have a yellow. Maybe someday.

Seems FB has already bought that yellow costumed troupe.

OK I admit it. I own them or at least most of them. But did I over pay?

I like yellow pens, although I only have one, a humble Prera. But I'd say I would have to have a huge pen collection to want to add that many in one color. Would love a yellow Pro Gear, though.

I'd buy them if I could afford them, but I seriously doubt that I could afford them.

 

I have a yellow Jinhao 159 in yellow :yikes: .

Hello FB,

 

I don't know; you haven't disclosed what you paid that I can see... unless I'm missing something. :huh:

 

However, whether you overpaid or not is a relative question... if you bought them to restore and re-sell, than you might have... if you bought them because they bring joy to your heart, then you didn't.

You do have a valid point, I have not disclosed the selling price. Perhaps we should delve into the pile and see why someone would even give them second glance. What Plantains lurk among the common Bananas?

Aahhh... I see where you're going with this now. ;)

 

Unfortunately, my knowledge of vintage pens is not sufficient enough to tell the difference between a plantain and a banana. :D

 

But I'll be interested in seeing how this plays out.

I think I recognize a Duofold in there. That is a beautiful collection around a theme. I once thought about collecting yellow pens, but, beyond Kullock there were few offerings I could find. I also rolled a chair over a Kullock 51 yellow pen's cap.

I am a "nib" gal... doesn't matter how pretty is the pen.. I am interested on the nibs. I do like yellow, but they would have to have AWESOME nibs for me to consider. ;)

      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
