What Do You Have Inked?

[ENewton]

I am still using the Pelikan 140 EF I bought from Rick at the San Francisco Pen Show in August. It's a relatively dry writer, so a fill of ink lasts a long time, even though I take it to work and use it for writing notes.

[Le Vieux]

A recent acquisition, Pelikan 100 with a exceedingly beautiful binde of grey-black. Nib is of the period, a good and consistent M.

One M200 and one M400 with complementing inks.

Kyo-Iro Stone road of Gion is a great match for White tortoise.

Finally inked up the M205 Telecom I bought last Nov/Dec, with the Stipula Light Blue that just arrived.

Grading exams, and heading to final exams, so it's that time of the semester when I ink the full line up. Pelikans:

- Brown 400nn BB nib, inked with Noodler's Eel Turquoise

- Green 400nn OBB nib, Sailor blue black

- My late mother 120, fitted with a vintage gold F nib, Pelikan Violet

- Black 140, Waterman n°2 flex nib, Herbin Terre de feu

- Toledo red M205, stubbed B nib, Diamine Monaco red.

 

Boring job doesn't need to be done in a boring way... :-D

At the moment:

1950s era 400 with the OB nib -- Edelstein Olivine (I was too lazy to flush the pen before leaving town and just refilled it instead).

M400 Brown Tortoise, F nib -- vintage-ish Skrip Brown (yellow box, but not the old yellow and blue style with the directions for how to fill a Snorkel on the flap).

Flushed the Stipula Dark Blue from the M300 and replaced it with Musk Green, last Friday I think. Then filled the blue-stripe M400 with the Dark Blue last night but letting it sit overnight to saturate the feed.

In addition to the ones already inked up (the vintage 400 and the M400 Brown Tortoise) I pulled out the M200 Green Marble and (temporarily) swapped out the M nib for the Italic Medium that came on my second Café Crème (I had swapped out that nib for a B because the IM nib was a firehose even by Pelikan standards). But I needed to do a bit of calligraphy for a project and wanted to practice and still had the IM nib. So I put it on the Green Marble for the time being, and filled the pen with 4001 Brilliant Black. The nib still writes pretty wet, even after I had gotten it tweaked a bit (at the same time I'd bought the B nib for the Café Crème). But on Rhodia the ink stilled dried relatively quickly, and didn't smudge or feather. [i needed a template for some text that was then painted onto edible wafer paper after taping the wafer paper onto my lightbox, over the original hand-written stuff (I used black paste food coloring diluted with vodka for the wafer paper version).

Sitting overnight.... nib up or down? How interesting! I would not have thought to do that.

 

Right now I have inked the following:

 

Pelikans 400 and 400NN, with Waterman's Serenity Blue

Pilot Custom 74, with Monteverde Sapphire

Jinhao and a customized nib, with Iroshizuku Yama-Budo

Just laid horizontally. My pens are only nib up when in my shirt pocket.

Only change from the end of December that I posted up thread a bit, I finally cleaned out the Copper Gold and put the M1000 Green EF into the lineup... filled with Akkermann's Steenrood van Vermeer, a brick reddish kind of ink with a lot of character. I'd forgotten how much I like this big bird... now I really can't wait for the big Stresemann
