A Chatterly Delta Stantuffo Star Cage in Marmo Incrinato.

I have wanted that celluloid since I first laid eyes on it. I

was surprised that he had it and jumped all over it.

The Marmo Incrinato is beautiful indeed. I bought one from Bryant a few years ago. You will love it.

 

If you search back through SBRE Brown's videos, you will find a review of the very pen I bought.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Visconti Merry Go Round... should be here on Monday, BUT I will be away for work starting on Monday. I wont be home until Friday, so I have self-inflicted a longer waiting time grrrr.

 

I have been looking for the pen for the past several months, but had no luck, and I was asking around at the Philly Pen Show. Only one retailer had it in stock, but it was at the store, all the way in California... I paid for it there and then, so that I could get the pen show discount and free shipping LOL.

 

The pen has been shipped, started the 2700 miles journey across the continent, and- OMG I cannot wait!!!!!

Let's see....

A PIF from a fellow member of a Kaweco Sport and case (no info on nib or color) which should arrive any day.

 

New barrel and section for one of my P45's, which should arrive tomorrow. And next week a Parker 51 demi Vacumatic. Either burgundy or cordovan Brown. Will have to check date and all that. Supposed to be a 1948 pen.

I'm waiting for two orders: A Lamy Safari in petrol blue, from Pen & Paper which I'm not at all concerned about...

 

And a 1969 Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown from Heritage Collectibles. Which hasn't turned up yet, I have no purchase confirmation for, and I am very concerned about...!

Okay. Here are the photos.....

 

A red Kaweco ICE Sport with M nib and case plus mini ballpoint.

 

A new barrel and section for one of my P45's which made a trip through the laundry sometime ago. This changes color from burgundy to green. I would call it a forest green. I have before and after photos and the group shot. The nib is a 14k EF.

Kaweco Liliput Eco Brass Fine Nib with the Kaweco Leather Pouch. Was looking for a sturdy small EDC pen and it fit the bill. That ends the acquisition hiatus. Over a year since a new pen joined the stable, let the floodgates open.

Keep your nose clean and your nib wet.

I'm awaiting the following Pelikans:

 

M805 Streseman (F)

 

M800 (M) [all black, gold trim]

 

M805 (F) Blue and black

 

 

I guess I've fallen pretty hard for Pelikan.

      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
