Is It Odd That I Want Another 149?

[benbot517]

Ok, so I have a 149 with an OBBB nib, and I adore it. Its a phenomenal writer. But seeing a 149 with a BB nib got me wanting another. Its in beautiful shape, and Im so very tempted. Is that odd to want another?

[farazqamar]

not at all. If they had them in different colors, i would probably own a bunch of them like my pelikans instead of the only one 149 at the moment.

You're in the MB forum. For many of us it is odd you only have one 149. 😁

 

The pen is a great form factor and B+ nib widths have enjoyable line variations in writing.

Relax, the 'affiction' is normal and you are amongst friends.

 

One quote on here sticks with me " I hope when i die that my partner does not sell my pens for he prices I said I paid for them "

Yep, it would be odd to NOT want another 149, especially if the first one gives you that much pleasure.

Different pens for different reasons

All legitimate to self

 

FYI I just added another, bringing the 149 stash to six

 

My 51's are in the cigar boxes full... Am I sick U bet : )

 

 

Now and again I will sell one !

 

This iis a hobby Right

Is there a reason to justify a normal wish?

Perhaps you can venture out in the #9 nib by MB in many editions.

 

For example, the same nib can be found in dumas, hemingway and homer which I find rather appealing than the signature 149. Nib wise, I find the fleur de lis nib of dumas striking and homer would be a close second with the rose gold plating.

 

To each their own, perhaps you can justify this perfectly ok madness with different editions much easier, atleast for me.

I have 13 ... well 12; one belongs to my friend.

 

All from different years and with different nibs.

 

Somehow I like adding another version instead of trying something new.

 

Cheers

Bottom line? All fountain pen owners and especially owners of 149s are odd. Embrace your inner oddness.

 

Yes, by definition, I am odd.

Of course not..but Be Pen Collector is not normal..

[mana]

No.








..as in, it isn't odd at all.

[Says]

Stop it! I just got my first one and am still trying to save money!

 

I want to go extreme though, just got an EF, planning to get an OBBB next.. please let me know if anyone has one spare haha

Maybe not an answer to the question, but an indication that you are not alone in your desire:
