Carene - New Colours (Materials)

[Left FPN]

IIRC it was the Ivory which gained most acclaim at the time.

 

I like the blue.

I have a weak spot for the Carene’. Have never seen the Green, Blue and Ivory that you show. I love the Ivory. Didn’t realize they had so many colors. Just picked up a Forest Green Carene with gold cap and a Forest green Charleston With gold furnature, Both my two favorite pen fetish’s.

Thanks for showing your pens Force. As for the leather wrapped. I can ‘t keep the leather wrapping on my tennis Raguet, I’m sure that i would destroy a leather wrapped pen. Pretty though.

The 4 colours were not Waterman issue, they are pens that I have refinished using Humbrol model paints.

You could have told me first up.

I have been hunting around fleabay for matching colours. Now I know I just have to get the box of humbrol model paints out of the shed. Although maybe a careen in German Overall Sand may not look as good as your examples. Maybe one in khaki drab or khaki drill would do.

Vieleicht feldgrau. Or Irish Green.

I absolutely love my amber carene, a very underrated fountain pen. Picked it up on Amazon for a smooth $125, and I prefer it over much more expensive and gawdy pens.

Amber Marine is the color that got me to buy a Carene. I mostly like to look at it, and I bought a ballpoint that I mostly look at as well. Sometimes I write with them. Weight seems to be the main deterrent to mo frequent use. Amber Marine is a stunning color.

Marine Amber is the most popular and longest running (since 1997/8) of the colours.

 

I picked up a new, unused, MA yesterday with EF nib for £45. I rarely buy less than Fine size but for the money it was a no brainer.
