A TWSBI 540 ROC

 

 

My second Jinhao 159 - such superb value (once a finer nib is installed) - need a spare just in case they vanish off of the market.

 

 

I just received my first one today and am well-impressed. However, between the broad nib and small converter I'm not sure I even got two pages of writing from my first fill.

My Lamy 2K is somewhere between here and the Phoenix sorting facility. (Actually, I suspect that at this moment it is at the Omaha sorting facility, in which case it is not between here and Phoenix BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.)

I'm waiting for a Levenger True Writer (Sea Glass colors), broad nib. Well, I'm sort of waiting; I'm waiting to see if my ebay bid is the winning one. I've never done anything on ebay before, and am not sure how likely it is.

Still waiting for a Ranga eyedropper to be delivered. Last update was that it was processed at ISC (NY) on August 3rd. Going crazy because USPS hasn't updated anything wacko.gif

Currently trying to sell a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise. PM if you're interested. :)

I won two today on the 'bay and can't wait 'til they arrive:

 

A NOS Titanium Lamy Persona & a Roberge Orbite.

 

(I believe Roberge is a high-end watch maker based in Switzerland. Their primary market is the Middle East [saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Dubai] and SE Asia [singapore, Indonesia]). Around 1997 they sold pens too.)

Today should witness the arrival of a stainless steel Sheaffer Targa. Hopefully a Sailor 1911m and Jinhao 159 will also arrive, as I'm eagerly anticipating them as well.

A 1928 Sheaffer flat top and an Arnold, both from eBay, total cost was under 40 bucks. Both are nice cream and black marble colors!

A Pilot 78G, fine nib and red body. I've been wanting to try a Japanese fine nib for a while, and this was the best price for one! It just shipped out this morning!

I'm writing an online serial thing. It's urban fantasy. And I have no idea how long it's going to run for.

A sailor 1911 medium Black with a stub nib modification, shipped Wednesday, this will be my second FP.

My first one is a lamy safari XF which is horrible. I ordered some new nibs for it yesterday.

Waiting on a Sheaffer viewpoint in translucent green at the moment.

I've just acquired a nameless touchdown filler on top of the No Nonsense calligraphy set, so I might be working on another worrisome habit...

I am waiting for a serwex piston filler. I am very curious about these Indian pens. In the same package I am also waiting a bottle of turquoise ink too :puddle:

A vintage Lady Sheaffer X (medium nib, ivory and gold coloured body with the tulle pattern)! :D From Peyton Street Pens, a NOS second.

2. A LE pen called the Imperial they made for Levenger

3. A Medium Nibbed Purple ProColor

      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
