What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

Recommended Posts

My Ackerman pen showed up, surprisingly, the day before yesterday. I notice it was postmarked the day I opened a dispute via PayPal. Imagine that! (/sarcasm) I still have a dispute open for a partial refund, because they sent me the wrong body.

 

That aside, still waiting on my Jinhao X750 to arrive from China. :)

Just bought a Visconti Homo Sapiens Oversize in Bronze Age with an EF nib from Bryant at Chatterley Luxuries. Knowing Bryant, I should have it within the week! :D

I'm waiting for a package of ten hero 616 pens from a reputable eBay dealer, for $20. These are amazing pens and, assuming I can get the majority of them tuned up nicely, these might very well be my main writing instruments for years to come.

A 1980's Pelikan D400 and R400 both stamped West Germany to accompany my M400 and K400. It will be my first and only complete set of fountain pen, rollerball, ball point, and pencil.

It looks like that Taccia Staccato that has been bouncing around MD and NC post offices has finally moved into California.

My husband just bought a Parker 75, in sterling silver, with the matching mechanical pencil on ebay. I'll find out when it comes if it's my grail pen - I couldn't see if it had metal threads or plastic. I'm sure I will love it anyway :)

Hubby knew that I had been longing for a Faber Castell Loom and a Seven Seas Writer, so he bought them for me for Christmas! Can't wait for them to get here in the mail...hopefully tomorrow.

I thought, with the Waterman Carene and the Eversharp Symphony having come in, that I was all out of pens to wait for this year.

 

Then Nakaya e-mailed me saying my Briar is on its way back to me, with the nib adjusted. I like the 3776 Century I picked up on Black Friday, which has a very similar shape, but I really am looking forward to having the Briar back.

A nice French safety pen - a Gold Starry No 255 (Seller's photo of course).

My Jinhao 3000 - French Eiffel Towel pattern embossment arrived today. Inked with Chesterfield Mahogany. Have already placed a two-tone Goulet 1.1 stub on it. Interesting looking pen.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
