Greetings FPN! I was born and raised in California, but now I am currently residing in one of the cities that comprises Metro Manila, the capital of the Philippines. I've always had an interest in fine writing materials, and have been a long time lurker to these forums. I recently decided to create an account in hopes to interact more with fellow members, and to learn more about this timeless (and expensive) hobby that continues to draw my interest. I only own a handful of fountain pens and a few bottles of ink, but I hope to expand my collection and knowledge to a level where I can also actively contribute to these forums. "Salamat sa lahat!" (Thanks to all!)

This was the kind of pen that they ignored, having been placed at the far end of the display shelf at Cosmos Bazaar in Binondo, Manila. The Pilot 55C2 is a rare fountain pen from the 1980s. But they didn't know that, and neither did I. But there it joined the rest of my fp acquisition because the nib said, "Baby, come to meee..." Later, a quick browse through Google revealed a brief description of this pen. Unlike most Pilots that run on their patent cartridge or converter, the Pilot 55C2 accepts international standard cartridges. This is a wonderful thing! Postable and with a snap-cap, this light pen does not disappoint. It is about the same length as the Pilot 78G, only slimmer. The ink flow is steady, the pen feels balanced. Just smooth. Why did Pilot discontinue this good pen? We may never know.
