What's your favorite green pen?

Recommended Posts

As of this time, I have no green-colored pens in my collection. However, when I gaze into my future, I see two old-style OMAS Paragons in Saft Green celluloid and Green Arco celluloid. The future looks good indeed...

Here are two favorite pens, both of which happen to be green. I never particularly thought I would like green pens, but I really like these two vintage celluloids. The sun was shining and there was a piece of driftwood on our deck and so... an impromptu shot of my favorite green FPs. Not a very professional shot, but it was fun. They are

 

--a Parker Striped Duofold Major (1943, 4th quarter) green and gold

 

--a Sheaffer Balance Lifetime (1930/31) marine green

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I have only 'a' green snakeskin that I'm still working on repairing. It is definitely a bright lime green old plastic plunger pen.

I'm glad you posted this picture. The Sheaffer Marine Green Balance is probably my favorite green too...

Green? Beautiful color. I have a fondness for the Jade from the 20s. I happen to have two Sheaffer's Flat Top and one Balance in this color.

Plus, I'd like to mention my Pelikan 100 marbled green.

On the modern side, I have several Pelikan in striped or solid green.

 

Ciao,

I've seen them all in person, and they are truly lovely! A wonderful collection of green pens (and many other delightful colors, not shown)!

Green and white are my favourite colours for fountain pens. I think they are gorgeous and elegant.

 

About my favourite green pen….oh, that is difficult, I really want to pick the breathtakingly beautiful OMAS Paragon Celluloid Green Arco HT. But eventually I have to say that will be the CS Westminster. Yes, she is the unbeatable one!

I only own one green pen, but it's a really good one: my mint green Esterbrook J.

Does not always write loving messages.

Does not always foot up columns correctly.

Does not always sign big checks.
