Nice. I have always admired the Laureat. Never had one.

Just two now, Edson Diamond Black and Edson Sterling Silver LE. Sold my Carenes and an Exception Night & Day.

I have the same two Edsons. Great pens, but I would have liked a stub on one of them. Too expensive to get a spare section, though.

Carene Black Lacquer GT model in F, and a green lacquer Hemisphere GT with the gold preface EF nib... thinking about purchasing the Expert II model while dreaming about Edson model.

Sincerely,

I find myself with three, and eventually, I'll get some of the classics.

 

I have a Commando, a Corinth (that needs work) and a C/F.

I have 6 Waterman fountain pens. Five of them are vintage. Only one is modern.

 

2 with pink nibs.

1 is a One Hundred Years pen

1 is a Patrician Moss Agate

Four of them have nice flex nibs.

A Preface with a medium nib has been 'my pen' for the last 20 years. Since then I have bought another cap and barrel and some spare nib units: a B, another M (now modified by Pendleton Brown), a factory stub and an OGL (oblique gauche large?). Other than those I have a couple of 52-1/2v, a 32v, a 52, a 55 and a Stalwart 352.

I now have two Watermans. I got a Phileas after finding the Phileas Phever thread. Force helped me steer clear of iffy ones on eBay. I got the green Amazon version in a set. The pen looks pristine. The listing said it was never used. Very lucky find.

Presently, just one: a Phileas. It's worked well enough for me, so I'd consider getting others, but at the moment, I'd kind of prefer to get pens from other makers to broaden my experience with fountain pens.

I've sold off about 50 vintage Watermans, from hard rubber 52s through to wartime 100-year pens, leaving me with a core collection of a half dozen red ripples, 52 to 56, all users with nibs-to-die-for, a few early slip-cap hard rubber pens, a couple sterling and solid-gold hand-engraved overlays, a complete set of color nibbed No. 7s, and Silver-Ray, Emerald-Ray, Copper-Ray and "Black-Ray"* Watermans that are part of my international Ray-Celluloid pen collection. I have a moss agate Patrician set that I've decided will go. I just don't use it because it is too perfect.

A Lady Patricia Onyx (and pencil)

A Lady Patricia Persian. Even with the flexy nib that needs to be tuned, this is my favorite pen.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
