What Do You Have Filled At This Moment?

Recommended Posts

Right, from memory and without looking...

 

Parker Frontier - Diamine Amaranth

Parker Frontier - Diamine Majestic Blue

Parker P45 - Diamine Majestic blue

Parker Frontier - Montblanc Racing green

Conway Stewart Winston - Diamine Damson

Pelikan M1000 - Diamine Sapphire Blue

Waterman Phileas - Black Quink

 

Looking at that list I see it is un-representative of what I usually have in rotation. It's always about this number of pens, but I mostly use Herbin inks and I don't have a single one loaded at the moment. Strange, though I did just finish a fill of Eclat De Sapphir in another pen (a Worcester Regal) which I took out of rotation about an hour ago.

The liberty of the press is indeed essential to the nature of a free state; but this consists in laying no previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter when published. Every freeman has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public; to forbid this, is to destroy the freedom of the press; but if he publishes what is improper, mischievous or illegal, he must take the consequence of his own temerity. (4 Bl. Com. 151, 152.) Blackstone's Commentaries

I got back from my long road trip with my Burnham (which traveled just fine in a flannel-lined penwrap stuffed into a rigid plastic eyeglass case) and slowly one by one inked the above, as I wanted them. That was a pleasure, saying hello to my pens again.

I’ve only got 11 inks, and two real good shading inks MB Toffee and Waterman South Sea Blue. Lamy Turquoise and Pelikan Brown shade on better paper.

I swore on Sunday, I’d reduce my “rotation” of pens to 10-11…didn’t happen.

I noticed I have a lot more Fines inked than I expected…in fact that I have so many Fines was a “shock”.

 

Artus piston@ 1950(no model name, not the Bialit or the Favorite which I also have) steel Geha semi-flex OB nib, Waterman South Sea Blue

 

Lamy Joy, nib 1.5 Lamy blue

 

Clipper, piston @1955 rose and black stripped, an “no name” piston filler, with a Fine 14 K Rupp (F-1) flexible nib. Waterman SSB

Clipper, piston @1955 blue and black stripped, with a semi-flex F, 14 K Clipper nib, Pelikan Brown.

 

Diplomat C/C silver plated, stirrup clip, horse jumping in the jewel.(there is the same model with tennis.) regular flex steel M nib, Diamine Purple.

 

Esterbrook, lever, DJ Grey 1948-52, steel 2968 Broad nib, 60 year old sac, Lamy Turquoise

 

Geha piston 790 14 K semi-flex KM, SSB

Geha piston 725 Goldschwing (Gold Wing) 1968-72 semi-flex 14 K Broad. SSB. My second best pen.

 

MB piston, 234 ½ Deluxe (52-55 only) Semi-flex 14 K, KOB nib.

 

It was MB’s 1 ½ tire pen as the 146-149 was coming in for those who did not like that stream lined look, preferring the previous 130 line.

I got this at a live auction as part of a lot, and I was chasing the Pelikan 400NN.

The MB was actually in my way and going to drive the price up. It is now my Go To pen. MB Toffee

 

Parker button filler Vacumatic rose and black stripped, 36 Canadian BB 14 K gold stiff stub nib, and body, 39 clip. SSB

 

Pelikan piston 120, with a Very nice writing regular flex steel Fine, Lamy Violet removed from ink cartridge and put in an inkwell.

Pelikan 400NN, from 1956, which like 1950, has a friction feed…semi-flex 14 K OF, Waterman SSB

Pelikan 400 tortoise (90-96) regular flex 14 K M…cap and blind cap are a brown so dark it looks black unless placed next to a black pen. SSB

Pelikan 605 regular flex 14 K BB, SSB

 

Reform piston 1745 steel regular flex Fine nib, SSB

Reform piston P-125 steel regular flex EF nib MB Toffee

 

 

Sheaffer Sentry Cartridge (‘80’s made by Sailor) steel Nail F-4 Fine nib, Waterman Florida Blue needled into the Sheaffer cartridge.

The older Sheaffer 3 nib cartridge calligraphy set, old Sheaffer blue.

Sheaffer Touch down Imperial 11, desk pen. 14 K Nail M, a mix of Lamy blue and a touch of Pelikan black

 

 

 

Nice Chinese black and chrome with no name pen.

Eduscho is a coffee bean shop, that sells a small wall of this and that. My wife bought me a black and chrome pen set, basically for the classy heavy shinny black plastic box, that matches my black glass and crystal Art Deco double ink well set. Has a chromed end piece, that when posted looks like a small ring. A dither piece, do I sell it, or keep it. Sharp looking pen. Regular flex steel M nib, a Diamine cartridge red ink.

 

Brown amber German ‘50s style Cheap no name, steel M nib, got as part of a lot. Inked with a different red Diamine cartridge to see if it writes well. OK but not worth keeping.

 

Last and least, a very beautiful S.J. Dupont steel “18K” nibbed nail, counterfeit, a few drops of Pelikan blue still in it.

 

4 dip pens, a regular and three flexible nibs, one a Soennecken Wet Noodle, all steel.

      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
    • adamselene
      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
