This is a bit of a strange request... Could somebody post pictures of really really cool looking orange fountain pens? (I tried looking up for them with not much results)

 

I just LOVE spending hours and hours (I know) just looking at pictures of fountain pens and drooling over them. I don't know what's up with my current obsession with orange fountain pens, but I would love to see some pictures (please include the pen names)

 

Thank you in advance!!!

The TWSBI Vac 700 is called amber, but I think it's pretty orange-y. Here's mine:

I have the orange Lamy Safari too, but I can't seem to find a picture. I'll try to snap one later. :thumbup:

 

I've actually been thinking about getting another orange pen. Maybe an Edison in orange ebonite. I love orange; reminds me of fall leaves. :)

Jotting down first impressions:

 

  • It is substantial. It is almost 6" in length, and the acrylic is thick. Weight is similar to that of a MB146.
     
  • The bands are plastic, as are the threads. But, they are well-machined.The cap/section screw tightly onto/into the barrel. No wiggling. No gaps. The thinner bands are flush with the cap.
     
  • The orange acrylic is nice - bright, slightly translucent in places, and much as I detest the word, a bit shimmery.
     
  • It comes with a converter - friction fit, secure, above average capacity, with a ball inside to prevent tension.
     
  • The nib is large, like the rest. It is firm and fine, reasonably smooth out of the box. No skipping or other issues.

The Visconti Rembrandt I have is a beautiful, swirly orange. The photo I'm using (from Amazon) shows its shade more accurately than my cellphone pic:

Gsteer - that's a beautiful collection of orange pens.

 

How do you like the Ipsilon? I've had my eye on one for a while.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice; damn

There goes that fox again.

Thanks :)

 

Guilty admission time - the Ipsilon is uninked. I picked it up last year when a UK vendor had a very nice sale on, and, apart from getting to Canada haven't used it as yet.

 

It'll be inked this year though as I'm 'finally' getting around to my Blue vs Orange pen / ink battle, so at that point they'll be a full review.

 

I'm getting better though, it's only one of two (I think!) uninked pens I've got.

Not the best picture, I'm afraid. But after I got rid of my TWSBI 540 Amber last week, this my my only orange pen.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
