What Do You Have Inked?

Recommended Posts

I have always enjoyed this topic, but didn't see one currently. What Pelikan, nib, and ink are you writing with today?

 

I am using a 1933 grey Pelikan 100, with fine semi-flex nib, and Akkerman Groenmarkt Smaragd (green),

a 1948 grey Pelikan 100N, with a semi-flex broad italicized by Pendleton Brown, and Noodler's Couleur de Roi,

an M600 green striped, with italic broad by Pendleton Brown, and Iroshizuku Asa Gao, and

an M800 black, with an italic medium nib by Pendleton Brown, and Noodler's Blue Steel, from Dromgooles.

All are superb.

I'm a one pen at a time guy. My current carry is;

 

Pelikan M450 Green Vermeil Tortoise with a wonderful 18C-750 medium nib inked with Rohrer & Klingner's Alt-Goldgrun. Wonderfully smooth and springy nib that's a pleasure to write with.

This is in Pelikan so I will ignore the other two pens (which are vintage Aurora, quoth he, promptly breaking his promise).

 

My only inked Pelikan is the M900 with fine nib, sporting good old Waterman blue-black aka Mysterious Blue. I don't have a lot of options. There is only one other Pelikan in my trays and I am unlikely to be buying more because the M800 and M900 do it all for me without need for smaller or larger ones.

Yesterday was a pen cleaning day, so the only Pelikans left inked are a little Black P200 EF with Edelstein Garnet (for Sunday morning sermon notes in the margin) and a wonderful Black M800 IB with 4001 Blue Black. Man, I do love that one!

 

I'm sure by the end of the week I'll have inked up a couple more and re-inked a Montblanc or two :lol:

At the moment I have two Pelikans inked up.

The M405 Stresemann has Akkerman Dutch Masters Ruisdael's Stormachtig Blauw -- a very interesting color which looks either purple toned or (non-teal) blue black, depending on the paper -- and which looks great coming out of the B nib on the pen.

The 1990s M400 Brown Tortoise, F nib, is currently sporting Edelstein Smoky Quartz. I think I'm going to have to spring for a second bottle before that LE ink goes away....

I have a number of pens that are ready to be cleaned and put back in the box, not all of these are Pelikans.

 

Of the Pelikans in ink I have:

 

1. My standard desk writer, a blue stripe M600, Motishaw B Stub w/a home brew Teal, recipe provided to me by Migo, a color I really like (Go Hawks!).

 

2. A red 70's era Pelikano, wonderful writer that never dries out - that redish ink of the the year a couple years ago (Tanzanite?) this is my bathroom journal pen (WT,BP, Pulse meds etc)

 

3. A 50's era 400 Brown Tortoise BB-Stub by Motishaw - inked with the current ink of the year, smokey brown or what is it? Thanks to an ink exchange w/BillH.

 

4. A 1940's vintage 101 brown tortoise with a flexible somewhat stubbish original nib.

 

5. A M101N lizard, Motihaw B-stubbed nib, inked with J Herbine Perle Noire, - the only black ink to have.

 

I will clean and put away the last two.

EDC pens:

Pelikan 100N (post WWII)
- green binde with an EF nib (semi-flex). Might swap that to something else though as it doesn't feel like fun for some reason atm.

 

Pelikan 140
- Black, earlier model M nib (semi-flex). One of my best writers, fun nib even though it is just a pedestrian M sized nib... smooth with great line variation.

 

Pelikan 140
- More of the same, the merrier.... Black, later model M nib (semi-flex). Not as flexible as the earlier one, fun still.

 

Also a bunch of other pens including a wonderful 1.1mm italic (Jowo) by Woodshed Pen Co. and a Parker 51 Aerometric with a nice and wet M/B-nib.

      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

      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
