I succumbed to the Pelikan Massdrop. I should have it sometime this Autumn.... (only half joking)

My fingers are always inky and I'm always looking for something new.  Interested in trading?  Contact me!

I know fountainpenlady has now received her beloved back (we've talked about it!). I, in turn, am semi-patiently awaiting a coffeeburl L16 from Ryan. He finished it Saturday, and I paid for it Saturday night. I hope to receive it by the end of the month, so I can use it as the last pen for my #30inks30Days challenge. Attached is Ryan's photo to me:

Not only do I have the aforementioned Krusac in the mail (tomorrow, or Friday, in my hands!), but I now have a Franklin-Christoph antique glass Model 65 coming, too (I lucked into their most recent wish list)! And there is a good chance I have a Sheaffer rollerball somewhere in transit - a friend bought it for me 2+ years ago, then promptly put it away for safekeeping and lost it until a couple of weeks ago.

 

It is a happy pen month for me!

What's a G5 nib? I don't know enough about Snorkels other than being able to ID what models I have (mostly Valiants and Admirals).

Technically no longer in the mail, it's just that my family signed for it while I'm out of town teaching at a writing workshop: an S. T. Dupont Phoenix Neo-Classique.

 

And really in the mail: a morning glory fountain pen by 18111 Pens.

Pilot Custom Heritage 91 in broad, take-sume (sp?) color. Super excited for this one. Can’t wait to fill it with Robert Oster Thunderstorm—my new favorite ink (iroshizuku tsuyu-kusa is a close second).

Vintage Jewel Fountain pen " ZIG ZAG" From London Jewel pen Co. I bought this Antique pen on a Sale at Ebay. :) It seems to be an amazing piece with a historic value.

Unused Platinum vintage pocket pen, 18k soft fine. This will make number 7 (and second gold nib) in my very small FP collection.

Wing Sung 237, the images are crazy beautiful. I'm a little worried that it might not look the same since it's coming from China and I never dealt with the dealer before. Secondly, it's NOS, I hope I don't need to replace the ink sac or anything because I have 0 Experience with vintage fountain pens. Really hope it goes ok.

I have ordered the same but with a MF nib in Tsuki-Yo colour. Cannot decide the ink for it though as I do not have any Iroshizuku inks yet.

Also, ordered a Platinum Oshino in broad last night.

      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..

      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

      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
