What's Your Favorite Yellow Pen?


truthpil

Recommended Posts

Hello again to all my FPN friends,

 

One of the interesting things for me about this hobby is how easily and suddenly my preferences for a particular design or color can change. I never use yellow for anything other than highlighting and previously would have thought something like a yellow pen to be tasteless or just plain weird. Then I saw these:

Penbbs 308 Mango Yellow

 

After seeing these beauties, something in my head snapped and I knew I must have an audacious and bold yellow pen!

Sadly, the WS is a limited edition with an inconvenient filling system and the Penbbs 308 won't work for me for other reasons.

Now the hunt is on.

 

What's your favorite yellow pen?

The Pilot Prera. It was one of the first pens I bought. Unfortunately, I accidentally stepped on it. Poor little guy...

 

You may also look into the Lamy Safari, the CdA 849, or the Montegrappa Parola (a lot pricier).

 

edit: did a quick googling and there are actually A LOT of yellow pens around!

Kaweco Student, Sailor Pro Gear and 1911, Aurora Ipsilon, Talentum....

 

I never thought bold colors would be so popular. Interesting.

Does the Conklin Duragraph in Amber count?

 

It's kind of more on the orange side, but I guess it could pass. ;)

Wow, I had no idea there was a yellow penman out there. Thanks! :thumbup:

 

Here's another gorgeous yellow pen, Lingmo Lorelei in honey yellow:

I don't actually have a lot of yellow pens -- I'm not big on the color for some reason (even though I LOVE yellow flowers) although I do have a few vintage pens with gold-filled overlays. But for actually yellow? I have a couple of vintage Arnolds -- a mini-pen and a pen/pencil combo (both of which need to be restored) and a Parker Vector which I would call "goldenrod" in color. So, I'd have to say that for yellow (as opposed to gold) the Vector would be my favorite yellow pen.... :rolleyes:

A 'Pikachu' (yellow with black trim) Lamy Safari, and a vintage Sheaffer No Nonsense.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Unless you count a M200 Cognac as yellow - I don't.

 

I don't have one and the above is the closest I have.

This Pelikan, a stick-type cheapie school pen with a folded nib. The nib exhibited skipping/railroading but after tinkering with it a bit I've gotten it to write somewhat reliably and it's currently inked with KWZ Honey.

Contrary to Parker, Sheaffer seems to have had several yellow pens in the past. The yellow No Nonsense and Cartridge (aka "School") pens look pretty classy.

That's a nice in-your-face true yellow!

Parker Centennial Limited Edition in yellow.

 

:puddle: :puddle: :puddle:

 

 

Looking at the pens mentioned so far, it's interesting to see how many are really expensive pens.

I guess yellow is pretty hip after all!

+1.

 

I also like the yellow versions of the Pelikan Toledo (M910 and M710).

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I know the feeling.

 

What's your favorite yellow pen?

My only yellow pen (I decided to concentrate on awkward orange pens) - a Baoer 801. You could spot it in a completely darkened room.

Uh oh....sounds like yet another path I may head down soon. Awkward orange sounds like something right up my alley.

      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

      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
