It is related with voting to confirm federal budget?

 

Sadly, no.

First, and only, new pen of the year so far is a little P20 cartridge pen from 1989. Not here yet, but I will try to remember to take pictures when it arrives. Don't know why I love those little school pens.

Since we seem to be in confession mode, here's mine: it took me all of 7 days to buy the first bird of the year.

 

Not my fault, mind you, since I wasn't even looking.

But my wife found a NOS M800 B (two chicks) that I couldn't pass - I looked for a reasonably priced one for almost 4 years!

I can't wait to receive t!

That didn't take long!

After it arrives, I hope that you'll like writing with it.

Happy hunting in 2019!

To think that such a nicely designed fountain pen was offered as a school pen.

After it arrives by stagecoach in Rattlesnake Junction, I'll be looking forward to the daguerreotypes!

:D will do Tom! And I may try for a group shot, if everyone promises not to laugh... collecting all the P10 and P20 models is rather the Pelikan equivalent of Beanie Baby collecting.

Hi Tom, good to see you in the Pelikan side!

 

The pen has arrived, but I haven't inked it yet.

 

Happy hunting for you too!

Sadly, I have had to cancel my order for the Pelikan Herzstück. The vendor apparently had been given an erroneous price by Pelikan, and I would have had to pay an additional €330 for the pen. I wasn't willing to do that. I don't believe this was the vendor's fault. The company has a fine reputation.

I couldn't resist Dan Smith's sale price for the M600 Vibrant Orange. It should be delivered in 2 days.

:lol:

I don't think I have one of those, but I picked up a 1980s era Pelikano last spring at the Baltimore-Washington Show, and it's a great little pen.

Looking forward to seeing the group shot. Oh, and I pick up "Scoop the Pelican" Beanie Babies if I can find them for a buck or two, to give out to people. ;)

Won't be getting the Herzstück, but did win an auction for an M620 Stockholm that arrived just in time for my birthday. I now have what I think are the most beautiful M620s, the Grand Place, the Piazza Navona, the Athens, and now the Stockholm.

Writing with my Pelikan Grand Place M800 today! Love it. My next one should be in May when I am planning on 12 days in Germany/Austria!

My first Pelikan purchase of the year is actually not a pen. Just won the auction for an official 24 pen Pelikan pen case which will come handy further down the road (currently have my Pelikans stored in various smaller cases, the biggest one being a 10 pen Pelikan case). It will be nice to have all of them in one place and keep the rest of the cases for storing my EDC pens and so forth.

Wow. These are really the most beautiful City series pens. Personally I would add Shanghai to this quartet.

I could not resist and bought an LE M800 Blue Ocean. Overall demonstrators are not my preference, but Blue Ocean is the first from M800 LE and has old style broad nib, which are more consistent vs modern pelikan nibs. Pen was used and in average condition, but after thorough cleaning and polishing..it looks much better. Inked with MB for BMW, which I got as sample.

Barutti, that IS a great pen. I'm not usually a fan of demonstrators either, but I'd make an exception for that one. Nice nib too. Well done.

Tempting thoughts...

No Pelikans so far in 2019 (calm down, January isn't even over yet!)

However the list of candidates is long

M600 Vibrant Orange

M800 Stone Garden

M101N Lizard (stil looking for it...)

vintage is always tempting...

 

and then also Joshua said Pelikan will be out with a new M101N in the series...

 

some planning is needed...

 

PS

I just saw a 1005 is out...

Thanks! I hope to find a Shanghai someday. And congratulations on your Blue Ocean. I found one last year with an O3B nib. They are magnificent pens.

      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
