Yay! My Montblanc highlighter finally arrived from the UK. The Plastic is s a bit scratched, but it's fine for everyday carry:

From the box, I'm guessing mid nineties?

Just added a Rollerball to my collection :) Just not any Rollerball :) The 75th Anniversary Solid 18K Gold 162 Le Grand Rollerball, which is limited to only 75 pieces :)

 

I also treated myself to a very nice German made watch, to go with the pen :)

My local B&M recently had some rebate on several NOS pens.

I could not resist a lonely little 145 ultra black.

Hi everyone - Tom Kellie is alive and well.



He and a friend were out enjoying the weather a couple of days ago and sent me these pictures.

Tom is an amazing photographer. I wanted to share with you some of his outstanding photography:

It seems many were out enjoying the day. Even the SWAT police need a break - even it is just to catch up with friends:

Tom and I both wish everyone to stay healthy and be well!

That's great news! Thanks 5Caveliers.

 

Now is probably not the best time to be buying second hand stuff from strangers on eBay, but I bought an MB Siena 3 pen pouch in burgundy which should be here next week. Now, I’ll have a black case for my black Legrand set and a burgundy to match my burgundy Legrandes. I’m weirdly satisfied by that.

In 2019 I bought a Hemingway from FPN member Henry Mosberg.

 

Today the Hemingway returned from a trip to Gary Lehrer with a broad nib in place of the extra fine.

 

Two fine gentlemen combined to make a perfect pen in hand.

Just placed an order for the 146 Martele. I have been contemplating this pen for a while, and the recent picture and comments pushed me over the edge, now I just have to wait for it to arrive...……….

What nib size did you get? Mine is a F nib (daily driver) and keep having second thoughts about getting an OB.

In the past 6 months, I bought the Blue Hour ballpoint and the ordinary black glossy Marc Newson (in M).

 

I am very happy with the Blue Hour (it sometimes easy to use a ballpoint - mainly if you have to sign a lot of documents and you don't want to take the time to wait for the ink to dry or to use a blotter) but I am not yet fully sure about the Marc Newson. The looks are stunning (imho) but I still have to get use to a different grip compared to other pens and thus a different writing experience.

And in the next 6 months, I reallyreallyreally want to buy the Martelé (in F). Really. It reminds me of my Mcusta Shinra Emotion Tsuchi pocketknive.

      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
