Inkshades Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi! I’m fairly new to the fountain pen hobby, I bought an AL Star last December because I wanted a more sustainable alternative to the pens I’d been using all my life. Then my dad and my step-dad both gifted me old pens they own but hadn’t used in years, so I’m currently going through them all and cleaning and identifying them. My collection currently consists of half the AL Star (my mum threw away the nib section and converter I was cleaning by mistake), a late 60s Parker 45, a Waterman Lauréat, two Parker IMs (one brand new I got as a present for Christmas) and another currently unidentified vintage Parker pen. There are other pens I have yet to clean and go through, although not all their pens are now mine. I own three colours of ink, each in a 50ml bottle: LAMY blue, LAMY black and Waterman Tender Purple.
