What Pen did you clean out today?

[MarcoA63]

I cleaned out this Conklin Endura big

 

[Zookie]

That's a beautiful pen and ink combination!

[Penguincollector]

Coincidentally, I am cleaning out a Conklin Endura lapis ring top, as well as a Wing Sung 698 SF.

@MarcoA63 -- I had been wondering what Diamine Sherwood Green was like as a color.  

Now I know (of course, my wallet will be complaining vociferously -- four pens at an estate sale last weekend, another one in the mail from eBay, and I just sent off a check for repairs on some pens that I accidentally left at someone's table at the Baltimore/Washington Pen Show in March (plus getting the case they were in back).  And, of course OTHER bills to be paid before the end of the month -- including the paperwork to renew the registration on both of our vehicles -- complicated by the fact that we were just sent a replacement license plate for one of them: we'd already had that happen for the other one a few years ago, after a "bad" batch of license plates were made... (and of course, PennDot -- in its infinite wisdom [that's sarcasm, BTW] -- only sent us ONE registration card with the new plate number...).

Just cleaned out a Pilot CH 912 <SF>, an orange Parker Duofold Junior, and, if this counts, the Esterbrook Dollar Pen I put back together and tested this morning... which, finally, leaves me an open spot on the roster! [rubs hands together eagerly]

  Today my Cross Spire F and my Kaweco Sport Twin nib needed cleaning. 

[RedPie]

Pelikan M200 Café Crème, it was inked with Noodler's Walnut for the longest time.

Not today, but then the Sheaffer Triumph wasn’t cleaned yesterday, it just gushed ink out next to the piston rod.  Not a pen to fill-and-forget.

[Penguincollector]

Today it was the Pilot Custom 74 music, an Osmiroid B4, and a round barreled Lamyesque EF pen from five below. 

[Waverly]

Cleaned out the yellow Lamy Safari (broad) from Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown and refilled it with Graf von Faber-Castell Hazelnut Brown  🤎 

[inkstainedruth]

So far today it's been the Noodler's Methuselah Pine Cone Ripple ebonite Konrad, finishing up a fill of what had been diluted Noodler's Prairie Flax).

Trying to decide if I think (this late in the afternoon, since it's after 4 PM EDT here, and I've been up since 6 AM) I'm up for trying to flush anything else out today....

This Sheaffer Targa. Now I have three inked: a Sailor 1911L, a Waterman Expert, and a Lamy Studio.

[Misfit]

I’ve been cleaning a couple a day. I cleaned two Kaweco Sport pens a few days ago. Now I’m cleaning a Lamy Joy, and another Kaweco Sport pen. 

[jchch1950]

A KAWECO Student, white with a blue cap, who behaved terribly on the plane trip. Ink all over the section and cap.

[MarcoA63]

The Onoto Prospero ran out of ink so I cleaned it out.

 My MontBlanc Starwalker ran dry on me as well, mid calligraphy practice.

  Yes, very much so. Luckily, it was just capital letter practice, so I inked up an Osmiroid with a B4 nib and soldiered on.  

[Misfit]

Cleaned two Monteverde Mountains of the World pens. 

[Bo Bo Olson]

1988/pre-97 Marbled Grey... Silver Pearl....OM. (Thanks to Pelikan Perch for his normal grand info I know when it first came out.)

It had been in my cleaned pens, but wasn't quite as clean as expected...

 

I've read Diamine Chocolate Brown, shades, so wanted a regular flex nib, and wanted M, in that IMO gives better shading than F.

..................

It's not a shade monster, but is there on Oxford Optic90g and slightly darker on Clairefontaine Triomphe 90g.

It is a bit more subtle than I care for, but there is enough shading to make the script look a bit more lively.
