Blue Pen Club- Show Me Your Blue Pens!

[Misfit]

I got a blue pen delivered today. It is the Conklin Heritage Word Gauge with 1.1mm stub nib. It looks like blue sky and clouds to me. The ink is Levenger Blue Bahama.

It does!  Very pretty.

@Misfit, that’s a beautiful pen! 1.1 stub, I’m guessing?

[Misfit]

Why yes of course a 1.1mm stub nib. I do try with other sizes. I just love the 1.1mm stub and italic nibs.

Your new pen is an invitation to dream, blue sky and clouds . 😄

  I agree, they’re amazing and make every little thing you write look fancy.

Nice scores, @Bisquitlips! Is that one of the Levenger Sheaffer Balances?  The turquoise (Vista?) 61 is one of the pens that I really would love to have one day.

The Shaeffer looks fantastic!!! @Bisquitlips

@Misfit, I saw the blue word gauge stub at half price on Amazon and added it to my order.

@Penguincollector I hope you like it. It’s a piston filler

Beautiful pen1 What would you say, Misfit ,would be the percentage of piston fillers in your collection?

 

Maybe I should star another thread here, let me know what you all think, late here, tired.

[Misfit]

Well, the six Pelikan pens are piston fillers, plus three Visconti pens, and the one Delta pen I own. I’d say I have eleven. That would be not very many of my pens. Most are converter pens.

Thanks for responding, Misfit.

  What about the TWSBIs?

  Thank you, I hope I do as well.  It’s funny how I still have the Explorer saved for later on my cart, but bought this one right away. Sometimes pens speak to you.

[Misfit]

@Penguincollector How could I forget the TWSBI pens? I sure did. Just shows those questions should be answered after a night’s sleep. 
 

I had to tell myself the Conklin Heritage Word Gauge pen would not look like the Amazon photo, so I wouldn’t be disappointed if it looked like every other seller’s photos. I was pleasantly happy to see the “clouds” on mine.

 Mine gets here today, so we’ll see if I get a cloudy or sunny one soon.

 Here’s my new Conklin Word Gauge stub. It’s reminds me of the Caribbean Sea, but also a sky with little fluffy clouds.  @Misfit and I are pen twins. 👯 I just cleaned it with some dish soap and it will go in the rotation queue. I’m excited to see how this stub nib compares with my other ones. 

[Misfit]

@Penguincollector hi there Pen Twin. I’m so glad yours has the clouds. Maybe the photo I saw online was used several times, and is the outlier. 
 

What ink will you put in yours?  I used Levenger Blue Bahama.
