Ooo, shiiinyyyy!

 

Now I don't feel so bad about the number of pens I own.  Being far too lazy to assemble and shoot them, I have a Chartres Blue Platinum 3776, a couple or three blue Sailors, Lamys, Pelikans, Sheaffers, Parkers, Wing Sung piston fillers, NoNami pens, and Jinhao.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

@AmandaWPardon my ignorance, BUT What is this? A Pelikan?

And this looks like a TWSBI, but how come it has a plastic grip section and an aluminum piston? Some limited edition or just something I don't know about?

If your car has them, make sure to change your timing belts every 80-100,000 miles. (Or shorter if specified in the manual)

Probably one of my most favorite Blue Pens - Custom made Parker 51 in Blue Pearl...

A close runner-up in Blue Shimmer - a Bexley material...  matching jewels and ink pump rod.

Pen on the bottom looks like one of my Wing Sung piston-fillers.  Great pens for the money.

Those Wing Sung piston fillers look really cool. I need to go looking for one soon.

That pen is a Pelikan M805 ‘Ocean Swirl’ - it was the LE pen for 2018.

Useful info about it can be found here.

 

I think that it is beautiful, but its lack of any kind of ink window/translucency puts me off from buying it, because I wouldn’t be able to tell how much ink I have left in the pen.
My wallet breathes a sigh of relief 😉

Foul in clear conditions, but handsome in the fog.

Yes, a Pelikan M205 Petrol Marble.

 

And a Wing Sung 3008

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Is that a planet on it?

 

Yes - the red planet is Jupiter.  There are also smaller various colored orbs around the body of the pen - I assume to represent other planets or moons or whatever.

Good guess. Another clue: my pen budget doesn't stretch any further than M200s...

Um, what is Clear Candy?  The Snoopy pen (I have three) is a fountain pen. I think it is M&G Stationery, from several years ago. 
 

I got out the packaging. That should help us. I got them in 2015.

I found the original post where I found out about the Snoopy fountain pen. Someone mentions the Sailor Clear Candy.  Now I have to search for that to see what it looks like. 
 

Ah, yes, I can see why the Snoopy pen looks like the Sailor Clear Candy. The star topper is the main difference, because the Snoopy pen has a rounded point star a la Montblanc thus Snoopblanc. Pity the pen is no longer available that I could find in a short time of searching.

They look alike, I think, but I recognize the brand of your Snoopy from my forays through AliExpress. The Clear Candy was from around the same time. It was probably the hot pen design of that time. It’s super cute and that post was fun to read.

I like that Pen BBS one! I have a similar No  Nonsense,  mine has a rubber section that leaks- I need to fix it.

I have the Turquoise dot, but couldn’t decide if it was blue. Guess I should have included it by the “Mint Blue” TWSBIs.

      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
