new oldtimer from R.I.

Hello all!

Just joined this forum today... see how it goes! Im a (senior) software project manager and have been using FPs for some years now. My collection is not large but it is varied, I have at least one of each: Waterman, Parker, Sheaffer, Pelikan, Montblanc (not my favorite) and Montegrappa.

My all time favorite is a Pelikan M800 - Medium Point - black and green with the old-style gold dot and gold pelican at the ends.

The montegrappa has a story all by itself, it is an 8-faceted 0.925 sterling silver. And, I think, the jewel of the collection is the M750 Pelikan 150yrs jubilee silver filigree.

A couple of vintages: a sheaffer snorkel that belonged to my dad, I restored it from being stuck to fully functional; and an Esterbrook I used way back in my elementary school days; it is now missing the clip and the cap is chipped but pen is working.

so much for an introduction...

flowing inks to everyone!
