Sometime ago I did a pen review for the Colorado Pen company. Since then they have been sending me emails about their specials and offers. Imagine my surprise and excitement when I saw the title of my latest missive "Visconti Wall Street only $179". Now even with the current extreme low value of the CAN$ that is still under CAN$300, so I opened the email and was immediately disappointed to see that this was for a ball pen.

I had the opportunity to use one once when my friend had to go to hospital and he asked me to clean his pens, and since then I have had a bit of a bug about them. I think it is very cruel to tease me like this. It leaves me frustrated and disappointed.

Chatterly Luxuries sometimes has sales on the Wall Street. Are you wanting the Wall Street or the Wall Street LE? I did end up getting one from Bryant when it was on sale. Visconti puts out pretty pens but they do cost.

I saw an email about the new aluminum ones and thought oh, maybe a lower priced Visconti, because I thought of the Lamy Al-Star.

Nope. MSRP $695, but $455 from Bryant. I won't be getting one.

Rusty888 does your Wall Street take the toppers? My brother has one in the 200s number area and it does not. I have one in the high 500s and it does take the toppers.

I'm mid 500s. Honestly I keep meaning to check it out. I think it does from looking for it but never had a magnet around to check. Must get onto it.

What's the easiest way you found taking the top off?
