Hi!
Been a long time since I posted here. I won an ink PIF from Lady Onogaro many months back (June '15 I think). Have not posted much here since then. Life gets in the way, and I have many hobbies. I tend to catch fire with one for awhile, then another one sparks interest again.
Want to again thank Lady Onogaro for the inks; I am still enjoying them.
To the topic of this post!
There is a thrift store here locally I frequent a lot. They tend to have unique items from time to time that you don't see in most of them, like vintage Old Spice decanters, pens, lots of tools, etc.
I went in there last week, and found this for $3.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/uVWOAPkOvg_sGOel2cSUy_mprc0XydCz52CV6km-R6BUqXX_OpLQRXko-f13q0D5-7eNvhlXzDsWuNeiyTc0RI3BAiN4T0v70iyyChx2QwojZbnfLyU xuh3ZeztpQSnDJvzB8BxRA8cZtquy4F2vdzZpRpf6SZ7GMim8o 8z3xkG86nL1PGz5B1KEHMiMoCzle6ifkhB_3-J1_55dOhtmIvJAVuA9iG7ErPmQTsiGZnpaOgViQElZKkfhsIot DshIgXY4WSAeBaAr4LWBuWP4grCaeNi9LKyW7bXxeQFYIhV8YA Am6lN6lflK-y-ysspxxH4jSmEPvPn_Op_XiZ8-wVV1ko3Xt7JGnHloITi_xbpzYrIYRMcFIoLk52g8SVLPurBZaE jDYWCe5pvG7nyfflAlaVhhcnFXEdQ0X-8_is8_1UIsXkfAJEgTUYXyHQx50imiWOk77W1cHqLi_ndjzq3O G4B2Zv_nAGFHverLYkZsfCMEbVjwV-tNPz4_UAqQOLzM_NDywiIQ3kZrCKpJb5JA8CTTnD5vXpgNe0dC wLzQbq_ZOkUEu2JtoJycz6462Z3geNrUg1YVkYtQkYgPwiBGUP Ic9MoupP67ThJi84bwWL4z=w814-h610-no

Lamy Safari, Fine nib. No converter, but I have a Sheaffer cartridge in there right now. It works, but you can't completely screw the body of the pen down, which you can probably see in the second picture.
Pen writes wonderfully well. Super happy to own it, and it will pretty much be my EDC.

So I went in there again yesterday, and lookie what followed me home. :)

Lamy Studio fountain pen and Studio ballpoint. No converter, again, but I have converters and refills for the ballpoint that should be on their way from JetPens( ballpoint already has ink in it, but I don't know how much is in it, so I thought I'd pick up a couple more). Ballpoint is one of the best writing BPs that I have ever used.
Best part is I got both for $10!
I'm super happy! Thanks for looking.

Wow--That's a great find, Mike! Good for you!

And I am glad you are still enjoying the ink samples.

Thank you once again for them! Can't wait for my converters to get here!
