So how many Pelikans do you have?

[DASEFnib]

Being a newbie, I have zero. But my dream pen is the Pelikan M200 Cafe Creme. Maybe some day...

The Cafe creme was my FIRST Pelikan.....it WASN'T my LAST......!!
After the Holidays (and my credit card is "breathing" again.....!!) I've got an M800 Burnt Orange "flying in"!!
Don't know how scarce the Cafe Creme will become....IIRC, it was a Limited Edition" (??) I could be wrong.....but check around -- you may be pleasantly surprised!

Always try to get the dibs....on fountain pens with EF nibs!!

[bluefeathers]

Up to...11. Selling two rollerballs currently, which would bring me down to 9.

[bluesea]

Haven't got one, haven't even ever seen one. Probably never will.

Is that because you're only interested in calligraphy, or you're already settled on preferences for a good working pen?

The Pelikan 400 is for my hand not the best ergonomically, but its still the best daily writer I have.

[nusiax]

I have a M1000 Medium 24 carat gold nib green stripe. Great pen.

[dixiehellcat]

Got my first Pelikan today! it's an Epoch, cream and silver. Very pretty and writes very well. Knitting a cozy for it now so I can carry it in my purse without it getting scrapes.

[Runnin_Ute]

Am up to four now. In order of acquisition:

120 Merz & Krell with EF
M205 in Toledo Red with M
M150 in Black with M
M205 in Black with F

No longer have any of these four. They were in a pen roll, and fell out somewhere. Lost. That was in June 2015. Along with a Parker 51 Special set and a two Parker 45's. (one a 14k nibbed Flighter)

At present, I have three. They are:

M200 old style blue marbled with OB nib
M200 Cognac fine nib
120 Type II/Merz & Krell (black) medium - even though some of the gold plating on the cap band is worn off, it is in really good shape and I got it for a sumgai price.

[TAYLORPUPPY]

Just one.

[nusiax]

I have just one. A daily driver. M1000 green striped with 24 ct medium nib.

Use it daily.

I'm rather lucky. My mother has been introduced to The Writing Desk and Pelikan Pens UK and now knows that pelikans are really acceptable for birthdays and christmas. And I've also managed to buy a few vintage 400s for very cheap prices given their small restoration needs (a bit of piston work and a little nib straightening).

So now I'm up to fifteen, I think, including my Pelikanos - still much loved even though I have their big brothers.

[GuttSchrift]

6 -- now that I've counted. Though I'm going to add another very soon as a gift to myself for a recent promotion at work (m101 Red Tortoise to complete the trio I have.)

m1000 black, F
m800 SE Tortoise, BB
m600 Green o'Green SE, M
m101n Brown Tortoise, B
m101n Lizard, F
m250 Burgundy/Red, M

Love every single one and would have to be really pressed to give any of them up.

C.

[catbert]

Just one - a 400NN.

[SeminarianMike]

I have 3 but i desperately want more lol! I have my favorite pen, a Green striped M800 with an EF nib, a M805 with a Fine nib, and a M200 with an EF Nib I want to save up for a M1000 EF Next!

[nusiax]

Only 1. M1000 Green Striped Medium 24ct nib.

[Pentode]

Three now:
An early '90s M600 in green stripe
Two early '90s Pelikanos - one red and one blue.

Would love a brown 400 at some point.

[bluesea]

Both 50's Pelikan and neither babied, a 400nn ef and a brassy 140 ef. Not flex pens obviously but both with a nice bit of give, the 400 more than the 140.

Recently sold a 400nn om, a favorite, and am looking for a 400 Tortoise om to replace it.

[Blastmaster1972]

I got 2 so far... M600 and M800 "Grand Place". I definitely need more. At least another M800, and that new retro M120 looks very tempting too...



(The doodles will probably only make sense to Discworld fans... )

Kind regards,

Jos

[katherine]

Two! A black striated 400NN and a green 140. I keep being tempted by Pelikans... Both new and old, I'm very proud that I've managed to keep my flock to two.

[fountainpagan]

Two.
My first fountain pen, received when I was 5, a basic Pelikan 120, gold coated nib, and an M150.
