So how many Pelikans do you have?

[Lady Onogaro]

I got my first Pelikan last month (the M200 Demonstrator), and I love it. So far, I have found an excuse to write with it every day.

[Bogon07]

Sadly my only one is not even a pen ...... Pelikan Edelstein Aventurine ink.

Wow, JustDaveyB that is an impressive expanding collection of Pelikan M620s.

An alarming expansion to add a bottle of Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite and a M101n Lizard.
But not anything like JDB's.

Pelikan Edelstein Amber & a Pelikan M620 Place de la Concorde.

Just one, a Pel 100 I picked up for almost nothing, and which has just got a new CN nib to replace its broken one.

I don't like modern Pelikans all that much. But the vintage one has got me hooked. Now I want more...


EDIT - Oh, I fibbed. I have two lovely little pelikanos. One bird, then, and two little chicks ... that reminds me of something I saw somewhere... wonder where?

Aside from the M800, most of the modern pens don't interest me much, but the old 100s and 400s are some of my favorite pens ever.

I have 4 Pelikan FPs now: the first nice FP I got was a Pelikan M215 F with the blue barrel, then a chance find (antique shop) terrific M & K Pelikan 120 with EF nib, then recently a Pelikan M600 F Ruby Red Limited Edition, then a couple days ago another M215 Rings F. Those M215s are just about the perfect pen for me. I love the little bit of extra heft they have over the non-metal Pelikans.

I have a black M1000 and my wife has one also.

[amk]

Just added two Pelikans to my collection - both Pelikan Graphos, the earlier ones, both with a quite large selection of different nibs. I wonder what the odds are against finding two in a single weekend of car boot sales? :-)

The current flock, in rough order of production:
140
P1
MK10
M20
M30
P15
P488
120 (M&K)
Signum P530
New Classic P381
Future P55
Souverän M600

...plus diverse Pelikanos (Junior or not) and my son's Griffix ensemble. A Level 5 should be appearing sometime soon, if the Italian postal system hasn't devoured it (the tracking shows it was mailed... rather a long time ago).

[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

[welch]

More than I need:

- 120 steel nib
- 140 gold ball nib
- M100 (the all white with black-painted steel nib)
- 400NN (currently using a Binderized M600 medium nib. I know...Rick Propas would object, but it had a scratchy semi-flex nib)
- M200 steel medium nib
- M600 striated green Binderized medium nib
- M605 all blue Binderized M400 medium nib (the 400 nib feels handier in the 600 body)

[shellseeker]

I really love my Pelikans, and I have-

m205 White medium nib
m205 Black medium nib
m400 White Tortoise medium nib
400 SE Brown Tortoise fine nib
-and I have a special one that I have put away, only to open when I have achieved a fitness goal . So I will name it someday, when I have reached that goal. I know everyone will be on pins and needles!

[gclyn]

I have two M800s one blue and one tortoise shell...would like to add the green M1000 in the near future and a white tortoise shell M400

[Polyhistor]

I have no more than two M200s, but I've been lusting after a white/tortoise M400 for a looong time. There's something about this particular combination of colors/materials ...

[FayeV]

I have 5 so far:

M205 red EF
M205 taupe EF
M205 white F
M200 black I
M205 white I

... and am l̶u̶s̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ contemplating the M400 white tortoise in EF.

[whych]

I have 4 Pelikans....

-M205 White w/ EF nib
-M600 Pre-'97 w/ F nib
-M600 Post-'97 w/ EF nib
-M20 Silvexa w/ EF nib

Amazing how they multiplied in 2 years to take in all the M2XX and M1XX variations!

Wow! That was April 28th, 2013 that I posted that. A little over two years later and I'm up to 105 birds.

[VertOlive]

I'm now the proud owner of my first (and only) vintage 1950's M400. Tortoise with broad 14kt nib; I wish I had more info about it--the feed is vertical instead of horizontal. Never dreamed a pen could write like this!

[fqgouvea]

Three Pelicans. So far. I need to stay away from piscov's site, or I'll end up with more!

Right now, I have two Pelikan fountain pens: a P200 and a Pharo. The Pharo doesn't seem to write as well as I remember (I got it a long time ago), but I like the P200. I might consider getting other Pelikans in the future, especially since the P200 is a little small for me. I don't have a big problem with it, but I think I prefer pens that are a bit longer.

Pelikans are designed to be used with the cap posted. If you post the cap on the P200, you will have a full length pen.
