Ive bought (but Im still waiting for it) a Ensso Piuma Black Aluminum with a black nib. A cool stealth black pen!
Have not had time to photograph them yet. I added a Wahl-Oxford, very nice writer. I have an Eversharp, Skyliner in Army Brown with a gold cap.

Another "Fire and Coal" celluloid pen branded: Hamilton.
Would be a great match for Hamilton watch owners.

Oh no! That's not fair - look at the pens all those "gilded" sellers (as I call them) have on ebay! - For example, one of them got £157 for a Waterman's 513 last week - and it was fitted with a W3 nib... On the same day I got £111 for my beautiful L205/62!
Perhaps I'll retire too!

As you know I have a W3 and a W5; lovely pens but £157? I think mine cost a third of that or less.
Some days, it's hardly worth chewing through the leather straps....

It's been a while so I actually have a few pens I've picked up over the last several months. Two pleasantly surprising Faber Castell pens, an ebony Classic and a coconut wood Ambition. I hadn't tried the brand before but now wish I had previously. I've also picked up two Kara's Kustom pens, an Ink in tumbled aluminum and a Delrin Fountain K. Both are pretty nice as well.
My Pinterest Feel free to add me on Facebook as well.

A trip to Vanves flea market at the weekend - not as good as usual, lots of very broken pens, but found a nice large French red mottled celluloid lever filler, a French Parker (looks like Slimfold/Duofold, but it's a button filler with just 'Parker France' stamped on the barrel - unfortunately the nib is a replacement), and a lovely little Edacoto red ripple lever filler.
No ten euro Pelikan 100s though....
I haven't taken any photos, but my latest acquisition is a yellow Waterman Charleston

Really good to see folks interested and buying older vintage pens!

This isn’t my latest acquisition, however it has remained inked and in use since May 2015 when I acquired it. It’s a Swan with a #6 nib.
