What is your latest pen acquisition?

[Chrissy]

Snatched this one from our very own mhosea. The nib is just incredible!

That's a very good looking Vacumatic. I am quite envious of your writing. Please tell us what is that ink? I see some super shading particularly around the dot over the "i" in Vacumatic

Man! Wish I could find a nib like that. I had one Vacumatic, a standard golden pearl. Real user grade too, but it was by far the best fitting pen (to my hand) that I have yet used. Lost somewhere in the US now, alas. Never had the courage to buy another.

Thank you. It's Pelikan Turquoise.

Nathan had an interesting youtube video in advance of the show that described the inks coming to the show. Good for you getting a few and the Dixie nib. How do you like the inks?

I am enjoying the inks, they have the consistency of Noodlers black and the favorite is King Philip.

Thank you for letting us know. It just goes to show that inks don't have to be expensive to be beautiful.

How does that compare with Omas Turquoise ?

Below are pictures of my Franklin-Christoph Amber-Orange & Cinnamaroon 02 (mentioned above) next to an Emerald Ice 02. I didn't receive my Tiger Red 20 yet because the Masuyama stub I chose for it is out of stock. The pictures aren't good, but I hope give a better idea of the what the amber-orange material looks like. I didn't actually know it featured an iced cap and barrel when I bought it. I don't think that information was given in F-C's listing. The amber orange pen doesn't have its converter in the barrel. The second picture was taken with the flash on. One interesting detail is that the four diamonds on the clip of the amber-orange are larger and take up more of the clip than those on the clip of the emerald ice pen.

Thanks for posting. I just received my Amber/Orange p66 (a prototype) and indeed, the barrel and cap are more Peach/Apricot than Amber/Orange... After eyedropper-filling with Diamine Oxblood, however, I am thoroughly happy with the pen, not to mention its super-smooth Masuyama cursive italic nib!

My set of Varsities finally arrived.

I wonder how long I can keep a hold of them this time without giving them away to folks who want to try fountain pens.

Spread the love I say!

This one arrived yesterday morning from Sean Nicholson. Parker Duofold Junior Lucky Curve WITH curve feed fully intact. A fully mint pen. Great writer with a nice bit of flex for some line variation.

A Pilot Kakuno. Right now my best ten-dollar pen, and I have some good ones.

I love my Kakuno.

Is there an existing thread on Cheap Pens We Love? I have a soft spot for cheap pens.

Just picked this up at the London Pen Show. Handmade by Twiss pens (usual rubbish photos).

It's very busy at work at the moment but when things calm down I'll certainly do my best.
