    I got 4 Swan Mabie Todds pens

    *One completely refurbished and Three need to be rework and clean back to normal.

    *One waterman's Ideals -56 USA .It is Immaculate in conditions as pristine Crisp chasing as New.
    But it has a unfortunate big large crack in the cap to cap lip. It closes Ok with the thread and it will be bigger more into large one in the time to come. The most beautiful EEF soft nib it has. Not suer what is my plan to get it fixed. I am going use is as dip pen and I am not a fussy Pe- friend .

    I was offered a good deal on a Medium nibbed blue Parker Slimfold and a blue Platinum BelAge F 14k on Valentine’s Day, so I took that offer. It matches the blue Telecaster I bought my husband.

    Beautiful pen! I have one with the broad nib on the way - a slightly older version. Hopefully it will arrive in a few days.

    I've got this 3 beauties:

    Esterbrook pencil 0.9mm
    Pelikan K400 BP
    Unknown grip cap actuated bp, possible a vintage Fisher-Space Cap-O-Matic





    I am interested to know if there are any other grid pattern ballpoint pens. The pens in the photo:
    Inoxcrom Sirroco Imperial
    Parker 75 Sterling Silver
    Unknown - Fisher-Space Cap-O-Matic?

    Other pens that I know, but I don't have them, with grid patter:
    Aurora Ipsilon Quadra and Fisher-Space AStronaut Grid

    Your Parker 75 Cisle with the cap-actuated mechanism was also offered in a button version, which I prefer.

    Stunning. I might have to add that one to my Chartres Blue and Bourgogne versions for a nice hat trick.

    Lovely. A few months ago I received a tortoise shell version from the same vintage, with that same nib. It's the little variations that can add interest.

    I just purchased a 1952 Sheaffer Valiant Snorkel with the gold tube. It came with the matching pencil in the original case with instructions.

    Bought from Will, arrived on Friday.
    Cap says "INK TRAP", unable to find any details beyond that. Beautiful red celluloid, he put a 14k Waterman nib in it.

    I'm a bit behind, but the story on my latest was... scroll, scroll, scroll... BAM!! Caught sight of this cute Esterbrook "Petite Pak" with case and original box, and a quick question to the seller confirmed that the nib in another blurry picture is a 9788 Flexible Medium "Master Point". I'm curious to compare to a similar set I have to see if I have examples of both blues that Estie made in the pastels, as they didn't make any greens (in the initial series). Will likely re-home one of the sets.
