I got 4 Swan Mabie Todds pens
*One completely refurbished and Three need to be rework and clean back to normal.
IMG_0201.jpg
*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.

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.

I sense the beginning of a "mini-collection"!
Just arrived. This is an older version of the Platinum Jade. Only the nib is different.

Nice pen!

Sheaffer Gold Tube Snorkel.png
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 bought a Sheaffer Imperial Gold pen, Fine tipped pen. I am still waiting that to come to me next week.
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.
