Just got myself a Mabbie Todd Blackbird eyedropper. So far it has been a little bit fiddly, but it is looking to be a great pen.
Hello, my name is Nathan. Pleased to make your aquaintance.

Loving trying out my new/old pens, a Wahl Eversharp, an Esterbrook 9128, an Eversharp Skyline, and the current winner, a Sheaffer New Balance...some of them are older than I am and still flexible, no wonder I like them!

What a great idea, a pen a day to match your outfit! I wonder if my husband will buy it?
I've never seen that Pelikan before. That's very nice.
Cathy, your drawings are great. Enjoy the pens. And to everyone else, nice hauls. I'm doubly feeling the love for the Bexley Corona that flew in the door two days ago.
Here is the thread we were using prior to this one, in case anyone wants to look at some previous pen purchases. You know you want to click it.

I did not know pelikans came in pink. I did not need to know this. My wallet is in danger.

That Pelikan is totally awesome looking, and I love your gorgeous handwriting! Respect! *curtsies*
I got a nice Parker 51 today at the flea market.

My latest was the 2011 Lamy Safari Aquamarine in extra fine. Had been hunting for one for awhile as it is my son's birth year! Hopefully when he grows up he'll be into pens and I can pass it down to him.
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

Oh trust me, you have to look through a lot of useless things to find the good stuff here as well, but once in a while you hit that golden streak of luck where you find a seller with a few pens for sale. And the more sellers that get to know you as a pen and pen paraphernalia collector, the more the sellers will get back to you with their findings.
It's very often a matter of flea market networking and getting to know the regular sellers. *wink*
And since there aren't that many danes of greenlandic origin sporting a 8-10 cm tall mohawk, people do tend to remember me.![]()

Here's today's haul from the flea market:

Nice set for my drawing stuff...now I just need to find a way to clean out the old gunk inside the pen.
Any any advice, guys? Pretty please?

Found some dip pen nibs. The really funny thing is that the seller happens to be one of my neighbours here, so now I know where to get hold of him if I want to buy more nibs.
He had three large moving-size cardboard crates full of original boxes with nibs and pencil refills, so I'll get in touch with him now and again and do a bit of shopping, I think.

Unknown fp. Unfortunately I don't read arabic, I wish I knew what the text on the nib says.

Parker thing w. cracked barrel.
A tiny drop of glue and it should do alright as a work pen.
