What is your latest pen acquisition?

I realise that many might view these as merely expensive sticks, compared to fountain pens, but they lend me a measure of joy.

Expensive sticks is precisely how my wife sees this entire hobby unfortunately...

You need to ply her with flowers, chocolates, wine and convincing argument. It'll pay dividends in the long run.

She is having to settle for a 4 week holiday in the latest exotic location that work has sent me to (Florida), before a couple of years in our next permanent location - Las Vegas!

Never mind the flowers etc. She's doing pretty well!

You don't see many of those, this side of the Atlantic.

Well this one certainly has done a few miles in its 74 or so years. It should do a few more in a week's time as it is up on ebay now!!!

A pleasantly plain lever filler from Deb's sales, with a rather lovely semi-flex nib, which I am thoroughly enjoying!

[Deb]

Very pleased that you're enjoying it!

That's very cool! EoC, is that an oblique nib holder?

[Empty_of_Clouds]

It is! A very comfortable one to use. The flange is rather interesting too. I'll try to take a photo when I get home to show how it is set up.

[Ahriman4891]

Can you also take a photo of it in your hand? It has an intriguing shape.

Your other nib holders are also beautiful. I like that the makers can play with whatever materials they please, since the nib holder body isn't supposed to come in contact with ink -- adds an extra dimension compared to fountain pens.

[Empty_of_Clouds]

Not that easy to photo in hand. This is the best I can do right now - pen in one hand, juggling cellphone in the other. sorry for quality. Hope it gives some idea of how it works.

[Ahriman4891]

That's really cool. Thanks for the photos!

Now I want a dip-desk pen that looks like that
No need for ink reservoir, just a big ebonite feed that can hold a page worth of writing.

A Pelikan 140 arrived from Rick Propas in August, and I have a Pelikan M200 Brown marbled en route.

It has been a while since I have bought a new fountain pen. For my birthday I decided to get a Visconti Giardino dell‘Eden fountain pen blue with an Extra Fine nib.

Sorry but I have no photos of my own yet.
