    That green... it's really getting to me...
    It's never really appealed to me before, until your photography/lighting showed off what it is capable of.
    not like i didn't already have enough obsessions what with my Sheaffers and Parkers...

    Another Pelikan 100 was brought back to life:

    My first picture here: My First Mont Blanc. A Traveler 147 with italic nib by Pendleton Brown. Nice and wet with Noodlers Heart of Darkness ink.

    one of my favourite desk sets: two Waterman's desk pens with RED keyhole nibs and a Waltham 8 days desk watch:






    both, pens wand watch are working flawlessly after more than 80 years!

    That’s a really nice desk set. I’m not sure what I would do with a double set… i barely have room for the single snorkel and the single “51” sets i already have.
    Yours looks very well taken care of

    If you are starting to collect the BIG desk bases, you won’t have room to park the car in the garage.

    I don‘t even have a car. So far, no problem.
    But I still think about a donation to the museum....

    Gray Pelikan 100 from ca. 1939 which was sold in Portugal by Monteiro Guimarães, the general importer for Pelikan products for the countries Portugal, Spain and Brasil. The imprint "Emegê" stands for his initials M and G, pronounced in portuguese. Nice and uncommon detail.

    I was cleaning out a kitchen cabinet and came across this flower “frog” (I think that is what they are called - you see them at flea markets and thrift stores all the time) and it actually makes a decent pen stand, for lighter weight and small to medium size pens.

    Another one, a Parker 61 with onyx marble* base:



    I like this elegant base, made of brass and stone:












    (*Onyx marble is neither marble, nor onyx. It is calcareous sinter, which has taken a crystalline form).
