The last 2 months have been unusually fruitful on the pen hunt, worthy of a quick windowsill photo. Items have popped up when I least expected, and some auctions fell my way. It also somehow came about evoking a (somewhat) common palette. From left-to-right:
1. Platinum 3776 in tortoiseshell celluloid, with 18k nib (Japan, early 1990s)
2. Edacoto in mottled hard rubber (MHR) (France, mid-1930s)
3. Sheaffer Balance, short standard in Rose Glow celluloid (US, 1936-37)
4. Moore in less-common 'rose' lined celluloid (US, 1940s)
5. Parker Victory Mk1, NOS (UK, 1940s)
6. Parker Victory Mk1 in rose/pink and black celluloid (UK, 1940s)
7. Parker Deluxe Challenger, demi, in burgundy and black (US, late 1930s)
8. Parker Victory, demi, lined rose/silver/burgundy (UK, 1940s)
9.Cascade, grey marbled celluloid w/ silver/burgundy stripes (US, 1930s-40s?)
10. Franklin-Christoph Model 20 in LE Earthstone acrylic (US, 2020 or so)
