    I used almost all of these pens today, all inked, to write letters, postcards and Christmas cards. The smaller rack on the right has pens for Christmas cards, with three Pelikans with B cursive italic nibs and filled with shimmer inks, and a Sheaffer Nostalgia stub filled with Penman Sapphire to defeat envelopes that aren't fountain pen ink friendly.

    Mostly the "fligher" Wing Sung 601. Also ran were the Lamy Vista, Lamy Al-Star, and the fligher vintage Parker 45 BP with black Parker gel refill.

    A fairly key Vac. Blue Diamond with the striped section is something you don't see every day. Gee, might as well be Burgundy to put it over the top! 1939?

    Green 1996 Sheaffer Holly set. A green Touchdown set with Holly caps and box. I saw a pen like this, green Touchdown offered and made my own set. Working on burgundy too.

    Not that anyone is reading, but I used a flighter 601, P45 BP, Lamy Al Star, '42 Parker 51, and a company advertising pen.

    I never did find mine, and that was 15 years ago. I'm tempted to replace it...one of these days.

    My '47 Sheaffer Sentinel DeLuxe Vac-Fill restored last year by Ron Zorn, filled with faux MB Racing Green, a recipe formulated through the combined effort of Chrissy and me, and mixed by junglejim.

    Monteverde Giant Seqouia and Cross Solo. I like the performance of the Cross but I wish it didn't have the plastic body. Smooth writer.
