My newest purchase is a Soennecken 112, a pretty Platinum pocket pen, and an Arnold grey and black swirl with a Waterman nib. I bought them from the one and only Penwash (Will) of Redeempens at the Dallas Pen Show.

Bit fed up with some of the crap I've been sold, so I've taken the plunge and bought a near mint striped Waterman W5. The price is approx $135, which probably isn't much of a deal, but as long as the pen is in the described condition I won't mind overpaying a bit.
A 1991 Montblanc 149 I got in trade from Ray, along with 3-ink bottle set of Iroshizuku Tsukushi, Yama-budo, Kon-Peki.
I just received this 1940's Esterbrook 407 dip-less desk set in excellent condition:

A vintage bottle of Parker Quink ink. The bottle is cobalt blue glass (never seen one ever) and the shape is interesting too.
The pen, I just restored.

These two, arriving a few days apart from each other, both very special and different.

I'm celebrating Fountain Pen Day 2019 with my latest find: a 1941 Sheaffer Lifetime "Tuckaway" set, the 1st gen that was only made for 2 years. This one is a Vacuum-Fil version with 14k gold-filled cap and barrel, and matching (working!) pencil. A niche in my Sheaffer collection I've wanted to fill for a while, certainly worth the hunt. Oh, and bonus points to those who spot any other temporal connection to this day...
