What pens are we carrying today?

[DeaconKC]

Also, consider getting a nice cigar box. There are many really nice wood ones, vintage and modern ones. Line it with felt.

 

[DeaconKC]

Back to work today, grabbed a Black Cross ATX and a blue Century 2. They seem to be my go to pens.

 

[Georgavis]

I got "parker 51" today..

A 1966 Parker Touche. It was originally a felt tip pen but has now been converted to use either ball point or gel ink refills.

I know what you mean. As you can tell from the photo (the 45 has the gold trim and is on top), the Touche's design was influenced by the 45.

[John in Covina]

Green Depression Era No Name with "Welsh" brand nib (slightly Stub) with Private Reserve black.

 

[DeaconKC]

A couple of Cross' today. An ATX with Shaeffer Skrip Black and a Century 2 with Parker Blue Quink.

 

[Shangas]

Montblanc Meisterstuck 145 'Chopin' today. A sleek, simple, dependable pen.

 

[John in Covina]

Green Apple streamline Duofold Junior from about 1929-1933 PR Black & Spearmint green ink blend. Fine point with good flex.

The pen I've been using for the past few days is...a dip-pen actually.

A bone-shafted antique that I bought at the flea-market last year. I'm using it to write my latest story.

That sounds nice. I would love to see a photo of it.

It's not much, but if you wish, then here we are:

That's my desk with my vintage desk-blotter, rocker-blotter, antique inkwell, my everyday-carry pocketwatch and...the pen. It has a different nib in it since I took this photo, but that doesn't matter.

That is nice. I have always loved pens and there are so many beautiful ones out there. May have to start a thread of "show us your pen collection". Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps we should? I don't think such a thread exists on the Lounge.

I think you are right. I just did a search and did not find such an animal here on the Lounge.
I will have to take some photos and start it this weekend. Or if you have some photos already and want to start it that would be great also.

Used a pair of ATXs today. Man, Cross makes smooth writing pens!

 

[Shangas]

Today carrying my Visconti Ragtime L.E. A slim, light, comfortable piston-filler.

 

[Kirk H.]

At work so nothing fancy, just a Jotter with the new Qink Flow refill. Very smooth for a ballpoint.

 

[The Inspector]

A Sheaffer Imperial slim. Had to make a custom ink cartridge since Sheaffer discontinued the ink cartridges back in the early 90's. But she writes like a beauty with the 14k nib.
