hmm...

I always have one or two Pelikan 800s and a Parker 51 with me.
Rather predictable, i suppose.

Robert I'm planning to get the same model Pelikan and Parker one
Robert of these days. I gave my dad a used Parker 51 for Xmas a
Robert few years back. He loved it because he used to own one.
Robert Everytime I try it, it write beautifully. I want one.

Robert Tell me what you think of the Pelikan 800.


What do i think of the 800? It's right there in what I wrote! It is
my most used pen, and i have more than one. Need I say more?

A couple caveats:

1. I can palm a basketball. For me, it's by far the most comfortable
pen. Someone with smaller hands might not like the 800 as much. Your
ergonomics will vary.

2. The nibs -- particularly the 14k ones -- are very nice, but
assumption seems to be that someone other than Pelikan will tune the
nibs before selling them. Not a good assumption. This is annoying,
but I've been using artist's pens and fountain pens since I was 8 and
I can do many tuning jobs myself. I'm also lucky to have the Sailor
nib meisters available several weekends a year for those truly
intractable nib problems. Soo... if you're going to get one, get your
800 from a dealer (e.g., Mottishaw) who will test and adjust the pen
to your tastes/writing style before handing it over to you. I would
guess that this is all the more important if you have an idiosyncratic
way of writing.

Or maybe you'd rather just do acid and listen to Led Zeppelin.

waterman charleston.
It has been filled with ink since i bought it more than a year ago. It
is definitely my favourite (modern) waterman. It's strange that i
don't read many good thing about this pen. Well, maybe, it's just me.


Juan, you really like the Charleston? It is sort of weird looking, like an
almost-MB or something. Guess I'll pick up one of the new ones in ivory.

Hey, way cool pics, Juan!

Who has never seen a turquoise blue ink he didn't like.

Yayy, Heverly!!
Turquoise is also a favourite of the Orange Glo Ladyl!

See Rubin's list:


Parker Duofold Centennnial

S. T. Dupont Vertigo

Waterman Lemans 100 series, including Patrician, etc.

except, I do not have any S.T. pens.

Well, currently in the pen case are 3 sort of unusual brands:

Teal Blue Parker Ellipse
Blue on Blue Sheaffer Intrigue
Citrine Stipula I Castoni

All reliable, but a big change from my usual rOtring Core and LeMan 100 and
Parker Centennial.


Who's going to the DC show? PLEASE hunt down a Sterling LeMan 100 FP and tell
me who has them!

writer and I don't expect to be forced to refill it until October.

Ugly? Well, it has a certain sort of meteorite charm to it, actually.
It looks more like an act of nature than a fountain pen.

Holy cats, Nathan. How do you come up with this stuff?

i would, but you see, i got very ill when i was 10 or 11. i was in
bed for a couple months, which is of course a long time for a kid to
be in bed. at first i read and watched daytime tv but this was before
cable tv and i soon crossed my television tolerance threshold. i
started listening to radio instead and continued reading.
unfortunately, barry manilow was just then at the peak of his
popularity. i gave up on the radio and continued reading. the upshot
of all this is that like a lot of folks, i came to associate barry
manilow with illness.
