Show me what you’re writing with!

[mclarendude]

This is my other obsession. Pens!

My current carry ranges, but, I just got back from restoring my mid-50’s Parker 51 Aerometric and I’m loving it.

I also have a new Parker 51 reissue, but the old one beats it by a lot.

This is my current rotation:

L-R: 1950’s Parker 51, Parker 51 Reissue, WingSun 601 (Parker 51 Homage) and a Cross Bailey.

All with black ink except the Bailey which is currently using their archival blue ink.

At home, I have a very mainstream Montblanc Meisterstück in Classique size and a Montblanc JFK limited edition in midnight blue. I also have a Fisher AG-7, along with the ballpoint mate of the Bailey, a Lamy Safari and a few MB fakes.

Show me what ya’ll have! I can’t possibly be the only one.

That’s a great collection! I always write with a parker jotter, inexpensive but writes perfect in my opinion. Last week some montblanc reps from dhgate arrived and they are also very fine quality wise

I restored my great grandfather’s Sheaffer Balance from the 1930’s. Replaced the ink sac and polished the gold bits. The original nib was broken, so I sourced a donor pin and swapped in the section. It still needs a little more sanding to tighten the fit, but it writes beautifully. And it’s very cool to have a piece of family history I’m able to use.

Love it!

Beautiful piece!!!


I bought this today / rather it was a gift from my woman as she was very adamant that she wanted to pay for it

Parker Sonnet

Gen Montblanc ballpoint, about 20 years old or so. In perfect condition and still writes beautifully. Available if anyone is interested.

I'm using this all metal Parker Jotter since college. Now that I think about it, I'm using this pen for the last 25 years. Time flies.

I got a Parker Jotter from my parents for christmas when I was a kid. Used it for decades! Thanks for jogging that memory!

I have a Parker that was given to me waaay back in my school days. Which I still have, in a box somewhere. I also have a couple of other Parkers and MBs in a box. Not touched since I moved OS and back.

However I have this pencil and carbon Starwalker which I use on a regular basis now. I love the weight of the Starwalker. These two are basically the only two things I use to write with actually:

My writing activities are reduced to making short notes or signing stuff these days.

Mostly with my Lamy
It is a combined one with ballpoint pen and pencil
In the back, the Fisher spacepen.

Nearly never in action, Waterman fountainpen

I think everyone should own a Fisher AG-7. Rich in history and heritage. I’ve had two and gifted a third.

Hi folks, any fountain pens trusted dealer? Thanks

Bit of a bump to show an absolutely killer matching duo-
Gen SMP, and a 1980 Pilot Volex with medium nib.

Holy, I haven't seen a Volex in decades. You've unlocked some memories.
