    same pen I -carry- everyday.

    Esterbrook J with a 1555 Gregg Shorthand nib.

    Ink today is J Herbin Cacao du Bresil.

    Well my Waterman 55 unscrewed from its cap clipped in my jacket and emptied all of its Baystate Blue into my pocket and eventually, my trousers. None got on my shirt, though. Two articles of clothing ruined :\

    (For those unaware of Noodler's Baystate Blue, it is not "bullet proof," but still stains most everything it comes into contact with. Love the colour though...)

    Thumbs up Mont Blanc

    Every day since 1983; My Mont Blanc fountain pen purchased in Salzburg, Austria. Front shirt pocket - and I feel naked if I take it out. Never loan it. Never leave it.

    2. Pilot Elite with custom ground needle nib.
    3. Parker 51 Aero with factory needle nib.
    4. Parker 51 with custom ground needle nib.
    5. Sheaffer 800 with factory accountant nib.

    The finer the nib grade the happier I am.

    3 pens today, only one vintage

    Hi.

    Today I'm carrying a Hero 100 flighter (loaded with Noodler's BayState Blue ink), a Namiki VP, raden finish (loaded with Namiki Blue), and a 1930's Rigen japanese eyedropper (loaded with FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown).

    When the VP runs out of ink, I'll likely ink my 1940's Kumiai urushi coated eyedropper.

    Well, keeping with my fetish for classic accessories, I always have a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck in my messenger bag. But it's out of ink right now. So I have to confess I'm using a lousy old fine point rollerball from Office Depot.

    Uh, oh, my other collecting passion

    I only collect two things, fountain pens and hats. Today I am carrying a 1928 Parker Big Red Senior filled with Noodler's Black ink. I serve as a judge on a part time basis and I am signing orders today using a Sailor King of Pen fitted with a King Eagle nib filled with Private Reserve Ultra Black ink. Best to all my fellow pen lovers, Sam

    The Big Red is a fine pen but you got a Sailor King of Pen with a special nib?
    Shazam! That is a mighty fine pen that I can just dream about these days.

    I would like one of those some day and also something from the Nakaya Pen makers too they're supposed to be super.

    Hold that Tger!

    I almost forgot, today it's a modern Conklin Glider fine point in Tigereye with that special blue I mixed up from the Private reserve stuff.

    It looks like the one here: http://www.goldspot.com/Conklin_pens/Glider/GL02-1.html
