My local bookstore had a dollar sidewalk sale yesterday and I picked up three pattern books for a buck.

The @tkingfisher.com as full price, but really wanted to read it.

Finally got some time with my birthday present and really enjoying it. It's a vintage Montblanc 342 from the early 50's, and has the smoothest nib I own now.

Went the other night to one of the local breweries for dinner and to hear a friend's band play. Was a good night out and my parents had a good time as well.

My little dude got one right.

Second up is an Edison pens Collier in persimmon swirl with an 18k nib. I bought this one solely for the nib, and wasn't expecting to really like the color. But it has a depth and chatoyance that surprised me.

I haven't inked this one because I don't know what to use. Any suggestions?

Couple of pens that I realized the other day I hadn't posted.

First up is a 90's (I think) Pelikan M400. It's a small pen, avs the first Pelikan I've ever written with, but the nib is a glorious broad that shows off shading ink great.

First panel of my temperature blanket done. Will give a color breakdown if anyone is interested.

Also picked up three bottles of Andrillium ink, and one from Franklin Christoph.

Finally got some good pictures taken off my new old pen from the Atlanta Pen Show.

It's a vintage Waterman CF, with a matching pencil. I fell in love dip testing, and should have cartridges arriving in the next couple of days.
