Acquisitions!

The drought (of pen buying) has broken. This last week I was up to my old tricks, buying duplicates from collectors, and scouting around eBay. Some nice pens were had:

  • Radius - Italian, 1940's ladies button-filler. Brown marbled celluloid, 14K Flexible F nib.
  • Sheaffer Valiant - Snorkel. Fern Green, 14K Triumph F nib.
  • Pilot Custom 98 - Deep Yellow, 14K EF nib.
  • Duchessa (Montegrappa sub-brand) - Italian, 1930's ladies button-filler, NOS. Pink marbled celluloid. 14K Flexible F nib.

An interesting little lot... :)
