Lets kick off Movember !!!!
Showed up at my house to have a package with a Pilot 78G with a B nib and also a package from the Goulets with a bottle of Black Swan in Australian Roses and a ruled notebook!
Huzzah!
+1 on the Pilot 78G with "B" (stub) Nib. Liking the way it writes so far. I filled it with Bad Blue Heron. I will post some photos tomorrow.

This is a few of my vintage goods.. 2 parker 51 pens one is a 51 Special and the other is a early aerometric 1948 4th quarter both write well and in fantastic shape.. I filled both pens with Noodler's Dark Matter. A bottle of Sheaffer Skrip and a NOS 40's era Parker Quink ink.
I'm fairly sure the little international carts will work in a pinch. Nice transparent green student pen!Now to find some Shaeffer cartridges and/or order a converter from the Goulets. Do any other brand of cartridges fit these pens or are they Sheaffer proprietary design?

Right you are, sir! Popped an international cart in there and it's working quite nicely. Cute little pen...probably won't be my everyday companion, but might get relegated to something mundane like grocery lists. For $2.00 and a little cleanup work, I can't complain.
We did pretty good over the last few days. At the Ohio Pen Show we picked up a Blue Parker vaccumatic with sweet extra fine nib. Got it for a great price and it is a nice writer. We also picked up an early 1950s Pelican 140 that was green striated. Medium nib. Great writer as well and gives some good shading. While there we had Richard Binder work on the nibs of our Pelikan Blue O Blues. Linda and I are both very happy with the results. When we got back I had a Pelikan M800 blue striated waiting for me and Linda just picked up the Pelikan Green O Green today. As you can see we have a penchant for Pelikans. Our little flock keeps on growing.
