Been a busy month which means I have missed seeing some of the nice goodies everyone has posted. Particularly find myself envious of Bob's Vacumatic, thats a beautiful pen. My acquisition disorder has been very busy in spite of all my other activities
The Snorkel/Admiral and the striped Duofold will definitely fit my collection. Some how couldn't resist the Morrison BCHR even thought the nib is missing, or the Waterman's Thorobreds and the oversize Marxton. None of the other bidders at this auction really wanted to bid up these pens.
Then along came another Targa to make that collection bigger.
And my "disorder" finished the month in fine fashion. Another Snorkel showed up at a sale friday.
At yesterdays auction adventure I got a nice surprise when I discovered there was a Lamy 2000 and a Sailor hidden in a lot I bid on for the Parker "61", Vanishing Point and the Safari. Now I get to see why everyone here loves the Lamy pens. I of course really wanted the Parker "51", and was glad to grab the Pelikan 120, but got a bit carried away when I went after the Mont Blanc and the pen in front. I don't even know who made it but it sure looks nice. Gonna have to bring a chaperone to auctions with me in the future.
Way to go! That's a nice looking Targa. Mine is one of my all-purpose favorites. Mine is smooth and fast. It lays down the appropriate amount of ink for run of the mill spiral notebook paper, but also has enough wetness to be consistent when I'm flexing the tines while writing fast. Nice scores!
