Fountain Pens & Writing Updates: Pilot Prera, Conway Stewart, Pelikan 140, & More

Just some stuff to share. And I see a new brand, Edelberg pens. (more)

And I think I really need a new Pilot Vanishing Point in matte black. (more)

Pocket Blonde: Pilot Prera Clear Body Fountain Pen: "The Pilot Prera clear body fountain pen isn't as expensive as some, but to be honest there's not a lot of pen either. The accent caps come in lots of different colors if you are so inclined ..."

seize the dave: ink review: noodler's dragon's napalm: "If you want to get someone's attention, send them a letter written in Noodler's Dragon's Napalm ink. It's the perfect ink for the task, as it is very close to the color of safety orange – that attention-getting hue that adorns traffic cones, the tips of toy guns, hunting caps, inmate jumpsuits, and the official state fungus of Ohio – the orange barrel."

Whatever: Pelikan 140: "Surprisingly for a fountain pen that was produced for so many years, I was unable to find much information about this specific model. There is plenty of information about the Pelikan Fountain Pen company and it's early years available and I refer you to Rick Propas and his website The PENquin."

Ink Nouveau: My Ink Journal: "Ink journals are a great way to keep a reference of the way different inks look in different pens. They can be especially helpful if you enjoy sampling inks, so you can refer back to them later if you're going for just the right ink for a particular writing project."

Conway Stewart Dandy: an Impeccable Modern Classic: "This pen is modeled on the vintage flat-top Conway Stewart Dandy and Duro models c.1920s, and the design elements have been faithfully retained: the form, the proportions, the 'lolly-pop' lever, the knurled endcap, the fixed 'stepped' clip, and the curved section."

Uni-ball Jetstream Ballpoint Pen – 0.5 mm – Basic Series – Black - No Pen Intended: "I realized yesterday that, as much as I make mention of how much I love Uni-ball’s Jetstream line of pens, I haven’t actually reviewed some of my favorite Jetstream pens (I’ve only reviewed the Jetstream color ink series blue-black thoroughly)."

The Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Fountain Pen - Fountain Pen Network: "This is a review of my latest acquisition, the Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Filler. I had my eyes on this pen since last year but it was only a couple of weeks ago that I caved in and ordered one. At Euro 125, this is one of my most expensive pens"

Pelikan M101 N Tortoiseshell Special Edition Fountain Pen - www.nibs.com: "Generating great excitement in the fountain pen world, the new Pelikan M101 N Tortoise Brown Special Edition Fountain Pen is a revisit of an historic pen from the 1930's. The combination of classic styling with contemporary craftsmanship makes this a pen that will be a superb everyday writer."

Moleskine App Perfect For Writing About The Sweet Fern, Growing Ankle High: "Nick pulled out his iPad and placed it on the table. He pressed the icon for the Moleskine App and began to write."

Platinum Double 3 Action Transparent Body Multi Pen Pencil Review - The Pen Addict: "I am a sucker for transparent barrels, and this Platinum Double 3 Action multi pen is just fantastic looking. The entire line is new at JetPens, and comes in Aqua, Crystal, Gloss Rouge, Lavender Purple, and the Fresh Leaf body that I picked up."

Review: Quiver Pen Holder - Rants of The Archer: "The double/dual Quiver pen holder comfortably accommodates two pens. Its soft leather can be stretched a bit, so two large pens can fit in. I tested several pen combinations shown in the photos below, and I paired a big-sized pen with a thin one so they will not scratch each other."
