Sorry, my p&s can't macro for crap, but here are some of my pens. These are all vintage..
Here's a Parker 51 Special that I got from my grandma...Great writer, can always count on it.
A Parker Vacumatic Duofold...they call the series vacumatics, but this is one of the cheaper button-fills.
On the left an Eversharp Skyline, with a nice fine flex and on the left a Parker Deluxe Challenger...
Onto the MBs. I have a soft spot in my heart for vintage Mont Blancs. They write in a totally different manner than their modern counterparts, and many have just incredible flex nibs.
A Mont Blanc 142G. Technicaly a ladies pen, but I like the combination of size and heft. I have 2 of these actually..
Here's an early 146. This is the export version, which says "Masterpiece" on the ring instead of "Meiserstuck." One is harder to find than the other. I forget which, but I have one of each. These 146s each have just awesome flex to the nibs. One is an OB and probably my favorite writer ever.
Here's the 142G next to the 146.
And here are my two vintage 146s strafing a modern 146. Check out the size difference.
A 214..button fill, as opposed to most MBs which are piston..
And now in coral, from the land of the Danes..
A 234 1/2 G
And now a blurry shot so you can see the cap imprint..
MB 344
Something of a rarity..a Mont Blanc 422 Stylograph. The damn star fell out of the cap somehow, but it actually writes really well.
A 324. With the great "Simplo Montblanc" imprint on the barrel...Hard to capture with my camera, though. Another button-fill.
Good imprint and outline-star on the cap. The other side of the cap is engraved "MERCEDES"
A modern MB Boheme. Nice oblique nib.
A vintage Pelikan. I forget the model..
And finally, a very early cartridge fill Waterman. Uses a glass cartridge. I love the look of it, no idea how it writes though.
Here's a group shot of these pens and a couple others...
OK, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed looking at them. It's a little depressing, cause taking these pictures made me realize the nice headphones I could own instead...
