Hi folks,

 

I've just joined the Forum and thought I'd say hello to you all and also introduce myself. I live partly in Madrid, Spain and partly in the Basque Country or Euskal Herria as we call our little country in the ancient Basque language.

 

Although I'm a newbie in the Forum I am not as a (modest) pen collector. I'm mainly into vintage pens, though I stretch the term to include pens from the 1960s, the 1970s and even the early 1980s. The focus of my relatively small collection are Parkers from all periods, Sheaffers from the 1960s, Watermans from the 1970-1990 and, lately, Montblanc piston fillers from 1935-1975.

 

My most recent acquisitions are a beautiful Senior Maxima Vacumatic with Jeweler's Band from 1939, a NOS Montblanc 149 from 1962, which I have not inked yet, and a Montblanc 149 from 1975 which writes beautifully and with whom I've just started a love affair ;-)

 

I'm sure I'll learn from you all. This forum has a reputation for top level knowledge on vintage FPs.

 

Cheers

 

Carlos

Hola Carlos,

Welcome to Fountain Pen Board.   Your interest in classic pens from the prior century puts you right in the target zone  of FPB's main focus.  You should have some fun here. We have threads with remarkable images about vintage Parker, Sheaffer, MB, Pelikan, etc.  Do look around and note that many of the Forums have many pages ot subjects to explore (the main page for each forum lists just 20 of the topics).

 

best regards

 

david

Hey Carlos,

 

Nice to see you here too. Have you posted pics of that 1975 149 yet?

Hi Kevin, I too am glad to see you here !!!! I'll surely post pics of the 1975 149 in the "Ode to mini collection thread". Now that I'm using that pen and a 1950s 146 at the same time I'm convinced that I've got to go for the 1950s 149 ;-) The 149 is to me more comfortable to write with than the 146.

 

Let's stay tuned in this cossy hut ;-)
