Some fresh fountain pen eye candy. My haul from the Los Angeles Pen Show 2015. Big Parkers. Big Sheaffers. Modern MB. Waterman Edson. Parker DF Greenwich and True Blue. Bunch o' funky Pelikans from Luiz Oliveira Leite. Bakelite Parker Lucky Curve. Steller Parker 24 1/2. Sheaffer Demo. Zaner-Bloser Parker with glorious Lapis color, at last and after years of hunting. Also at last and after years of hunting, a superb Conklin Zebra (nearmint, stickered) at a good price. Couple Gold Bonds (Montgomery Ward store brand) for my collection. Parker Vac Slender Maxima apparently with prototype nib. More.

 

I've discussed some of these pens under different threads and perhaps will add those images later.

 

Great show.

I think some thought it may have been done by a jeweler; I thought more hopefully it might have been a 'lunchtime project" at Janesville. I wonder if David has any update for us...
