@Seul:

I need a new ballpoint pen… Want it to be black, small, light, preferably no metals... Preferably even rubber... And FUNKY... (And CHEAP...)

"Please advice..."

I'm in the same boat. I lost my beloved Delta Dolce and since then I haven't wanted to carry any of my expensive stuff [emoji22] I do often carry my Prometheus Alpha with a MontBlanc fine liner in it

(I know it's not what you're looking for)
…..but I miss my damn Dolce. People don't drink and write!

That Delta's a fucking beaut… Yeah I'm scared to spend too much on it... But the Dupont Defi black lacquer ballpoint pen has my fullest attention...

This is the sign from a Singer Sewing Machines shop from back in the days:

I picked up the same pen on Massdrop. It’s pretty badass IMO

I was looking for a decent fountain pen for edc for me, I loved the body options, but once I saw the attachable clip….I was sold! Fits perfectly over 25oz IH with no fuss and holds on tight.

I was also shocked at how small this really was, how nicely crafted and the nicely weighted body. Writes beautifully too.

Beautiful Fireblue Liliput Kaweco!

[nurunuru]

That is one sweet-lookin' pen.

[Jordonf9]

Thanks guys. I think I prefer either Japanese or German writing utensils over all others.

Agreed!

It's too tarnished to post right now, but I have the rollerball version of this Namiki sterling pen featuring a samurai rendered in the style of traditional woodblock prints:

Very nice.

Here’s an old toy that I’ve had since the 80’s.  It’s from a Japanese cartoon called Votoms and this is the Brutish Dog. Made of plastic and zinc die cast metal. And yes, Japanese toys are in a league of their own

Vintage rOtring  „Newton”  Trio Pen with 0,7 mm mechanical pencil

[Anesthetist]

I love Rotring pens and pencils. They are the BMW of the writing world. Very robust and have a great sound and feel. Could be an heirloom.

I always forget about this thread but I picked up a cool sculpture off a local etsy dealer and I wanted to share. A couple years ago I took a liking to a St Louis artist named Saunders Schultz who had recently passed. He was a world renowned sculptor with installations all around the country. Anyway, I found this sculpture and it looked familiar even though it was unsigned (and priced too cheaply). I finally made the mental connection that the sculpture is actually a study piece for a Schultz fountain that is within viewing distance of our family plot at Resurrection Cemetery. I couldnt nab it fast enough! Very pleased to have another little piece of StL history. Last pic is another Schultz study of a fountain.

I’ve put a lot of lead through this one. My son is using it now.

@Sage954 this has to be the best pencil ever - had mine since art college (a long time ago, and before everything was done on a computer)!
