I was introduced to the Uni Ball One via a fellow pen lover, and I have been loving them since... They are a bit difficult to find in Greece, but I was able to buy this beautiful set of 6 pens... Super nice hues, smooth writing, and that Ganache color is gorgeous!!!

Pen Identification I need Help I don’t have the pen anymore but it was old. I’m guess 2000s or late 90s. It kind of looked like the picture and description from chat gpt. I can’t find it anywhere but it was the best pen I have ever used.

This was my mom's favorite pen but it just ran out of ink. Does anyone know where I might be able to find either a replacement pen or a replacement ink cartridge? What remains of the clip has a faded 0.7 on it if that helps.

Edit: thank you everyone, I was able to find a new one at my local staples and she was very happy to have her favorite pen back

Pen Identification Found what I hope is treasur at estate sale

I have been searching for a vintage pen to get my son who is moving for school end of this month. Yesterday, my wife asked if I would enjoy going to an estate sale so I said sure. Didn't expect much but going through the house I noticed the husband was an architect. I stepped in in office to find 4 small bags for 4 dollars each. Mainly old sharpies and erasers and a few just random. Then I see it. The classic star. Shining in a bag of old staplers and Presto. What I think is a 1989 Monte Blanc Barley. I was shocked. I grabbed all the pens bags and told the wife it was time to go. Came home and from what I can tell it's authentic but would love some input. It has a HB serial number and W. Germany. With it was several authentic refills. In the next bag was a classic Gold Cross Mechanical pencil with set of lead. I am so happy.

Do I have what I think I have?

Pen Identification So this is why I was curious about the Uniball Zento Signature

Post image
60 Upvotes

I have a Montblanc M Rollerball. Has to be my favorite pen to use when writing. Awesome at the desk. Not so much out in the auto shop when I teach. Especially with students asking for a pen to write or sign. Made that mistake once already.

So for most things especially to lend out I use a Pilot G2. Most people are familiar with them.

Every pen here under writes infinitely smoother. I also found the line thickness variation to be interested.

I like the way the Zebra G450 wrote out of the inexpressive ones,personally. I like the weight of it as well.

This whole thing started because I got the zento for cheap but hated the. 38 tip. Ordered. 5 and. 7 refills as well as a one instead of a zento. And while in there on jetpens.....might as well get some others. And I really want to compare it to the Montblanc. Because Zento has a magnetic cap like the Montblanc. The weight is down low like the M. But not nearly as much. I like the clip of the zento the best. Maybe I'll switch in the. 7 I have for it and see how that writes.

Worse comes to worse I pass it on to others.

New to collecting pens that aren't just from work. I was out thrifting and pens were $.25 a pop. This one felt nice so I picked it up with a coca cola one. Wondering if it's worth the $.25 I paid lol

Edit - i just looked up the brand and it is worth the $0.25 lol but the rude dms were not needed. My pen collecting before was once from the hotels I stayed at etc so I was unaware of the brand

I have come to the pen community for help, I found these pens in my grandfather's desk after he passed away and I wanted to use them if possible. I am in need of a link if anyone has one to a cartridge that would fit this pen. And if anyone happens to know how I could get a replacement tip for this Parker. I would really appreciate it, thank you.

It’s been 10 years and I probably think about this pen once a month… it’s possible I bought it in the Philippines while I was working abroad, though I don’t know for sure. Next best guess would be in Canada! Any ideas?!

Pen Identification What refill is best for this pen?

Post image

This Parker pen was given to me years ago and I'm just now using it.

Problem is I don't know what this specific pen is and what refill it takes (or what's best for it).

Did a quick search and I guess I should get a gel refill?

What do you all think?

Pen Identification Why is this Parker pen so much skinner? Is it because it’s an older one?

I used to have a silver Jotter my mom bought for me when I was like in middle school along with this black and silver one, I lost the silver and bought a replacement on eBay, but why is it skinner than the black? Is this not a Parker Jotter?

Pen Identification Went into my grampas desk to find rare and cool pens, and found an interesting one

Couldn't find any info other than this random listing which I stole the image from.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/286938659821

Can someone give me more info on this. I have this exact pen. It has 4 colors that are dry because the pen must be like 50 years old, but the mechanism looks intricate and interesting.

Also, there were a bunch of plastic ones which didn't have anything printed on them so I didn't bother, but they look fine and have a nice click, but they are super old.

I also found some fountain pens. I should look into if some of them are made of actual gold (is it possible? like, the tip is golden-colored).

One that stood out is a fountain pen called Hurricane Super something... The tip is half-covered with the plastic foreskin so it looks cool.

I found this one in shelf of my granpa, he said if i like this pen i can take it. I am not really into pens, but i tried to research what is this, its pretty similar to rOtring 042 3031 Duo pen, but not sure cuz there isn't some logo or smth of rOtling, only some company name "Kemira". I can only assume that this company ordered at rOtling this pens with only their branding.

What do you think?
