I think it is probably fair to say that I have a “thing” for pens and paper. Not fetish level… why don’t we just say “penchant”.
Anyways, I had to pop in to Bob Slate Stationer today. On my own. I probably shouldn’t do this too often. I think at least 50% of the time I end up in a shop with pens, unsupervised, I come home with something. This time I escaped relatively cheaply with a new pen, a Pelikan “Pelikano Junior”. Here are some pics:
The pen was $10.35 and came in a variety of colors, at least green, orange a blue ones were available (I picked up a blue as well, but sent it straight off as a gift to someone). The pen is all plastic (except for the nib of course) and translucent in color, but seems quite sturdy. The yellow grip is somewhat rubbery. The nib has an “A” on it, the meaning of which I do not understand (I should have checked if the blue one was similar), and I would say it is roughly a medium size. Slightly larger than the medium on my LAMYs.
I like the pen. It is a sturdy little guy that I think I will be able to just throw in my bad without too many concerns. Fun and chunky with a simple design.
