Hello all!

Quoted from my last update: "With so many pen models now out in the
market, from time to time I plan on spotlighting pen models that seem
to get 'lost' in the depths of my website, just to remind everyone of their
existence!"

The first two are from DUKE. The Century Pioneer always reminds people
who see it of the Waterman Boucheron in appearance. At less than $100.00
-- with a 14K gold nib -- it's a bit less costly!

On the budget end is one of the first DUKE models that I
carried, which has always been a very popular one, but
has become a member of the FF brigade more recently,
the Copper Temple (since joined by the Vermillion version).

On the Monteverde side, I'd like to remind everyone of two
models of quite different size...

The Invincia was one of Monteverde's first designs, and has
remained one of their most popular over the years, in its
various finishes:

After years of 'bigger is better' and oversized pens, the Sonata
has been part of the recent trend -- over the past year or so --
of pen companies offering terrific designs in a smaller package.
The Sonata has become one of my most-used pens personally
(note: the photos of the two Monteverde pens are *not* to scale!).

The last I'll mention in this update isn't a pen at all -- but rather the
Grafica 'lead holder', again by the always-innovative Monteverde.
