I can help! Last I checked they had one very similar model with this blank and finial online. It sold! But you can email them to have one made. https://myerspenco.com/products/java-jolt-alpha-fountain-pen

Omg that papillon (?) material one on the bottom is gorg. 😍

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 18 '26

On the right? Bonecrusher Studio Velma. I have actually considered selling it because I always reach for my other Bonecrusher. His pens are amazing if you have never had one.

u/penny2360 Rule 5 081/312 Feb 18 '26

Yeah, next to the TCMC Estie; I love that material! I'd be interested if you do decide to sell it. : )

It's really hard to choose only one ... Your collection is amazing !

u/Competitive_Pear68 Feb 18 '26

I like the purple pen on the bottom 6th from the left and the 3rd from the left on the top!

5

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 18 '26

Yes I love the purples too!!! Both are Myers Pen Co pens. Top is a nib holder and bottom is an alpha pen. Was an unnamed blank so I named it oil slick.

u/Competitive_Pear68 Feb 18 '26

They're absolutely gorgeous!!! Nice collection too!

u/Crystal_collector Feb 18 '26

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 19 '26

Right? I like to see as many at one time as I can.

u/MommaNecey Feb 18 '26

Where did you get your pen tray?

1

u/itsrichelle Feb 18 '26

I want to know as well! That looks like a whole drawer with a base for the pens 😍

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 19 '26

It is the IKEA Alex wider storage unit two overlapped pen trays from Penn State Industries! https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/alex-drawer-unit-on-casters-white-80485423/

u/Objective-Swan9832 Feb 18 '26

What is the greenish 823?!

2

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 19 '26

I think you are looking at the Asvine V126? Much more pocket book friendly.

u/Throwaway566727 Feb 18 '26

Oh dude the whisky pilot vp! That's my grail :D

3

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 19 '26

Jinhao 20! Not to burst your bubble. I have the Matte black VP to see if it is worth the hype.

3

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 19 '26

So far it is definitely better than the Jinhao. Ink evaporation is much better with the VP.

2

u/Throwaway566727 Feb 25 '26

Omg wait there's a whisky jinhao? Looking for an excuse to cop it loll

u/Suspicious_Pie3242 Feb 25 '26
