Visconti Wall Street Limited Edition! Green!
With the 2 surgeries of the last 45 days I have been so broke I can't pay attention within my liquid assets, but with tax return season and an unexpected return from our most effective and wise Federal gooberment I am now back in the buying, acquiring, selling, and working my way into joyous poverty again!
Just added this one! Love Viscontis! Visconti Wall Street Limited Edition (the maxi) in green celluloid. Better yet, a 1.1 stub nib! These are gorgeous pens and Chatterly Luxuries has a dynamic sell going on right now. I think I got the last one of these, but they have the non-limited edition in red which is just a lovely. I really like the celluloid that Visconti uses for the Wall Street pens. The Visconti Wall Street "stacking" design was introduced in 2003. It brings to mind tall New York skyscrapers and ticker tape screens around the Exchange. Gorgeous!

You're killing me Richard!! I've been eyeing that pen for a month since I found out he had them on sale. PLEASE post pics when you get the pen and a writing sample if possible. My Wall Street LE might actually be the blue version. It's borderline. If the green is a more vibrate color, I might just have to pull the trigger! Also I'm very interested in that palladium stub. Good score!

Been really considering one myself! This month my wife had surgery scheduled for the 15th, and an "us" day (That's gonna cost me about a "g",) and I have to get new hearing protection ($1800,) and I bought a nrw scope for $2200, so nothing new for me pen wise this month. But like Formulansx I would love a writing sample and review!
You guys are killing my play toy funds! To know the future is to be trapped by it |

In the meantime here are a few reviews that will knot your knickers. This is S.B.R.E Brown. He does some well respected fountain pen reviews and is worth of a YT subscription. He always does a writing sample at the end of his reviews. Good stuff. I believe he stated not long ago that he has above 400 reviews posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E45QvjaYVQ8 http://blog.gouletpens.com/2016/05/i...ttan-wall.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctDVGqbA5Cw I like and subscribe to Figboot on Pens also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SVaaTh6LfU Remember there are two version of the Wall Street. The Limited Edition which has a celluloid section and the smaller non-limited edition which has a metal section. Both are good pens, but the LE is oversized and just that much more beautiful.

Well I am in good company then, but SBRE Brown...he is an enabler extraordinaire!!! He should be in a sanitarium until he can be taught not to lead us down the path to poverty! And then teach us unknowing to also become enablers! RASCAL!!!! I went for the green as it is just one of those colors in Lucite / Celluloid that pearlizes in the right light! The red was available also and I may also buy it, but in the midi size just to flesh out my Visconti collection a bit.

I edited my post above with a couple pics. The snap of the section really shows the blue but it's not a "definitive" blue for me. The pics I've seen of the green look GREEN and that's what I'm after. When I plead pen insanity in bankruptcy court, I'm naming SBREBrown as a witness! Also I believe SBRE has a red Wall Street........not to tempt you more

I tell you I like it! It looks like it actually changes from blue to green depending on the angle of the light. Really like that effect! SBRE Brown.......sigh.... He is the one that sold me on the 23K PD nibs. After I purchased my first Visconti with a PD nib I was hooked. Totally different feel than gold and soft, but not super flexible. And I understand that lots of people will spring the nibs on them treating them like they are 14 or 18K gold.

I am just being introduced to the PD nibs and have to say they are as good as any gold or I have ever used. I just got my Wall Street today and I ordered it with a stub PD nib. That should be a writing experience deluxe.
