Beautiful, Mark. That's a lot of silver!
Literal minded fellow that I am, there is the usual unnecessary disclaimer that no, not all of this is in my pocket. In fact, when I go out this afternoon with some friends to a restaurant that is now reopened with outdoor seating, I will likely have only the Sheaffer, a mechanical pencil to be determined, and a very small pocket notebook.
But what you see here is a Sheaffer School pen with a Sheaffer Blue-Black Cartridge, a Pilot Custom Heritage 92, FM nib, De Atramentis Document Blue ink, and a vintage wood pencil, an Eagle 314 draughting pencil. Nice if you can find them at a reasonable price, and I have a dozen-ish left. The notebooks are a Nanami Seven Seas Tomoe River blank journal, and a U.S. Art Supply 8.5 x 5.5 inch sketchbook. I'll probably regret posting one of my amateurish sketches, but what the heck. It's been something to keep me occupied.

Always a good choice! Can't tell from the photo ... is it the blue or the charcoal?
I think the color is called "smoke", a translucent black. My other one is just clear.

Aurora Ipsilon + Aurora black ink
Wine colored Sheaffer Sagaris with the blue/black ink cartridge that came with it. Really stoked to take it for a test write tomorrow as it's my first brand new Sheaffer. I have a few 1930s and 40s era vintage Sheaffers and it will be interesting to see how the new one compares.
Monteverde engage ink ball
In my shirt pocket:
Pencil: vintage Esterbrook, with the name of a company, "Dearborn Machine Div.".
Fountain pen: Pilot Vanishing Point. This one has a 1.1 mm stub nib, which I disliked when I first got it, and was one of my pen purchase regrets. After a long interval, I decided to give it another shot, and was surprised to find that I like it now. Sailor Jentle Doyou ink in a refilled Pilot Cartridge.
Notebook: tiny little Rhodia, about their smallest size. The layers on the front and back covers with the Rhodia name were peeling, so I peeled them off completely.
In my pants pocket, this little Fisher Space Pen. I rarely use ballpoints, but it's a good backup if I have to write under bad conditions.

It is my most valuable pen, Vacumatic, the 149 has a custom binde made from a cracked ice material that I also had made for a M800, Aurora 88, and a custom Shawn Newton design. I really like the material.
It is very impressive, a good looking pen made even better.
Pen today is what looks like a 1920s Duofold, it is actually a Danish copy, even the clip. The only marks on the pen are London 1745. The quality of the material and manufacture is actually better than Parker.
Today I have used my Pelikan 140 F (4001 Blue Black), M150 F (Krishna The Earth), 110 Merz and Krell (M) Levenger Pomegranate, Esterbrook J (9550) Levenger Amethyst, Parker 51 Special Diamine Ancient Copper
