I found this blotter yesterday. Any input on the type or style? I could not find any maker's mark on it.
Thanks

I thought I had recovered from my pen acquisition disorder, but then I saw a video of this little number and I couldn't resist.....

Retro 51 “Tiger Shark” Tornado
I’m super excited to find this guy. The Tiger Shark has been discontinued for a couple years, but Bertram’s Inkwell had this one in the back. They also had the also-discontinued “Fortress” model based on the B-17. So if any of you history/aviation buffs are looking for these pens, that’s the place to find ‘em.
Samples from Goulet!
The Robert Oster Regular Best Sellers, Colerverse Quaser and Supernova, Diamine Blue Velvet and Damson, and a random sample of Noodler's Kiowa Pecan.
Now trying to decide which to use first...

So, a year ago I bought a Pilot Metropolitan.
And some ink samples.
Okay, thirty ink samples.
And then 3 oz bottles of Noodlers Navajo Turquoise and Black Swan English Rose.
And then a bunch of Diamine 30 ml bottles.
And then a bunch of Jinhao 159s
And some Pilot Shin Kai
And then a NOS pilot elite and a gold nib elite to compare them, plus a user grade vintage Pilot gold nib I don’t even know the name of, plus some Wing sung 3008s, like a bunch of them, and a 601 and 698 for good measure.
I think I showed restraint.
Right?

More restraint than me!
Pelikan M1000!
Highly approved!
Thanks! I love it. My only drawback about it is that it wasn't available in blue.
Congrats! I remember back to the first time I ever held one ... I just burst out laughing! The shop owner seemed a bit annoyed and asked me what was so funny. It was the nib, that thing was so huge and I'd never seen anything like it before. Amazing how it wrote -- somewhat springy and wet -- just humongous though.

It is a bit massive isn't it?
I'm not complaining, though. Definitely nice and springy!

Got in this guy from my long standing wish list...
Neat-o! Congrats, Dustin.
My mother had one of these in the 1970s and I remember trying to write as neatly as her with it, still now she's 87 her hand writing is way better than mine. Anyhow a made in the USA Cross century, black refills enroute.

The rest of the pen haul so far this month...
New haul from Amazon. The Noodlers red ink was supposed to be red-black but they sent the wrong color. I couldn't resist the temptation and tried it, and ended up liking the color, so I guess I'll have to keep it and order another red-black.
Sooooo.....I was in Manhattan yesterday, and I went to a fountain pen store just to get some paper. Well, in addition to the paper, I walked out with this vintage flex:
