Looks exactly like this and it's been repaired at the local pen shop a few times. I like the standard boring pens. Looks like something out of a cartoon when they show the artists working.

Every now and then I feel like being colorful and let one of the Esterbrook's tag along. When I really want to feel stuck up, I bring out my Mont-Blanc 244 with the OBB nib.
Inks are matched to the pen for the most part, mostly Noodlers and my favorites tend to be the Fountain Pen Network exclusive inks. I have the Starry Night in the cedar blue 51, the Galileo Brown in the cordovan 51, although I have Legal Lapis in the gray one. The snorkel seems to really like Lamy turquois, the Statesman only likes the Tulipe Noir. The Esties never seem to be heads over heals with any one ink.
Here is my little collection, I carry a fountain pen every day, and on rainy days where one may not work, I take my gray 51 and the matching pencil with it.
