I took a look at the Pilot company history here : http://www.pilotpen.us/about/timeline/ and saw that Pilot officially became the trade name of the company back in 1918, which would place the 90th anniversary in 2008. Since I see most of the reviews are posted in 2009, I am assuming that it was released in the US late in the year. I will allow it as a nomination.<br /><br />@Julie Thanks for seconding the nomination for the Pink Safari!Goldspot Penshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388520620911301783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554789357687368043.post-16355059378978245932009-10-12T13:13:12.028-04:002009-10-12T13:13:12.028-04:00@Goldspot: yes, the M90 is the 90th anniversary pe...@Goldspot: yes, the M90 is the 90th anniversary pen. It's a limited edition of 9000 pieces. I have been able to find reviews of it from 2008, but I don't know if they were all pre-release or not (some of them definitely were). Perhaps your google-fu is stronger than mine. Btw, I like this gallery of it, which I am in no way affiliated with: http://www.pbase.com/kelvinphoto/myu90&page=allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554789357687368043.post-9421716046100626342009-10-12T12:54:04.093-04:002009-10-12T12:54:04.093-04:00Another vote for the Pink Lamy Safari - love this ...Another vote for the Pink Lamy Safari - love this pen and the color is awesomeOkamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102550169423011863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554789357687368043.post-34158467550369904312009-10-12T10:43:07.209-04:002009-10-12T10:43:07.209-04:00@alyssa - I'm looking forward to it as well.

I get questions about the pen, so I can share information about how great fountain pens are. I get questions about the pink pen, so I can share my concern about problem of cancer to others. For those of you who want a great writing experience, try a Lamy Safari. For those of you who have cancer, or a loved one with cancer, my heart goes out to you...privatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692719111686575438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554789357687368043.post-36516742884054495932009-10-09T13:10:09.404-04:002009-10-09T13:10:09.404-04:00When was the Pilot M90 released?
