Pen Case Cabinet

[stevlight]

So I out grew my 3 cigar boxes for my pen collection and wanted something simple and functional and found it here at Pencase.co.uk

It was about $150.00 with shipping and is beautiful. Geoff Morris hand makes these to order and is a pleasure to do business with--fast email returns shipped DHL got here in like 2 days--amazing. I would order from him again in a second.

 

The case is simple and functional--I did not want a case with a glass top--I don't want anyone seeing the pens in the case when in my studio--then you get questions like" Wow are those expensive? How much do they cost? etc." This is a tool cabinet and my pens are tools. I love that the drawers come out so I can bring them to another table to work with them or make a drawer of pens being used for a specific project. I picked the brown felt and am glad --my mostly black pens show up nicely and it goes nicely with the wood. OK enough talk here are the pics---

The cabinet closed--

The big boys--all nine of my 149's and one 146--they all don't go in the cabinet--two usually at my desk --two in my bag but I wanted them all together in the drawer for a family portrait! HeHeHe

MY nostalgia drawer--first Shaeffer school pen and first Piston filler, a Burgandy Senator, two beat up vintage flexers I need restored--what nibs though! Two Namiki Falcons I really don't use as much but did use alot at one time and a Recife eyedropper--my ONLY eyedropper--may get a Herald Grande eyedropper from Brian at Edison pens though. Two nibs and a clip to my Pelikan M805 Condor nib pen --the clip gets in the way on the condor!!

The tray removed from the cabinet--what a GREAT design feature!!

Wow, it definitely looks very good, and well-made. Nice pen collection, too!

Thanks--I am proud of it--most were bought with money earned doing art with fountain pens so they make me happy, I am glad i can do what I love and use such fine tools to do it.

Thanks for the review and for showing us part of your beautiful pen collection.

 

I've been eyeing those pen cases ever since Force mentioned them on FPN. Did you get the version with "standard" or with "deeper" drawers? I'd guess the latter, as the 149s fit into the slots so easilly. (Great shot of the gang!)

[stevlight]

I got the larger drawers to fit the bigboys!!

[anderl]

Ok, thanks. I'll order the larger version too -- then at last everyone will understand that I just have to get a 149 ...

then at last everyone will understand that I just have to get a 149

I read STEVLIGHTS review on the pen case cabinet. I liked what I saw . SO I bought one

I have a lot of big long and thick pens. M1000 PEL 6. INCH ROSSI /Classic pens prototype pens. So Geoff made

me 3 drawers with wider channels. Holds 8 pens instaed of 10. My pens it great. There as no extra charge for

the modification. Very fast turn around on my order. I saen payment last friday. Got my

order today. Took 6 days too go from England to Pittsburgh. Will buy from Geoff again !!

[dude]

I neglected to say in my last post a few things. I was informed thru out the buying and design change process.

I approved the changes before I agreed too buy the case. I was sent emails from start to finish. All in all things

were handled in a very proessional manner. great customer service.

I ordered a 7 drawer case that should be here next week!! Can't wait.

I am extremely lucky and blessed!! I still walk by and open that drawer and look in amazement--it has taken me a long time to get to such a wonderful place in my life.

just beautiful

Hey, those are nice looking pens!!!! Are they expensive?????

Seriously, wish I lived in UK to get a steal like that. Shipping would be rather expensive to the middle of the Pacific.

[GouletPens]

Wow, awesome collection, and nice case! How in the world can that guy sell that for $150??????

Are you saying it's too expensive or too inexpensive?

I'm saying that's a steal. There's no way I could even attempt to build a case like that for $150. Materials alone would come close to that.
