Great collection, but these are my favorites. I have a Polar Lights and would love to get a Niagara Falls someday. Is there a difference between the two Mount Everests?

 

I like the storage drawers too!

 

I am new to collecting pens, and brand new to fountain pens. (cursed with the left handed illness so I smear the ink across the page). But I have recently purchased an Indian Summer Pelikan. It was my beleif that it was part of the Beauties of Nature Series. Have I been fooled?

 

 

 

No, you have not been fooled. I mistakenly called the series Wonders of the World. The Indian Summer is part of the Beauties of Nature and not the Wonders of the World series. Your good.

My current collection of fountain pens I have accumulated over the course of the last couple of months since discovering fountain pens:

 

IMG_1331.JPG

 

From left to right based on the order of overall quality as I have determined. Although limited and not as expansive nor as expensive, they have served me well and each gets used. I will add a TWSBI, Esterbrook J, and a Sailor in the next few weeks.

I've really enjoyed seeing other FPN'ers pens in this thread, so I thought I'd add some of my own.

 

http://www.pbase.com/mallymal1/image/135941301/original.jpg

 

Parkers...two 45's...a Vacumatic...three 51's...and four Duofolds.

 

http://www.pbase.com/mallymal1/image/135941299/original.jpg

 

Montblancs...31...144...234 1/2 G...244G...254...344...344G (this is maroon, not that you can tell)...149. The **4 is the perfect size for me.

 

http://www.pbase.com/mallymal1/image/135941296/original.jpg

 

Japanese pens...Pilot Murex...Pilot Custom...Platinum Koi...two Master Pen Co Koi's...Platon Pen Co. Koi...The Nine Koi...Platinum Silver...Pilot Capless...Master Pen Co. Maki-e.

 

 

 

I've enjoyed collecting, and using these pens, and always look forward to adding more. Finances permitting, of course. :thumbup:

MallyMal1,

 

Thanks for deciding to put up some of your collection for the rest of us to see! :thumbup:

 

You take pretty good pictures, if only I had the equipment for it...

Your Japanese pens are especially nice to look at, although I guess I would have to go to pen shows or Japan to find some of the vintage ones you have. The Red and Gold Capless just reminded me why I wanted a second one! :drool: :doh:

 

The progression of Duofold styles is also nice to see.

 

I remembered seeing you post several Conway Stewarts around here before? :embarrassed_smile:

The pleasure is mine, Gobblecup.

 

You're quite right, I have posted some Conways. :thumbup:

 

As a collector, I have focused on vintage Conway Stewarts, but there are so many, many great pens out there...and I like to try them out. :blush:

This year I have sold many of my pens to buy more vintage English pens, but I have gone for Swans and other Mabie Todds mostly because I love flexible pens. I still would love to get some Conway Stewarts in the future, they are some of the most beautiful of the 40s-50s era. But as you can see even at this early stage in my collecting, I am having trouble focusing, there are just too many good pens to distract you! :headsmack: :D

Awesome Burnham collection! Thanks for sharing it. :thumbup:

 

You seem to prefer the early flat tops? They are hard to find in my strip of the earth. -_-

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
