some very serious collections here, thanks for sharing :notworthy1: :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Since most of my pens are black, I thought I should make a picture of the other. Sorry about the width of the pic

This is a nice collection and a pretty good picture too! May I ask you what's the pen wich lies left of the Pelikan 100 and left of the gold plated Aurora 88? Thanks.

I agree, a great group of pens and a very nice picture of them all! Thank you for sharing it. :thumbup:

Thanks Gobblecup - would like to hear the story behind your handle.

 

Christof, those pens are beautiful and in incredible condition. Where did you source these?

 

The orange pen is an unknown German piston filler. It has one of my favorite celluloids.

The second one is a Fend fountain pen with an incredible nib - a BB tip!

I am not a big fan of metal pens but love when they have a nice clean industrial design.

Vik,

 

On that first pen, it looks like it has a steel DEGUSSA nib, is this correct? The build and quality of the pen look very much like the pens made by the German Columbus/Rakete brands, although they do resemble a number of common German designs, so without a marking, or similar reference it would be hard to tell. You might look at this link to a discussion about that brand where I learned quite a bit about that brand.

 

EDIT: The handle came about as a nonsense stroke of anti-genius, some metaphor to do with a goblet being a cup, and drinking out of a goblet-cup so quickly your gobbling liquid from the cup... :roflmho:

 

You know, it could have something to do with thirsty goblins too, I never considered that... :hmm1:

Thanks for the good words, mallymal1....

 

I wish I could take better pen pics. Some of the Parkers really look better in person than in the pics...more depth and translucence of colors, etc.....really fun to look at...

Here is my tiny little "collection":

 

images snipped...

 

My collection looked almost identical about 10 years ago. The first four pens I bought were Safari-->Rotring 600-->Lamy 2000-->Parker 51. The only difference is the 51 - mine was a full size in black. You've got a great start or a great complete set if you decide to stop there (good luck with that :P ).

Haha! That's nice!

I've only started using fountain pens last November...."Luckily" my wallet as a college student is pretty limited, that's why I have only 4....:rolleyes:

Stop?! I don't even know that word :hmm1:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
