That is a great cabinet and it will take oh..... weeks, to fill it with new pens!

 

 

Mine is far more modest I'm afraid

Pens and paper everywhere, yet all our hearts did sink,

 

Pens and paper everywhere, but not a drop of ink.

very nice :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

Wow, that's beautiful!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Wow that is really nice and very unique. I have never seen a barrister case set up like that before. By my count it has room for 1008 pens

 

Hehe... Well, that gives me room to grow, then. :thumbup:

I found the following offered by Mini Stackables which might be of interest for pen, paper, and ink storage.

However, I prefer altering a form of antique furniture for my purposes.

This is the most wonderful cabinet I have seen! I agree that raised back design is absolute genius. Why other cabinet makers don't use this is beyond me, but obviously with heavy payload like paper, it was a necessity. I think you should consider the Pendora liners if not now then later as you can color code all the storage, or just add a rich color like the Forest Green to make a lovely piece even more attractive. Best of luck with it and we'll wave the next time we drive up to Sedona :)

Thanks, Steve. The cabinet has proven itself worthy since this thread started. Been using the black liners from Gary Lehrer, which are doing just fine. If you ever come up this way and want to talk pens, PM me and we'll see if our schedule allows...

FWIW, I think it may have been a display case from an old haberdashers, for holding/displaying small items like handkerchiefs or gloves; the glass front to keep out dust, then lift out of the way, and the tray could be taken out to put on the counter for the customer to examine. High back to stop things falling out behind, low front to show off the goods, and cupboards below counter level for back-up stock. Not the same sales system as Wal-Mart........

 

Lovely-looking wood, it would (sorry) look quality behind the counter.

That's an amazing piece. Great find!

 

I am currently using one of the old accordion sort of sewing boxes for my much smaller and sloppier collection (no pen trays, just fabric lining the drawers.)

      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
