I looked around for quite a while for a wall mounted case for my pens. I thought I would share what I found. I purchased this from pendorapens.com (no affiliation) and am very happy with it. It holds 26 pens and I got to choose the insert color (from black, blue, or red) and Michelle at Pendora worked with me to pick the best stain for the oak to get the look I wanted. I love it and also love having the free space on my desk! I have no idea why the attached pictures are sideways, but I promise it goes vertically on the wall :)

That looks very nice, jzara, and appears to be sturdy and well made. You have some nice pens, as well. :thumbup:

 

(You should be able to rotate the photos in whatever photo software you use and then repost the modified files. I think the box is still very good looking even if I do have to turn my head a bit to see it in the correct configuration! :))

Is it a good idea to leave pens half exposed to light, and half to dark ?

 

I'll be not very confortable in doing this, in particular for celluloid, ebanite, and similar materials.

I shouldn't think this would be a problem as long as the display box is placed so that it is never in direct sunlight. :unsure: There are many storage/display cases made for fountain pens that have glass covers; it would be good to know if artificial light or indirect sunlight might harm pens as well. Hopefully, someone with experience with such cases and/or with pens made of the materials you mentioned will weigh in.

I have a BHR pen that is black on one side and brown on the other. Clearly it was exposed to light in one position for quite some time, perhaps on a display card in a store window.

 

That said, I would want to be sure that the glass of the case was UV resistant to cut down on the possiblity of fading.

The pen case is on the wall in my basement, so direct sunlight is not an issue. I guess if you were worried about uneven light exposure, the pens could easily be spun over time to keep the exposure even.

The strange thing about the orientation of the pictures is that they are upright both in the original image and when I view them on my iPhone? I have had this issue before when posting pictures of pens to sell.

      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
