Let Me Introduce You To My Flock - Pic Heavy


sargetalon

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I had the day off today and my wife went to work so that left me some time to do something that I could never do under her watchful eye… photograph the flock. I think a formal introduction is long overdue. Just for your reference, <X> indicates nib size. Depicted below are 64 of my 65 birds at the time of this posting. Enjoy!

Lets start with some Pelikan peripherals…Large blue pen holder and gold, silver, and white small pen rest. 1, 2, and 3 pen cases

PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

That's a neat collection. Are you collecting ALL Pelikans or only the Souverän series?

 

Thanks for showing.

You had me at "Pelikan peripherals"!

Beautiful collection and so well presented through your photos, thank you for that.

One of my favorite titles in a thread is Pic Heavy! Well done! :thumbup:

All I can say is wow. That is a tremendous collection. I am superbly jealous of that amber demonstrator.

I'm open to collecting all Pelikans but my focus is the M100-M250 series. I ultimately want to collect every variation released in that series. I've been researching for a while now and have come up with a total of 72 pens over that range. I'm about 2/3 of the way there.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Sultan of Brunei who (allegedly) has one copy of every Mercedes ever produced in his garage :yikes: :lticaptd:

Nice collection but do you get to write with all of them?

Thanks for sharing !

And congrats !

 

I didn't know that the M200 existed with 2 rings on the cap and I had never seen a M200 Tortoise brown before as well ! :thumbup:

Awesome collection! :drool: Thank you for giving us several close-up and comparison shots, and lots of eye candy.

Nice collection but do you get to write with all of them?

 

Everyone of them gets written with. I usually have 1-2 inked up at a time. Each week sees a new pen or two pulled into rotation and the prior weeks pen flushed, cleaned, and stored.

 

Do you happen to have a side by side, uncapped pic of your 400NN, 120, and 140?

 

I don't have any of those pics available. I'll try to do that at some point if I'm able.

      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
