Hi all... new to the FPN! have been collecting for a few years now. Watches and pens are my fav. Love vintage Parker and Sheaffer and Waterman. Modern pens... Pelikan, Waterman, Parker, Nakaya, Lamy...

Hope to learn more about pens and tips and share the joy of collecting pens with you all!

Hi Bruce and welcome to FPN!

I remember your username from Pentrace (if I recall correctly) and I was always wondering if the YVR part of it was a reference to the airport code for Vancouver, Canada (where I live as well).....

In any case, nice to have you on board. Sounds like you've got good taste in vintage and modern pens

). Where do you work? I have several businesses in downtown!

Hello Bruce and welcome to the FPN!

You have great taste in pens, and I too plan on buying a Nakaya someday when I have the funds to so. They make great pens and from what I have read their customer service is fantastic too!
