Showing off my flock

[rdicecio]

Thanks! I have added a few pens since the original post last year. I will post more pictures soon.

 

Not very interesting of a reason: It seems too big for my hand.

 

Amazing collection - thank you for sharing!

 

Given the depth and breadth of your collection, I was surprised to not see any M1000 variants. Any particular reason? Please don't take offense at my query - it just struck me that you might have an interesting reason given the thought that you have obviously put into what you have compiled...

Incredible collection and very interesting for all of us who enjoy Pelikans. It's almost like a history lesson. I especially loved the 100 Tortoises -- they are exquisite! Thanks for sharing.

that is one awesome collection :clap1:

[Rafael Macia]

I like how you pay attention to 140 sets, and have little of the 400's, ....

( oh by the way, tray 5 furthest left 400NN is probably 70's, not 1952)

 

One of the great collections ! Congratulations !

Ciao Ricardo,

 

I also started out with fountain pens in elementary school. My first pen was a Pelikan, but I am not sure of the model. It was in the late 1950s/ early 1960s so I guess it was the 400. I used that for years, and I loved that pen. I lost it over the years. I have not limited my collecting to Pelikan, But I have in my collection the Pelikan Pharo FP and RB, Level L5 in silver and anthracite, P61-L Pelikano junior for left handed, silver FUTURE and the lovely blue 2000 set of fountain pen and ballpoint. The 2000 has the smoothest nib of all.

Interestingly, none are piston fillers.

 

I understand the sizing thing. People ask me what camera to buy. I tell them that any camera today will give you a very good picture. Go to the store and hold them...buy the one that fits your hand. I gave away a perfectly good Cross Century 2000 fountain pen because it was too large for my hand, but I have two Cross Century II in gray mica and cobalt blue.

 

Thanks again for posting the pictures.

 

a modest collector in Indiana.

Glad you did - what a beautiful and certainly extensive collection, although I'll bet not complete. If there is a Fountain Pen Museum rdicecio could have a section all his own with a gold lettered plaque announcing that the Pelikans on displace are on loan from, insert his or her name :clap1: . Great collection, thank you rdicecio for sharing it with us, and thank you liapuyat for reviving the thread for both those who are seeing it for the first time and those who are revisiting and (perhaps) drooling over it again .

This is just mean and cruel!

[breaker]

fantastic collection!

congrats!

[basterma]

There is one of the pens you state is an M22 in the shot of the cheaper school pens. Isn't it a P10?

[Bo Bo Olson]

That is a wonderful collection, from top end to low end.

 

For also getting the low end, too. A collection is all.

 

Which ones do you like to write with most?

[oregano]

Any new additions, rdicecio? Please fill us in! For those who haven't seen this thread
