:unsure: I was overwhelmed by the amount of information available in all the forums that I neglected to introduce myself first!

 

My name is Angelo Bedolla, I was born in Habana Cuba. I have been collecting pens since I was 11 years old, I recently lost over 15k pens in my divorce. I am back into collecting, now focusing on Esties. I have fallen in love with them, and there is nothing I love more in the world right now.

 

I have just started to repair my own pens and I look for to being a productive member of the Fountain Pen Network.

Looking forward to reading your posts.

I recently lost over 15k pens in my divorce.

Is that 15,000 individual pens, or $15,000.00 worth of pens? :blink: Either way, WOW! I'm also sorry for your loss.

 

Welcome!

Welcome to FPN, Angelo. I've enjoyed your posts and look forward to more of them.

 

Yikes! 15K? Seems pretty brutal.

 

But I'm glad that you are back into collecting. Lots of Estie fans here. I only have four of 'em myself but they're great little pens, all of 'em.

Hi Angelo,

 

Welcome to FPN! I'm sure you're going to find the bunch here a great, be it slightly mad, group of fun loving pen crazies :D!

 

Warm regards, Wim

Hi Angelo! Welcome to FPN :D

Is your current avatar an Esterbrook?

My husband and I went to Cuba on vacation (we're from Canada) about 8 years ago and we had a great time in Havana and Veradero. It was pretty hot in the capital in mid-July...Don't think we'll go there at the hottest time of year again. :rolleyes: The beaches at Veradero were gorgeous, though....

      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
