What To Do With My John Lennon Charity Fountain Pen

Use the pen.

 

The pen will be a much sought after pen in future years, anybody wanting one of these, would be so grateful for it being available for sale, the price wont make that much a difference whether inked or not.

 

Simply keep the box and papers. It'll still sell years on from now, believe me.

Nervous? No, I'm just thinking...

Awesome display cabinet shown by Olle B. What a fantastic, albeit expensive, mission it would be to have similar displays done for all WE's etc.

The true definition of madness - Doing the same thing everyday and expecting different results......

Thanks for nice reply´s.

 

The main reason to build it was to make a "miniature Lennon memorial cabin".

The white pen was on the top of my budget, but as a piece of art it have become much more than a beautiful pen.

After making it "visuable" it have been the starting point for a lot of discussions together with friends about a wide variation of themes like, Lennon, MontB, art, and stupidity,, :embarrassed_smile:

The contents vary, at this moment it looks like this,,,,

If you are not going to use the pen, take photographs. Maintain the pen in its pristine condition. Sell the pen. Enjoy the money. Look at the pictures. Otherwise, ink the beautiful pen. Write beautiful things to people you love. Write: "We miss you , John ! To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."

 

Fountain pens are for writing. Pictures are for looking.

 

Write with joy.

Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn.
Zum Augenblicke dürft ich sagen:
Verweile doch, du bist so schön !

      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
