:) My only concern is after i am gone, it would be sold for peanuts. I have been on the other side where relatives sell collection pieces for pennies cause for them is just "pens". btw they All FPs, except pencils which are part of sets.

Congrats T, it's a beautiful collection! Many great and unique peaces there.

It looks as you carefully selected each one, without hesitating to take several of the kind when considered worthy...

And as a cherry on a cake, a tasty selection of classic.

I feel as I just started collecting but the idea crossed my mind as well as for the time being my kids also don't seem to care. I still hope that they'll get interested sometimes.

Which pens are you using on a daily basis?

Do you have a favorite?

Current modern daily users: Montegrappa Miya, Omas AM87, S.T.Dupont D-Line, Stipula Etruria Tuscany Dreams, Tibaldi Modello 60.

Current vintage daily users: Aurora 98p, Big Red Lucky Curve, MB622, P51, P75, Pelikan NN400.

Thank you guys. I am trilled to share it with you.

 

I guess my favorite one always be Montegrappa Tiger, since it was the first and started it all, and signifies my son sign, which was the reason that i bought it. It is so funny cause i paid $230 for it on pens.it(used to be called Giardino Italiano i beleive) back in 1998, it was on sale :))))

If you want the pens to be put to loving use then you can always include me in your will.

The same issue arose with my collection, years ago. :(

Conclusion: I don't expect that I will care much. :angry:

:eureka: Just in case, though, I'm taking several favorites with me.

uninked & undipped, does it mean they are all still brand new?

I'd leave a sheet of paper in the cases with the value of the pens, although you might take a family member with you from sticker shock...

 

And lovely collection by the way :)

Interesting subject, one which has provoked deep thought on several occasions. I know I cannot recoup everything I've spent on pens, inks, cases, chests, paper, repair tools, repair supplies, repair books etc. However, I would like to recoup as much money as possible from the pens at some stage. It's just a case of when, perhaps when I retire. As collections are difficult to build due to availability, price and other factors, I expect they're equally difficult to disseminate due to similar reasons. I admire Sasha Royale's conclusion :).

Could one appoint FPN as an executor of the sales?

      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
