Inexpensive Case For 4-5 Pens And A Hand Full Of Ink Sample Vials

Hello!

 

I'm new to fountain pens. My fiance got me into them in an interesting way. She purchased a Lamy safari,I tried it and wasn't particularly interested. Later that week we are at a thrift store and I spot a little plastic case with some interesting looking pens. My intuition tells me they might be fountain pens and I can get them for her, it will really make her day. Turns out they were in fact fountain pens Parker 51 aeromatics to be exact. My fiance looked them up and told me all the history about them, and started of with these are the world's most desirable pens. Quoting the Parker add.

 

Fast forward a month, and I've cleaned up the two parkers, purchased two 45's and nice lever fill parkette. My problem is that I'm a graduate student studying physics. I essentially need my pens all the time, but I feel bad about them jostling around in my bag. Also I've been carrying around a bottle of Quink praying that it doesn't shatter.

 

 

Anyway,what i'm asking for is recommendations for an inexpensive pen case,(say less than 20$?) That is capable of holding 3-5 pens and a minimum of 3 ink sample vials(from gouletpens). Depending on the day, I may need to use any of black/blue/red in a pen. I've seen several cheapo pen case but none seem to be able to carry any amount of ink.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

A few months ago I picked up (ebay I think) a couple of zippered pen cases that hold up to 12 pens. They were very inexpensive and each pen is held in with elastic. Plus they look nice. They will easily hold both Goulet sample vials, and your pens. This is the same one I bought.

      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
