It's All In How You Look At It. [ For The Price ]

I picked this up on Sunday at the Elkhorn WI flea market.

I paid $185 for this from the sale of these two pens from the Chicago Pen Show.

The two pens sold for $100 each.

I picked these up last Aug. in a lot if 15 pens [ mostly Parkers ] for $115 [ $127.05 with tax ]

That comes to $8.47 a pen.

The two early Parker ring tops were too nice for me and went to a new home.

 

So as I look at it the P51 Demo only cost me $17.00.

 

Works for me.

I also picked up a P51 Ball point for $15.

I don't think that 51 price was bad at all. Fifteen bucks for the 51 ballpoint. Great deal. A winner all around.

I think [ know ] I made a good deal for this pen. I did find a nice single Parker box for the pen and now resides in one of the counter displays that I have just for the P51's.

Ken, I would like to see what kind of counter display you have for your 51s. Any chance?

Since when this photo was taken I have placed the counter case on the Parker 3ft. floor case.

 

I have upgraded some of the P51's also.

      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
