How I Display My Collection

[PBW]

I can only say wow like all the others. Absolutely amazing rooms and collection.

 

You would not happen to be looking to adopt a 39 year old would you?

"At the factory visit earlier this year, even the MB people got vapor lock when they saw the list of this unbelievable collection."

 

:roflmho: :roflmho: rockspyder is right. It was one of the highlights of the day. The MB people were excitedly showing us their most prized pens but were kinda gobsmacked when Evgeny modestly announced he had what they were showing us, and more! :ltcapd:

 

Now,......to see your collection for real, AND to think that there are TWO of these rooms

 

Thank you very much for sharing Evgeny :clap1: If you ever get stuck for space, I'm sure you can stash a few at my place. I'm sure the wife and my baby daughter wouldn't mind sleeping in the garage!

Wow, having been lucky enough to have been at the factory with you guys, I am very impressed to finally see pictures. Congratulations! This has to be one of the best personal collections of LE MB in world!

My wow meter is pinned.

Speechless... X 1,000

[stevlight]

Fantastic--good for you--I hope they bring you great joy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

and please post some more pics--ANY pens would be great.

Evgeny: this is obviously much more than a "personal pen collection", this is instead a journey through the best pen craftsmanship and art.

 

While I am sure that your pen masterworks should give you immense pleasure, they probably deserve to be widely exhibited as a tribute to the art of writing. I guess that both connoisseurs and normal people would be surprised and charmed by the quantity and quality of fine designs and superlative artisan works done around the single theme of a quite simple object as a fountain pen.

 

Maybe, with such astonishing showing rooms, you can in the future decide to open them at least once to public enjoyment. Maybe, Evgeny, yours is the largest and most beautiful permanent exhibition of high-end fountain pens on the planet!

 

Now, about your kind request, I am not sure about the year(s) of release, but do you have the Diego Rivera and the Frida Kahlo LE? I think they are among the most beautiful jewelry pens made by Montblanc, and I would be glad to see some good photos of them.

 

Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. You made some great days for many of us.

[Pen Nut]

That, sir, is stunning and you should be very proud of what you have created.

 

That that whinging Mrs Pen Nut even mutter the slightest moan about the space taken up by my pens ! " Exhibit one your Worship "

[alvarado]

One word, Salute!

[Josele]

¡Que barbaridad!

[rockspyder]

WhooooohoooooOOOOOOoooowww!!! :clap1:

Finally, Evgeny is showing some pictures, and hopefully he will show many many more individual ones!

At the factory visit earlier this year, even the MB people got vapor lock when they saw the list of this unbelievable collection. Mel Wilmore, move over...

 

Evgeny, you've started, you'll have to continue, please!!

 

Hello Wynand!

Which MB would you like to see first? (but please name a pre 2009 rare LE MB pen)

 

You can show any of them, all of them!

But if you have the Duomo di Milano, or the Charlie Chaplin, or the Black Widows, or any of the other skeletons, please show!

You'll keep everyone on FPN in awe for a very long time

 

By the way..

Your collection is incredible, but your photography is spectacular enough to publish a book on your collection..... :hmm1: give that some thought.....

[adelaidepen]

I think we are being treated to something really special with these pics and forum discussion. Sir - I take my hat off to you with the utmost respect. Earlier this year one of "the top 5 MB collections in the world" was auctioned. Your collection puts that in its place. That means we are looking at one of the top 4 - if not dare I say it - the best in the world!!! Keep the pictures coming as these pens look so much better in personal photos than photoshopped versions from MB or promo websites.

Shockingly Amazing !!!

No words can be said to fully discribe your in-house museum

Unfortunately to open to a public even in future can be a problem as the House is outside the city, it is in a gated community (or what you call it) and moreover these rooms are in the attic on the 4th floor (well 3rd as 4th is because the ground floor in Ukraine is call 1st ) and I live downstairs ) So maybe when I get old and decide to bequeath his house as a museum to public. (in fact for 6 years I was giving all my energy and second part of the money I earned (first part you know where was gone )) to his house) but that is another story

I do have a Diego Rivera so I will try to take pictures of it in the near future.

Well, I can not say I am good in product Photography. I did not buy the special equipment for that. I am practicing in landscapes and girls photos mostly. As soon as I achieve very good results I will let you know. In case someone is very interested ask me in PM and I will send you some links.

 

I think I will open a voting of which pen to take photos first

the Diego Rivera, Duomo di Milano, Charlie Chaplin, the Black Widows any other candidates?

To tell you the truth I think you may find a lot of very good quality photos of the pens in this list, so I will not be able to do them better, but what I might be really valuable for is the more rare editions of 8 and 3 pieces which are almost impossible to find in the internet. But again it is your choice!

[fountainpende]

wow !! great collection !!! :notworthy1:

 

Which MB would you like to see first?

 

If i would have two wishes, then

 

(1) I would love to see your personal favorite pen ... I mean, you have so many pens ... but, what's your personal favorite one?

 

(2) Do you have Astoria LE pens? If so, which one do you prefer?

 

Best regards

Michael

Thank you, very much. Incredibly impressive. Color, design, lighting, glass, display. It's all there. And the pens, too!!!

[ethernautrix]

I'd like to see photographs of the house, too. :-)

 

I imagine it to be very stately.

[Pen Nut]

I'd like to see photographs of the house, too. :-)

 

I imagine it to be very stately.

 

+1 and the garage

[pavoni]

Evgeny, the voting idea is a brilliant one. I'll cast a vote for the Charlie Chaplin please. I held one when we went to MB Hamburg but I really would love to see the picture of yours.
