Finally added a Black 146 and Bordeaux 146 next to my 147 & 149. The drawer is now complete.

@omarcenaro It is lovely to behold a stellar composition and organisation such as this.  Thank you for sharing the culmination of what one can surmise was very satisfying project. Congratulations on your collection!

Great solution @omarcenaro and a nice piece of furniture to start with.

Thank you sir and you have a good eye. It’s a Biedermeier from Austria. My wife’s family is from Austria. My father-in-law was an International Banker. This desk went from Austria to San Francisco and then to London and then back to Austria. Every drawer can be locked so the desk has lots of keys and it’s the only way to pull open the drawer. My father-in-law gifted me the desk a few years back and I had it shipped from Austria to Houston, Texas where it will now stay and be passed on along with the pens to our children. 78C9D5E8-733D-43B6-A767-818816D87D28.thumb.jpeg.35e346587dd9dcf265acf5864fa5d433.jpeg60C3EFD3-A0F8-4E1C-A1A1-EA7D478B6605.thumb.jpeg.722d456d3c8891fded2b9dce258e5283.jpegF75E2008-B920-44C1-98CC-73F9BCC1C9BF.thumb.jpeg.4052fb34c3458d675526838b375f7c4c.jpeg

None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come. But soon all that will be left of our brief lives is the pride our children feel when they speak our names.

      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
