Lost My Favorite Pens

[Spencerwilli1]

December-January last year while on a trip to Chicago, I lost a Franklin Christoph 3 pen case with three of some of my favorite pens:

1. Pilot Custom 823 (amber, Medium). This pen will be easy to identify as I personaly modified the nib by plating it, making it two-tone

2. Platinum 3776 (blue, fine). Another easily recognizable pen as I did a unique EMF modification to the nib

3. Montblanc 644n. (green celluloid) This is a vintage pen with a very unique nib. You don't see many around. 

 

I live in Tampa, but the last place I had them was in my hotel in Chicago. It's been a couple months now, but I went through a move and was hoping that they'd pop up somewhere or I'd have one of those eureka moments and remember putting them somehwere. 

 

Please keep an eye out!

Did you contact the place you stayed in Chicago at the time?  Of course that might not have helped -- I lost a really nice leather 3 pen case on a trip to Mississippi and called the hotel in Kentucky when it wasn't in my car, but they said it hadn't been turned in. 

It had been a pretty stressful trip even before that -- got stuck in a major traffic jam the day before in a bad storm north of Louisville during evening rush hour, and some chick rear-ended us (fortunately, not a lot of damage, and the vehicle was drivable, and my two passengers were okay).  Plus, when I called my husband (driving an equipment down to the same thing) he and his co-driver didn't make it out of OHIO that night -- something blew in the rental truck's engine, and he had to hire some Teamsters at a rest area to transfer EVERYTHING in the back of the truck to a replacement truck; when we got back to Pittsburgh, and went back to the truck rental place, the guy in the office was going, "Oh, did the local office down there help you repack?"  And when we said "NO!" he was going. "ohhhh...." in a really small voice.

Did you call the airline(s) and any ground transportation companies you used, while there?
