Hello from Kirkland, WA (originally from San Jose, CA)
Hey there, I see many familiar names/ faces/ avatars here.
I know many of you from FPN, Pentrace, Zoss, etc.
I've been collecting fountain pens since 1995. I started with Pelikan 800-family pens, particularly the LE's.
A couple years later, I discovered the even wider world of vintage.
I still collect both vintage and modern. I usually carry modern pens day-to-day, since they are generally easier to replace than special vintage ones.
I have around a thousand pens now, and particularly focus* on:
Modern: Bexley, particularly the Poseidon family; Omas Tokyos; the chunkier Deltas; Lamy Safaris
Vintage: Early (pre-1935, but the earlier the better) Waterman; LeBoeuf; Esterbrook (everything); Sheaffer PFM; Sheaffer Tuckaway; Sheaffer Petite Balance; Sheaffer Signature/ Autograph; Wahl Bantams
Looking forward to spending some time here,
greg
* I know, this is clearly not much of a "focus."
