Hello from Lisbon

[piscov]

Hi all,

I am a FP geek!!!!

My name is Vasco and i am from Lisbon, Portugal!

I´ve been collecting fountain pens since 2005. I collect pens until 1960 mostly Montblanc, Pelikan, Soennecken, Parker ( Vacumatic, P51 & Duofold) and Sheaffer Balance OS and Triumph.

I don't have only a favorite pen, but I do love the pelikan 500, Montblanc 146 Striated green and Soennecken 111 Extra. I love the feeling of old celluloide or hard rubber in my hands.

Recently I've bought a lathe and started turning pens, and I've became addicted. Some day I will share some pictures with you "geeks".

All the best

Vasco

Welcome welcome.

I'm looking for a Parker Vacumatic myself so I would love to see photos of your collection. Can't wait to see the photos of the pens you've turned, whenever that happens.

Welcome to the board. I don't think I have seen a MB 146 striated green before. I will have to search for that.

Hi Piscov and welcome to the FPG forum.
Sounds like you have quite a mature collection of foutain pens and those MB striated Pens are very striking and un-usual.

Look foward to seeing your Vacumatics too.

Hi Vasco, welcome! With a collection like that, you will feel right at home here. And who knows what other things you will find to enjoy because there are inks, papers, blotters . . . Oh my! :-)
