What Are The Most Pens You Own Of A Single Brand or Model?

I have four Pilot Preras. A lovey little pen.

[caleath]

Sheaffers, mostly snorkels and other touchdown fillers

[Waski_the_Squirrel]

I own more Noodler's, especially Konrads than any other kind of pen.

[kaisnowbird]

Parker (to my own surprise :noidea:), with one more on the way to stay on top.

[Robert]

I have six Pelikans: one M1000; four M800's (including a never-used LE Concerto, which I'm thinking of selling); and one 200.

[jar]

Sheaffer and Parker.

[cedargirl]

I have five Parker 45s. Don't know how that happened. But I do love them.

[Bogon07]

Lamy Safaris then Al-Stars.

[tytoalba]

Lamy Safari, Esterbrook, Sheaffer, Waterman.

[pajaro]

Parker 51, 30+.

[fpquest]

10 Pilots, 6 are Vanishing Points so wins on both counts which surprised me.

[dannzeman]

Parker, by far. Vacumatics are the basis of my collection.

[ThriveToScribe]

What Are The Most Pens You Own Of A Single Brand or Model?

Parker, but am surprised to see the Watermans at a close second. Must be the five Philèas pens I bought over a year's time, in different colors to match my inks. Now the inks outnumber all my pens!

[jbb]

I have five Wahl ringtops.

[fountainpenkid]

Parker Vacumatic and Pelikan 400 are tied for me...eventually I plan to have all 5 of the slender vacumatic colors though...

[caribbean_skye]

Pilots and Parkers, 3 each.

[franzdimson]

Parker pens. Specially Sonnets, 8. A couple 51's and UK duofolds. Sonnets are such nice and perfect pens.

[woosang]

Lamy Safaris I have almost all the colours

[franzdimson]

Lamy Safaris I have almost all the colours

A very nice collection too! =)

[liapuyat]

Pelikans, followed by vintage Sheaffers.

[jor412]

Vintage Sheaffers

[mhphoto]

Vintage Watermans.

[Tracy Lee]

Visconti. 25 of them. So far. Today. ;):D

[Uncle Red]

Waterman Hard Rubber pens by a few lengths with Sheaffer and Esterbrook tied for second.

[hellomms]

[cwent2]

Six Noodler's Ink Company Pens

[stevekolt]

MontBlanc - 4, Visconti - 4, Lamy - 3, Monteverde - 3, Pilot -3...and a couple of others here and there

Oh, how do you BEAR living with that burgundy slender vac...it must be quite to small for your hand...why not just send it over ;) ;) ;) (envy :))

[thagbert]

Visconti. 25 of them. So far. Today. ;):D

Excellent!

Whoa...that is quite something! (If you haven't already, I'm putting in a suggestion for a group shot :))

[I like mango pudding]

whoa, you guys really live up to the geek moniker..:)

And I thought I had too many.

I have two MB's, and a couple of no namers that I don't even look at anymore.

Now, I have confidence in getting my third pen.

no kidding...

wait till I tell you how many coffee machines I have :p

[matveik]

I thought it would be Pelikan, but no, Visconti! I wonder if having to get up and go count instead of relying on memory counts toward FP geek status or against it.

[ethernautrix]

Eight Nakayas.

[calluna]

Of a single model... I'd have to say Sheaffer Balance, even though they are not the primary focus of my collection. They just happen, kind of like Esterbrooks.

[Tracy Lee]

Visconti. 25 of them. So far. Today. ;):D

Yes, will do that this weekend if I can, unless that one I just purchased hasn't arrived by then. Then early next week.

[UK Mike]

Tracy Lee: I have to say that I share your love for Visconti pens, although I only have 5 so I have a long way to go yet.

Great minds think alike, right?? What five do you have?

[JimK]

I think I have 7 different Rotring Art Pens, all different nibs. That's the most I have of any one model, I'm pretty sure!

[orfew]

I have 18 MBs. Here are some of them.

[crazystan]

Edison - 4 and counting. Soon to be five (I hope), unless I can talk myself into a Nakaya. ;)

[Zanshin]

Vintage Conway Stewarts, was 24 until I sold 2 to a colleague at work, then UK Duofolds, 8 Duofolds and 4 Juniors. Not for long though, bar one or two they'll all be sold soon.

[BikerBabe]

It's either Pelikan or Parker, I'm not sure, I haven't counted them.

[Honey Mustard]

Of one model, Sheaffer (quasi)Imperials (if you count 440s 330s, iVs as the same) and of one brand, Pilot wins hands down.

[Deb]

Mabie Todd Swans and Blackbirds beyond counting. Have a look at my blog...

[snedwos]

Lamy. 2 Safaris, a NexxM and a Vista. I also own 2 Sheaffer'ses. All the rest of my pens are unique as far as brand is concerned.

[snedwos]

Trying to work out how much your purse would weigh if you paid for that in pennies... Fantastic collection.

[anaximander]

This is a very interesting thread. Going by brand, I have the most Pelikans (10; but I might sell one or two). Going by model, I have three Sheaffer Balances.

[Pensfan]

As much as I love my Pelikans, I have more Parkers than anything else combined even. Between 51s, Vacumatics, and Duofolds, my Parker outnumber all the others.

[nxn96]

By brand, Parker. By model, I would say the Parker 51, with sort of a "bell shaped curve" of the models preceding and following the 51 Aerometric.

[Jon Szanto]

Easy: Sheaffer. From about 1924 through 1990's.

[Jerome Tarshis]

When I saw the title of the thread, I assumed that it would attract the most profligate or, let us say, dedicated, among us. With the possible exception of Deb, in Scotland, that hasn't happened.

Where are all those people who own hundreds of pens? Or indeed thousands.

So I feel encouraged to contribute my own relatively small numbers to this account. Eleven Cross fountain pens, followed by Parker with eight. Among those, five Parker 51s. All of that is as nothing compared with the numbers that could be cited by some who post here.

And later I realised that I had forgotten to count the calligraphy pens...hm! :p :D

Hi snedwos! Yes, you're right. For years I did a weekly sale in ebay. Now I do them rather less frequently but it's a useful way to clear old stock.

[JustDaveyB]

37 Pelikans - 19 of them M6XX

I took an image of my full collection this morning to post on my blog.

[Runnin_Ute]

Two.

Waterman Phileas - one with fine and the other a medium nib.

[kps]

I have a hundred-something brightly coloured Inoxcrom children's pens that I bought for around 25¢ each to use as giveaways.

[david i]

1000+ vintage Parkers.

Here are some of them...

I have a slew of Parker 35s and a bunch of Viscontis. Yeah, makes no sense to me, either.

The Vacumatic Crystals are neat variants, mimicking the Vac Demonstrator as they do. But, I have many. No. The King of the Vacs, one of a handful known to the hobby, is a bit more significant ;)

[chiaroscuro]

5 Kawecos: a 1970s V16N OB in burgundy, a '60s-ish? V16 F in black, two Classic Sports (basic black and one guilloche), one AL Sports in black (it's really a dark charcoal).

If I find the Visconti version with the piston filler at a sane price, I'll stop (yeah right).

Spectacular collection David. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

[Drow]

5 Faber Castells - their nibs make butter seem scratchy in comparison.

[Paul-H]

Hi Guys

Not many pens at the moment as I have only just started collecting them, or only just realized I am collecting them:)

6 Parkers 1 Duofold AF, 1 Sonnet, 2 Slimfolds, 1 45 and 1 Vector

6 JINHAO, 5 x450 and 1 159

2 Baoer 388 Classics, Which bizarrely although they are copies of Parker sonnets actually write better than my actual Sonnet.

1 Conway Stuart Dinky 550.

Not bad for the first couple of weeks as a collector I suppose, and watching a couple of must haves as we speak.

Which would that be? One of the early Vac crystals?

Here's a gift. A photo I did years ago.

The Crystal pattern Vacumatic was early production, late 1933-34 in USA. Most are two-cap-band short pens, Vacumatic Junior. They look like true Demonstrators sans the "Demo" imprint. What is not known to most (indeed, many then old-guard collectors asserted my claim to having one was in error) is that a high-line Vacumatic Standard was produced as Crystal also. The story of how I proved that pen will wait for another day. The Vacumatic Standard in Crystal is frankly rare.

The following photo shows some of the charm of Vacumatic collecting. First Generation Vacs in standard size in all possible transparency patterns. Black pens can be killer and Vacs offer special elements to black pens since clarity patterns varied over the years.

This is the only photo every done anywhere of Vacumatic Standard in black with true-Opaque, typical latitudinal rings, longitudinal windows and Crystal patterns.

[tintak]

Sailors:

-two Profit Mozaiques (slightly larger w. 14K nibs)
-a Sapporo Mini.
(All are modern pens,............ I'm the vintage one :).)

Sheaffer's- followed by Esterbrook and Parker!
