Hello!
I'm Blake and I've been collecting for a couple years now. Restoring for about half that time.
For me its about preserving history and being able to have these pens around for other generations to enjoy. Restoring is also a good outlet for me in dealing with some mental health issues that showed up during the start of the pandemic.
My preferences are pretty diverse, but I do have a soft spot for Parkers and Conways.
Its nice to find this forum. I don't generally meet many pen collectors in my day to day.
If anyone else is out there from Chicago, let me know. I live in Pilsen on the southside and would love to meet some new people in the city.
I do need to thin out my collection though, so I'll be listing some pens for sale soon.
And if anyone is interested in selling some unrestored pens or have a good source you would be willing to share, please let me know.
I need to keep busy :)
Nice to meet you all!
