Re: just some pen pics from time to time...
Nice pics. I want to ah too if that's ok? :)
I collected typewriters at one point. All are gone but two, my mom's portable Smith Corona from ca. 1940 and my Royal Quiet Deluxe of similar vintage.

I don't know what fountain pens my mom used but probably more likely a 21—or even third tier pen—than a 51.

How big was your collection, and where/how did you display and store them?
If you ever journey near Lansdale, Pennsylvania USA, Robert DeBarth, a dealer of mechanical and early electric office equipment is still in business after 75 years, and has an inventory of (now vintage) equipment ready to go (plus parts galore), including typewriters. Irascible but worth the effort to make friends.

It was smallish in number, just 7 or 8. Nothing rare or expensive just some standard examples from the 10s - 40s.
Unfortunately, I didn't display most of them, didn't use them often, and storing them in closets was a shame and took up space.
I miss my Underwood No. 5 the most.
I hadn't heard of DeBarth. Good to know.

It's amazing what a proper amount of light can show us about a pen in a photograph :)

Re: just some pen pics from time to time...
Absolutely right.
Sometimes, I can see details on the photographs which I hadn‘t noticed before.
That‘s why I am using a strong flashlight.
