mini collections...

What a great collection!
This shows the very true spirit of a real mini-collection. Congrats!
I'm jealeous. Not of your collection but of your taste and sence for collecting.

Thanks you guys! It's been a long time in the making. Thought I'd never find that darn Toothbrush

[Monkey]

Wow that's a gorgeous collection, popcod!

Most of my pens are Parker's. These are 51's, VS, VP, 61's and 75's.

You have an impressive collection! How did you reproduce the graphic on the case?

Fred,
The graphic was a stick on 'decal'. I don't remember where I got the case nor do I remember how much I paid for it. A few weeks ago I saw 'an original' case for sale. The price wasn't bad but the shipping was expensive considering its bulk.
Thank you for the complement. I need to give it some more direction to fill in some holes without living on Mac and Cheese for the next ten years.

great nakayas jar!

here comes a very small selection of cartridge parkers with funny nibs:



I really have a weak spot for pens of this aera.

Love the Parkers! I'm not too knowledgeable about them yet, having just purchased my first one. Could you please be kind enough to tell me which is which in these beauties?

Something modern - being a fan of clipless Franklin-Christophs there are a few here of some different models and colours that I like in particular. I am happy with this group and can't imagine enlarging it much more except maybe to add a Panther 40 or maybe another rarer colour finish from the usual current choices. Always on the look out!

I love this thread, it's really interesting to see what people have - thanks for starting it!

Fourth from the left . . . Gorgeous.

[kevmid]

Yes! Fourth from the left is a Pocket 66 limited edition in pearlescent purple swirl - one of my favourites!

F-C often choose elegant refined colours for their pens but now there are moves to more bright, even neon colours such as the recent model 45 in lemon/lime and the model 31 with red or yellow sections. Unfortunately I can't attend pen shows as there they often offer an interesting range of trial colours which never make it to their website. When other members post show photos it is always very interesting and frustrating at the same time!

I have an interest on modern pens. This is my mini collection of P51 homages

There were a few T1 pens brought out for sale at the Columbus Ohio Pen Show. I'd never had a close look at one before. Servicing a T1 appears to be a real challenge.

Late 30s solid colour Blackbirds

400/500 size Pelikans -- my favorite!

[amk]

Wow, that's a wonderful collection of 400s - particularly the lighter tortoise versions. How long did it take to find all of them?

Thanks for jumping in here!

Sometimes I start collecting a certain brand without noticing I am actually doing it.

[soot]

The light tortoises were only acquired just last year. The rest were gathered in a span of six years, on and off.
