    Default Hello from Toronto!

    Good evening!! I just joined this forum and am very excited. I've been a member of the fountain pen reddit group and pen swap for over 1.5 years and am enjoying a collection of 10 pens currently

    1. Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Ages Midi - F
    2. Montblanc 146 - M-cursive italic
    3. Conid Bulkfiller regular - Fine CI and Broad CI
    4. Parker 51 Burgundy Aerometric - EF
    5. Pelikan vintage 400 - EF with flex
    6. Pelikan Café Creme with m400 F nib (2 chicks)
    7. Pelikan m805 Stresemann - EF
    8. Lamy 2000 - F
    9. Pilot VP - EF
    10. Stipula Etruria Rainbow Prisma 88 LE - T flex nib (I'm trying to sell this one or trade for a Red Aurora Optima... if anyone's interested - it's listed in the For Sale subforum)

    Feel free to PM me your lists, your thoughts, and what excites you!!

    wow. nice collection. Welcome to the community.

    As it looks, we share a common love of Lamy and Pelikan pens.

    Hello from the eastern end of the province! I remember when I had 10 pens in my collection. That was in the early part of this century, when I had more discipline and "okay, that's the last one" actually curbed my spending. Now I have many more than 10 and get pleasure from every single one of them, even the ones I seldom use. My favourites are my Conway Stewarts (Wellington and Churchill) and my Pelikans (800s and 805s).
