    Talking I'm, like, new, and stuff - happy to be here!

    Hey, friends, I figured it was time to finally register and participate!

    I have been collecting pens for almost a year now, and I have been all over the map. These days, though, my focus has become collecting pens in the Parker 51 family (51, 51 Special, and 21). I have two more on the way, a cocoa Aero 51 and a green 21.

    However, I also have my first two older Shaeffers on order, as well. (Wait, I have had some Shaeffer school pens, and those were great.) I have a Targa and a Snorkel w/ matching Pencil on the way from Peyton Street. They're such gorgeous pens; I have no doubt that classic Shaeffers will also join my collection drive.

    Welcome! You'll find lots of like minded people here. And different interests too.

    I don't really collect, though I have a dozen or so - mostly vintage. I've got some Shaeffer school pens - for years they were my favorite. I just discovered I have a Targa 1001 but I haven't tried it. I don't like the look of it, but it feels good and I'm told they write well.

    Terrie is great. Also wander by Pendemonium and see what Sam has that will strike you fancy. Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

    Hehe - the problem with Pendemonium is that they have TOO many things I want, every time I visit.

    Thanks! Re Shaeffer school pen: They really are great little pens. Kind of the Preppy of their day.

    Except that I would be shocked if the plastic in a Preppy will last 50 or 60 years.

    Welcome

    (NB: Correct spelling is Sheaffer ---- Sheaffer Targa)

    D'oh! You're right. LOL

    I have had in my mind for awhile that it was supposed to be "aeffer", intentionally confusing. So I have trained myself to write it that way.

    Welcome and spelling does nothing to our enthusiasm!
    I use a fountain pen and a paper planner - paperinkplan.wordpress.com
