    Default Hello (again)

    I wanted to drop a short note to say hello. I also wanted to explain why you will be seeing me sell-off a large amount of my pens in the near future. These days, I think it is necessary to do my best to assure you that I am really in possession of these pens, inks and nibs.

    Like many of you, I began collecting over thirty years ago by finding some pens that were in rough shape from neglect, weren’t working or just located incredible nibs with/without feeds that could be the next perfect writer. I bought tools, parts, sacs, levers, o-rings and polish in order to clean and repair my beauties. Eventually, as many do, I also started climbing the ladder to very nice collectible pens that appealed to me from dealers I met. I’ve also bought pens here from excellent members like FredRydr or over at FPN. I’ve built up a tidy little collection of pens I love over the years - some are shown in the picture.

    Recently, I’ve had some significant health challenges which make it necessary for me to liquidate my collection. I’m not looking for any sympathy just want you to understand why I’m selling. It isn’t a get rich quick thing - I’d love for "pen people" to have and enjoy these pens. I wish I was in a position to give them away, but it is just necessity to try and recover some of my investment in the pens.

    I may make a mistake in pricing, I ask the more knowledgeable among you to send me a PM if I am making a mistake - its not intentional or mercenary I promise. I also give you my word that my reputation is more important to me than money.

    Thanks very much if you made it this far for reading my story and hope to interact with you soon. Table.jpg

    Hello and welcome. Very sorry to hear about your health challenges but hope you're still enjoying some of your pens.
    I've already spotted some ink that I would like to buy.
