Lets See Your Pen Collection - And win a bottle of ink, too!
Starting now and ending on Saturday, February 4th at 9am PST FPGeeks is giving away a bottle of Platinum Mix Free Earth Brown ink thanks to Luxury Brands Distributor. All you have to do to enter is to take a picture of your pen collection, even if it's only one pen, and post it in this thread. We'll choose a winner at random and announce it here and in the FPGeeks Podcast Episode 11. Good luck!
Pen Collection
Here's mine - Attachment 167 or at least most of them
Holy cow! You have inspired me to photograph my (paltry compared to that) collection.

I keep my pens in a variety of glass cases, buying them as my collection grew. The last is the pen case I carry everyday. 10 Visconti ( I have others I don't carry every day) my Jupiter by Classic Pens (#42 of 100) which is 4 the from the left, and the rather obvious Oversized Delta Dolce Vita.

Wow. Very nice. I'm loving that Stealth faceted VP, but you already know that. ;-)Originally Posted by Okami
What do you think of the carbon fiber Kaweco Sport? That pen seriously catches my eye.
My paltry few. Well, the ones in good working order. IMG-20120128-00144.jpg
Don't see many Parker 25s, guttaperk - I have the mechanical pencil from the same range. Back in the '80s, it seemed a terribly glamourous and modern design!
Dan: Have you seen the "Art Sport" range?

I like the marbled finishes on those a lot.

This is my first attempt to upload a photo here at the FP Geek forums, but I thought I might participate in this thread by uploading a photo of what is in use today. Or, this week really.
I hope I've done this correctly.

Here is my fledgling collection, many thanks to your suggestions.

Here are mine
Not a huge collection but it's steadily growing!
right now the only ones I've got inked are 3 viscontis, the MB, and the Lamy 2000, the most understated one of the bunch!
(Missing is the the Teal coloured Parker 51 LE, a great writer despite everyone saying "It's NOT a real 51"!!

My Fountain Pens
IMG_6035.jpg
Here's most of my collection of fountain pens (I have some other pens "retired" in drawers). These travel with me on a mostly daily basis, except for the desk pen of course. They are resting on 2 of the travel wrap cases.
I didn't include the felt tips, rollerballs, pencils, or gel ink pens. Nice to see other collections in this thread, with some commonalities such as Lamy Safaris, Noodler's, Sheaffer, etc. I admit I have a few Chinese look-alikes in my pack -- it's impressive what you can get for $5-20, especially if you're willing to tolerate some imperfections and perhaps make some adjustments.

Andrew, what is the silver pen second from far left please? So interesting looking! Lovely collection.

That is a Jinhao double dragon pen (Chinese) which I recently got through an ebay seller for about $20 including shipping from Hong Kong. It included some Parker cartridges and uses a converter. It has an oversize nib with a broad stroke and writes quite smoothly. It's mostly metal and quite heavy, especially when posted.
One issue with these Chinese pens is they sometimes stall, I think because the feed is not properly allowing air to replace the vacuum, or maybe the feed just can't keep up with the required flow. Anyway giving the converter a bit of a twist puts some positive pressure on the ink, and the pen writes fine again for a couple more days, so it's not really a problem, especially considering the price.

I really like the carbon fiber Kaweco Sport. It is a great little pen. And the Stealth VP was a true steal on FleaBay - it was listed as a black Pilot pen, with bad photos.

Those Kaweco Art Sports are very cool!!
Thank you so much for the kind compliment! The Postal is one of my favorite pens. Very comfortable in the hand.
Pens!

Love it, AndyLa! All that wonderful Rhodia and Claire Fontaine, and the glass pen a nice touch. I have several and always forget they can be so much fun. Thanks for showing us!
