    Talking Pelikan Collection, just for fun (share yours)

    So I'm moving (aaaaaahhhhh) and part of that is packing up all my pens cause I'm not letting movers touch them! Normally they live in a nice cabinet. For the move I bought one of those folder carriers. I didn't buy a big enough one, it is full and I still have about 8 pens to pack. Oops, I have a bigger collection than I thought.

    So for for the first time ever I sort of had a chance to shoot my Pelikan collection, part of my Montblanc collection is shown too, missing a wartime 144 that is currently in use. Thought you all might enjoy!

    The travel cases are excellent for carrying and transporting our pens. Lovely collection and case.

    You know, T, it isn't fair with you being in the clergy. Makes it all squicky to think about absconding with your lovely collection!

    You have a beautiful collection. How do you like the tortoise 101N? I have the modern reissue but am still lusting over a vintage model.

    Mine is not a terribly well preserved copy. The cap is a very different color than the body, and the body bindes had some cracks that Rick Propos stabilized. And I find if I don't keep it filled with water the cork almost immediately dries out and won't draw ink, hold a seal, etc. It is a rather finicky pen. The nib is a fairly flexible fine, which isn't what I usually use but can be quite fun. I find I'm too worried about it getting damaged to use it much. Would like one of the new ones with a nice italic nib for everyday use.

    Beautiful collection, Tandaina! It's nice to see them all lined up together like that. Thanks for starting this thread--I was thinking of starting one too, just to have some more Pelikan eye candy

    forgot to mention, I'm waiting on a pen (or two), will add a pic of my flock when it arrives! Also, does your 101N need a new cork? Is that why it's drying out, or are they just
    finicky, as you said?

    Love your flock of birds Tandaina! It seems to be a very well curated selection. I had to give up on the folding travel cases a while ago due to the size of my collection. I'm afraid if I moved, my birds wouldn't know where to flock. Here is 90% of my flock, just for fun.

    These are gorgeous, wonderful collections. What a pleasure for the eyes. I love that white tortoise shell. I have a lowly 2 M800s - blue striped and the tortoise shell brown...but am slowly building :-)

    Taking this opportunity to bow to your collection of Pelikans.

    Kind regards from another admirer of Pelikan.

    Here are most of mine. I still have a few I haven't gotten around to photographing, as well as the matching pencils for some of these. The 400NN is my favorite of them all.

    This is my flock of Pelikans... love these pens!



    Not nearly as much as the other we've seen in this thread though.

    To think I got my first Pelikan (M800 Tortoise) on February 2013, these birds definitely multiply.
