Hi,
I've been in the hobby... a long time
The case is full, 2200 or so pens and related pencils, dating mostly 1915-1955. And that's but a fraction of the pens lying about, counting sales stock for the Vacumania website. The "Jade" pens are 1920's and 1930's green celluloid, a color the companies indeed called... "Jade".

Hi inBOIL, you are not alone.
Every Sunday, I enjoy a bruch laid out on the coffee table with my laptop playing the Geeks' podcast from the night before (I'm on Australia time). I also save my favourite episodes and play them in a marathon when I have a big stack of shirts to iron - A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, so to speak.

Hi guys.
Today I think I finally found a solution that I'm happy about, when it comes to storing my pens.
I found some nice three-layer plastic boxes, and I promptly bought four three-layer boxes when I found out that they fitted a modern average fp nicely.

There's some nice little ridges inside which fits nicely with pens, at least temporarily:

I'm planning to buy some fp tray insert thingies next month, depending on how many bills I've got to pay.
But this works nicely for now, and I'm happy about it.
Here's one box, trays taken apart:

So now all I need to do is to sort the pens alphabetically again, get those inserts, and find a way to index the boxes.
