    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".

    regards

    seems photoshoppy enough, theres no glossy reflection of him unlike the object on the top righ.
    and its hart to believe theres a bright spot under your feet lol.
    but still an impressive inventory nonetheless

    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.

    Since getting it, I've cleaned it vigorously and have interested some custom felt pen inserts by BamaPens. Strangely, I'm 90% filled up. I need to sell my more unique pens that I don't use as often.

    Pardon the cruddy point-n-shoot photos.

    (And yes: i know i have 2 copies of Jailbird, for some reason.)
    Let's just say I'm associated with this company, and I definitely like your take on the brand. I've never seen the wings in cardboard boxes though...

    It's just before I'd wager that your father did the same, gathering his things in one box at a time.

    Bogon07: True, that! *wink*
    The box itself has got that marble type pattern, it's italian alabaster, I found it at a local thrift shop:



    The dip pen rack is originally a pen rack for office use, according to my mother.
    The lady is 84, and learned how to use at first a chalkboard tablet, then pencil and finally a dip pen at school, before she got old enough to get a fountain pen of her own at her confirmation and baptising in 1943.
    I have that pen, a Matador button filler as far as I remember, and I'll have it restored to full writing condition some day soon, once I get that cap for my red Duofold, and a clip replacemement for my Sailor 1911 (- it's currently somewhere in Japan right now...)

    All: Thank you for your comments and kind words.
    I also really like this box, though I thought it was burl when I first saw it. What are the dimensions?

    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:

    DSC_3435.JPG

    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:

    DSC_3425.JPG

    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.

    Hi there.

    Outside measurements:
    Height: 5,8 cm = 2.28 inches.
    Width: 13,5 cm = 5.31 inches.
    Depth: 9,5 cm = 3.74 inches.
