What else do you collect?
« on: Sat, 31 July 2010, 19:51:08 »
It's a fact that most people on this forum collect keyboards. But, what else do you collect? I started to collect fountain pen. I have:

- Waterman Phileas
- Lamy Safari with italic nibs (2)
- Pelikan M205 demo blue pen with Binderized italic nib
- Pelikan M200 demo blue pen with Binderized italic nib
- Mabie Todd Swan Leverless (vintage) with italic stub
- Parker Junior Duofold (English)

I was going to build a bigger collection over time, but after I accidentally got an italic stub pen (Mabie Todd) which was described a medium on eBay, I turned to italic nib and when I got what I needed I stopped buying pens. Most pens are not avaible with italic nibs. Italic handwriting needs an...italic nib.

The fountain pen world is worse than the keyboard world in my opinion. A Sailor (Japan) with a 22 K gold nib cost around $300-400 in Canada, the price of a Filco and a Topre.

I did not check the other forum because pen was not an electronic device :-)
