Fountain Pen Day is coming soon. I looked at the 2022 topic I created, and saw I bought a Franklin-Christoph pen a week before. And oh my, I’ve done it again. I received a Franklin-Christoph model 3 Iterum pen from their sale. It was $88.75 without a nib. I have two spare F-C nibs, an EF and a music nib. I found the music nib, and that is the one I installed. I also bought a vintage Parker 51 Demi pen that arrived today as well. It is the one I filled with Parker Ruby that dates to the late 1990s or early 2000s. Here’s the question: anyone planning Fountain Pen Day purchases? I bought the swag from the Fountain Pen Day website. It’s red this year. I’m not sure if I’ll buy anything, except maybe the cake I used to buy for it. It’s a Hershey’s Triple Chocolate cake.

I am not an addictive person. I own 11 fountain pens. Does a Pilot Kakuno count? I think I covered the major countries: Japan, Germany, Italy When is enough? Is it a number? Is it a gut feeling (like when your spouse reminds you in the love handles) Is it a limit on brand/model acquisition? My collection ranges from stinky Ahab to brightly sweet Aurora 88 I don't intend to sell my pens and all bought with hard earned dough. I'd say there's no irresponsible spending and yet some start a pause because they cost more than a laptop. Yet every time I think this is the last, very last, final, ultimate, "one", some thing else pops up. Are you sated yet?
