Count me in as another blue pen lover. I didn't realize it until I gathered them all up for this thread, but I've collected 65 blue pens. I've just switched to a new (to me) photo hosting service so this is also a test to see how well it works and how well I understand how it works. :ltcapd:

 

OK, there are 65 pens here so you'll have to scroll a lot to see them all. But I've labeled them all so you can tell what they are. They are in six groups of 11 pens each, except that the last group has only 10. Within each group the relative sizes are accurate. Actually, the first two and last two groups should all be to the same scale. The two middle groups are to the same scale as each other, but not to the other four groups. That long Pilot Parallel Pen made those groups wider so they got reduced a bit with respect to the other four groups.

 

I think the prettiest pens are some of the Italian pens in the very last group.

This is the only blue fountain pen I own, for the time being (Parker IM).

But, since blue is by far my favorite color, I believe that soon enough my ‘blue collection’ will be enriched.

Bill, I am drooling at your blue collection LOL! Wow!

 

P.S. Does Picard know you're in his chair?

Glad you like the collection. Here's a Sheaffer Fashion ballpoint that I sometimes use to sign credit card slips.

I did not ask Captain Picard for his permission to sit in the chair. Once upon a time there was an exhibit called "The Star Trek Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel. Among other things displayed there was a full-sized replica of the main bridge of the Enterprise-D and you could have your photo taken in the chair for a not-so-nominal fee. Unfortunately, it's all gone now and all the items there have been auctioned off and scattered around the world. Like Humpty-Dumpty, it can never be put together again. But I have that picture and many fond memories!
