Show Off Your Pens And Gear! (Take A Photo)

[LizEF]

Here is my gear. When you realize that you have enough pens to fill two cups, you start to wonder whether or not you are having a healthy life.

 

Yeah, when you're friends stop saying, "That's a nice pen" and start saying "Why do you need another pen?", it might be time to evaluate. (Or just stop sharing your new acquisitions with the uninitiated. )

Yours is awesomely clean and uncluttered. Kudos to you.

Just joining in to say I'm another fan of the BelOMO 10x loupe. That's a fine bit of optical craft at a decent price. Use it for pens, watches, and coins.

Lots of nice stuff above.

 

Here is the small closet in which I keep my (and my wife's) pen stuff (sorry for the poor cellphone pics)

 

 

The boxes in the center might give a small hint to my favorite brand . But don't be mislead, there are lots of other boxes that can't be seen to the side and top shelf - I keep all the boxes.

 

And here is the current rotation:

Hey, that looks like a green Sheaffer Craftsman near the top of your picture. If it has an F nib, it's one of my all-time favorite pens.

[BillH]

Lam1, beautiful set up. I'd show mine but for the immediate comparisons to Oscar Madison.

Here's my small collection

 

 

The chinese and German Romus

I've got the same Harbor Freight and Tool wooden tool chest!

I'm not sure. I thought it was an Admiral (Touchdown filling), but I'm not very knowledgeable about the names of vintage pens (still at the very beginning of the learning curve). But it writes wonderfully. That one I just finished restoring and was testing before giving it to a good friend of mine (I have another for me: found 2 identical in the wild ).

BillH, we'd like to see it anyway! It's fun to see all the different styles!

Those are wonderful chests. I bought it after seeing an old thread by Sargetalon.

But I need to find some more storage space, that one is full!

Thank you! Since I (miraculously) fit my pens into 2 cups, I separate them from ballpoints and FP's. I hope to expand my collection, though I wonder if I should, and as Liz EF said:

Nice pens, especially the Waterman.

[Flippy]

What an arsenal!

 

Here's something more compact, following #killwinterwithorange trend, popular elsewhere:

What pen is that orange one? It's neat.

What pen is that orange one? It's neat.

It's a Faber-Castell Ondoro, Medium nib. Neat design, fun barrel/section colour, writes like a charm.

All I need:

Man, I'd love to own a Mont blanc. Unfortunately, I'm a student, and therefore, I don't have an income. Oh well, someday......

Some of my pens in the photo (2) are broken, and they are the Safaris. The purple one has a small cap issue, while the other has a feed issue.

[Flippy]

Anyone else got anything to show off?

[Ian the Jock]

Aye

 

Here's my desk, and ink drawer.

My desk is a bit "Broons Boatyard" but then, it is my work desk so it's to be expected.

The rest of my pens are in 2 pen cases under the desk.

Pen & ink shrine. So neat!

I recognize a Captain's Commission on the left, near some shiny demonstrator. I bought one (under your influence, of course), and can't have enough of it. One of the pens that make you say "too good to be true". Thanks for another worthy heads-up!
