Can I edit the poll afterwards?

 

Shaun

Hi Shaun,

 

I think you can, I just checked, but it doesn't say anything specific about editing polls. You can edit your own posts, so I assume you can edit your own poll too. Just one note: if you do edit the poll, the previous votes wil be lost, everything starts from scratch. So you might just as well set up a new poll, if you like.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

[Macuser]

im the person who marked one pen, by the way, lol

Runaway now before it is too late.

 

I found this forum before I found my first fountain pen. I learned so much, I eventually bought 5 pens and have about 4 more on my "must buy this year" list.

 

My modest collection includes:

 

Cross ATX

Aurora Ipsilon

MontBlanc Generation

Hero 100

Hero 329

[grasshopper]

I'm taking the fifth on this one! JC

I don't think the Amendments apply to non-US residents but I'm claiming the Fifth too!!

[Glenn-SC]

OK, I counted.

 

286!

 

There, you happy?

 

(Count does not include my sons pens.)

[aircraft_electrician]

I feel myself slipping farther down the slippery slope of fountain pen ownership

A slippery slope indeed! My collection is up to 45 now, if you don't count my vintage self-filling Kohinoor technical pens (hey they're reallly not fountain pens)

 

And to think, it all started just seven months ago when I found the Waterman Phileas my mom gave me about ten or twelve years ago.

Oh, I just remembered 4 more. I need to change my vote!

Ok, you guys are scaring me! I had two fountain pens when I started reading this forum, and now I'm up to 9 or so. The thing is, I thought maybe I'd get one or two more over the years. I can stop--it's not an obsession or anything.

 

Waterman Carène

Waterman Sérénité

Lamy Safari

Omas Ogiva Vision

Pelikan 400

Pelikano with italic nib

Omas 360

Stipula Etruria

Stipula Nuovocento en route

 

I had never heard of any of these before FPN!

 

Oh, and I forgot the 3 old fountain pens I recently found in my parents' cellar...

 

Karen

Well... I think the count is over 100 now. None of them are particularly grand save a dozen or so in the nostalgia/classic category.

 

A handful of Esterbrook Double Jewel J's.

A couple old Parkers.

A couple little Speenos from Hisnibs. Such a cool little pen.

A couple Penatia Madisons from Biglots today.

A couple Lanbo Pens.

One Reform pen (nice nib).

A couple Wality 52's from Todd. I like these allot for an inexpensive fountain pen.

A few old Scheaffers (includes my 1st pen a burgundy snorkel).

A few Heros, the 508 is my Fave.

A few Duke's (One on the way From Todd).

An army of cheap circa 80's obnoxious bright plastic Inoxcroms (nice nibs), $1 each at the flea mkt..

About 30 or so Rotring Cores I use for Drawing. I got a great deal on these too.

A handful of modern no-name pens some of which are very good.

I won't include the tech pens or Pen-brush pens.

I've bought Waterman's as gifts, but don't own any myself (yet).

 

That's my little pendom.

[leicalvr]

Wow,

 

This really shocked me. Maybe I don't belong here?

 

Now granted I have been selling of a number of them lately, I am definitely on the low side.

 

I don't know if I have ever had in the double digits at one time.

 

I better get buying!!

Hi,

 

I have about 60 or so--my little pen kingdom as one of my childhood friends said. I did not name the (20) Sheaffer cartridge pens or (5 of 7) Parker Reflexes, but all the rest have names.

 

Dillon

[Elaine]

Does not include the four Shaeffer Caligraphy pens I also found in the back of the desk.

i like how we find things to exclude in our lists...

 

I would exclude my Osmiroid and Pilot calligraphy pens..

 

my dip pens.

 

probably some others i can think of to exclude for some reason or another.

My new system (not so new anymore) is to have just one pen inked at a time. This doesn't include all the Lamy Safaris with fun ink colors and varied nibs. I gave up trying to figure out why I still consider this "inking only one pen"

 

Ron, no need to play catch up. It's not a contest. There are many people who keep their numbers down on purpose.

[Rique]

Around 40-50, not counting the ones I decided not to count...

[Slush99]

About nine... and counting...

[KCat]

Can I edit the poll afterwards?

 

Shaun

Hi Shaun... sorry for the delayed reply on this. I think only admins can edit a poll but i think by this time it's safe to say that there's been enough responses to leave it as is. maybe later we take another poll with a larger range. Amazing isn't it how many pens some people have..

 

i know there's a couple of folks here (remaining quiet?) who are in the 100s. maybe one or two even over 1K.

[theshainun]

I agree, when I posted the poll, I thought 15+ was a lot, until the count started to go above 100...

I like Roy's attitude. No intention of stopping now. Excellent. :ph34r:

I have over 100. I haven't counted for awhile, but I can just feel it.

Fortunately, I'm not attracted to that many pens :bonk:

:drool:

The thing is everytime I get a new exceptional pen like the 149, or my Mikado. I write with both of them and think "I'm going to sell off all my other pens, why do I need any pens other than these two :blink:

But then the siren song of another beauty calls to me and... ah well, you know the rest

I need new clothes, but my motto has become "If I can't write with it or on it, than I don't buy it" :blink: :blink:

You should see what my food looks like

[KCat]

And I have no intentions of stopping. The new Pel M625 Blue & Silver is tempting me...

 

--Roy

so you've said... i wonder how long you can resist?

 

M625: Rooooyyyyy... Rooooyyyy... whoohooo..

Roy with hands over ears: I can't hear you. na na na naaaaa

[handlebar]

As of right now ,i have 18 pens and am planning only a few more since the finances are a bit tight. But then again i started seriously buying pens only a few months ago.

 

My favorites are my Signum Nova,Visconti Van Gogh and a Dani-Trio Alphaplus i just aquired a few days ago!!
