I am not a vintage collector; more just an accumulator; but many of those pens are ones I would not consider vintage anyway. To be old a pen has to be at least older than me and to be vintage it has to be considerably older.
But you sure do have some purty pens there. |

Not a vintage pen collector but a couple of vintage pens are in my collection. Particularly treasured is my Parker 51

Without counting, I would say 90% of the pens there are pre- WWII. So, you must be over 80 years old? |

Mil!!
Superb! I am also a collector and an accumulator of just about every make and model of fountain pen known to us all! Take a little more time and please continue posting your lovely collection! I really love your Vacs!!!! I think if I were you I would lay in bed and pour my pens on top of my head like money! But then again... I have been known to do things that are considered "strange" to most! You have to love the way celluloid takes on body heat! Please post more!

I like the 'big reds'. I recently dropped mine and the cap is chipped. I've been looking for a 'donor' cap. Perhaps one of you guys can point me in the right direction.

I know I could take better photos, but it took quite a while, taking the crappy photos that I am showing.

Speaking of big reds. I am attaching thumbnail photos, so not sure what I am posting until it is on the blog.
Notice the #8 Waterman in the center, followed by a Limited edition Sheaffer Balance #000 /1,000,.and a John Holland with original tag still on it. Oh, and a red casein Sheaffer. |

They must be inherited. You cannot be possibly old enough to have collected those over "time".
Gorgeous!
