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.

Ok, Jim, your turn now. You must defend our turf's colors.

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!

Contact Brad Torelli and see if he can fix it for you. He's a wizard.

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".
