In vintage my collection probably has more Conklin
Crescent than any other pen, a fair number, most
working and impressive, most unused and boxed
because I spent more on a few of them than most
other pens in my collection, and then it gets
iffy. If I like a pen, there will be many in
different colors and clip, band, etc., styles.
That brings to mind that I really like Pelikans,
so they appear in many forms, ages and price
ranges. I like Sailors and Platinums.
For sheer number, I may have more Sheaffer,
because they are of my time, I was taught to write
with a dip pen and an inkwell in the hole in the
desk. I don't specifically remember Esterbrooks
from my youth, but I have a large collection now.
I have NONE of the colors that I really really
want (the Foliage Green brings out absolute lust,
saw it once, it wasn't up for grabs, maybe one
day).
I continue to accumulate but perhaps not as fast
as I have in the past. There is no real focus to
my collection. I have only one or two Waterman,
not many Parker, that's fine with me, they are
enough. As I keep looking, I find that I have
become more interested in where the pens
originate. I love my Italian pens for looks, the
Platinum line also is eye candy, some pens don't
have to be held to please, they provide return on
two levels, just seeing/owning and then the
ultimate writing/owning.
