Any Pen or Lighter Collectors out there?
 

Do we have any other Pen or Lighter collectors here on AA?

Especially S.T. Dupont and or Mont Blanc...

I collect the old Parker fountain pens

I use a montblanc starwalker ballpoint everyday at work, not a collector as I only have one.

I have a massive collection of both Pens & Lighters. :)

I have to admit to always being fascinated with pens. I fell in love with the Rotring Core colorful thick pens 15 years ago and bought every color and style I could find here and in Germany. I stopped collecting after that! I still always haunt pen stores just to look

Any Pen or Lighter Collectors out there?
 

I have a few pens I've collected over the years, mostly Parker, Caran d'Ache, Pelikan, Mont Blanc. I'm particularly partial to Pelikan.

I have actively avoided pens, along with scuba and golf and cars (mostly), just to maintain my sanity and bank account over the years. I gave in to audio, skiing and fly fishing for tarpon and steelhead.

I've collected a few pens over the years. This is from my library: Attachment 48278

As to Ivan's question, I have one ST DuPont. Attachment 48279Attachment 48280

Rob... nice DuPont Stardust fountain! Here is a photo of my DuPont Pharaoh set:

Wow

This is one of my favorites, ST DuPont Taj Mahal 1/20 in the world.

Bigger Wow

I'm really not exactly sure what got me in to collecting these, but it started about 20 years ago. :scratch2:

They are works of art. I can see the attraction

They only make one or two limited editions each year, in very small numbers. I don't like everyone, but most of them I do. :)

It seems to be a genetic defect that many of us here on AA share!

:laughin:

Any new pens?

No, I pretty much stopped on collecting pens. But lighters, that’s a different story. :D

Montblanc Meisterstuck 146 that I've owned for almost 30 years. I use it almost every day.

I use it with Sheaffer No 22 blue black which is not as viscous as other inks which are more prone to clogging.

Nothing left to buy out there? :D

No serious collection is complete without a Tibaldi! :smoking:

Fulgor Nocturnus at "only" $8 Mil. :yikes:

Serge... that pen does nothing for me. :no:

At $8M asking price it only made me chuckle and nothing more...

I used to be into pens as well for some time but mostly focused on the Japanese hand crafted NAKAYA beauties. They have pens for every taste and budget.

I have about 20 new and vintage fountain pens, which are mainly what I write with. And too many bottles of ink to want to count. Plus it would be embarrassing. Current favorites - Lamy 2000 (the equivalent of a great sounding cheap component), Leonardo Momento Zero and a vintage Sterling Parker 75.

Thanks for asking 😉
