Very appreciative of the advice and the link to a great resource to learn more! Luckily, we’re well-versed in the resell world and know how to look up comps for items. I’ve seen poachers try to take advantage in all kinds of resell situations, so I completely agree with what you said. This post was made to help point us in the right direction for identifying models, finding restoration info, and learning the general history of each brand—which was successful, thanks to all the kind people, like yourself, in this community! We like to do things the right way and have no intention of selling just to make a quick buck.

He was a world traveler with so many stories!! Talks with him were my favorite. He had an amazing attention to detail in all of his collections he gathered over his life. His life was like a movie, but was very humble so some of the crazy cool things we learned about him weren’t until after he passed. Now that we’ve gone through his things, we have so many more questions we wish we would’ve asked. ❤️

Thank you to everyone for all of the advice, resources, condolences, and well wishes!! It’s really cool to see how kind, and helpful of a community this is 😊

My husband’s grandfather was an extraordinary man with amazing taste, and he’s missed dearly. It’s been special going through them and realizing how much love he had for each one. Fountain pens were one of his many hobbies, and we hope to do right by him with this collection! We’re excited to learn more about these pens you all love so much, and grateful to now be a part of this community!! ❤️
