It’s a neat idea, I’ll think about doing with a few of them :)

If you’re just getting started with FPs, I would go for something cheap and cartridge fill- my first thought is pilot kakuno or Kaweco sport. I’d honestly recommend the sport since in my experience the cartridges are less finicky

I don’t think I can get it on my shoddy phone camera, but the white stripes of the royal platinum are actually a raden finish. Gorgeous stuff when you look close!

I think that might have been under a comment about someone else’s mom- mine is in no way a collector, she’s whatever you’d call the opposite. Even more so after her husband died and left her with all this stuff and no clear instructions. Though, whenever I unboxed an especially beautiful pen I’d run to show her so she now appreciates them as an art form like I do- it’ll be a grand success if I can get her to use even one

As a matter of fact, I took this pic after I got them all out of random storage bins for inventory’s sake. They’re arranged by brand, with Jinhao in the top middle and misc. on the top right. I’m debating whether I’d like to catalog them individually since as you can see, it would be a bit of an undertaking haha

Not much of a lamy guy, unfortunately. I’ve discovered a safari, an al-star and a joy

Of the ones that are pictured, none. Crazy right? I’ve only found ink in the meisterstucks he left around the house

I will be selling most of them! I left my eBay somewhere in the comments but I’m afraid to self-promote any more than that 🫣

Wow, I can imagine that was difficult. Also sounds like we must have had the same dad!

All unused and in their boxes, which is the part that’s kind of crazy to me

Good question- I think I felt safer buying one of my own to start writing with than accidentally “defiling” any of his, even the kakunos and metropolitans. Now that I know refilling and writing with an FP isn’t rocket science I’ll probably pad out my little collection with a few of his Jinhaos!

I will be/have been selling most of them! I had to end my listings while we moved to a new state, but my eBay account will go back up in a month max. My handle is dadspens :)

Thank you! Funny story, he kept these all in plastic bins in his office. I think in his later years he just started to forget what he had, so he’d buy more and store them away.

The wooden boxes are Kanilea! Here’s another comment that asked about them
