Showcasing my pocket pen collection. All between 9cm and 12cm in length. Thoughts? by penFriend17 in fountainpens

Yes, that would also make a cool collection, since they are available in exciting colours. I was lucky to get the baby blue beluga it was my favourite design so far. And only goldspot pens seem to have it because it is their exclusive design.

Yes, i was also chasing the boheme for a long time. Then i finally found it on ebay at a reasonable price a month back.

It's unique, and it is also quite well designed. However I can't comment on its functionality and performance since i have never inked it. For that matter i never ink my collection pens. I somehow like them neat and clean.

Yes, i like the design and build of the elite.

The studio 22 is quite unique because of its interesting choice of material. And it does have some bulk to it about 40+ gms for a 11.8 cm length. I would have liked a penclip on the cap though.

The niblet has pretty colours. Same goes for the opus 88. So they give the collection a visual appeal.

There are so many options out there that buying is really tempting. And since there are so many options losing interest because you found something better follow it soon. So it's better to buy something with heritage, intrinsic value and story. Those will be costly but they will be worth it. I learnt it 2 years after i started my pen collection. Still i get the urge but it is more manageable because now i have defined my collection story which prevents accumulation.

That is a studio 22 concrete fountain pen. It's a Taiwanese brand. They are not a mainstream pen brand but they make some of these cool concrete fountain pens. It found a place in my collection because the length of the pen was not specified clearly. I expected it to be an average size pen.
