Can the humble collection of pens?



few days ago I read a blog that I feel unable to bind because it wrote down his address how the author wrote that he was passionate about pens and to improve its purchasing power when no doubt continue its small collection of feathers. The comment made me think about whether this passion is reserved only for those who can devote a significant amount of money to their hobby or if, conversely, to have a solid collection, coherent and interesting for little money.

course, the dazzling fountain is expensive because the materials and labor required to manufacture and required, it is also expensive because there is little demand, and also because it for an object to distinguish what should be a high price. All the reasons are mixed to create the widespread idea that the pen collection is reserved for the few. But it need not be so. In fact, in recent years, several companies have launched collections, call it democratic, just pens seeking to reach that public sector can not or is not willing to be hundreds or thousands of dollars on a writing tool. This solution, in my point of view, is not true collector, not because they are poor quality parts, but because the collector is given all done and only have to look in your mailbox every fortnight to collect the new part. You lose this fundamental dimension of affection which is the search.

However, I think it is still possible collecting humble. The market for pen offers pieces of tremendous value, but also a number of pricing models under 50 €. In fact, as soon as one thinks, many of the old feathers that today drive us crazy with pleasure some parts were cheap and great production. As an example, I have entertained a review catalog Fountain House of to select models of feathers affordable. I leave then the list in case you want to say something or to extend brands and models not listed in the fantastic shop in Barcelona.

  • Tombow Object (variety of colors, 35 €). Faber-Castell
  • Ambition (45 €).
  • Aurora Style (48 €).
Undoubtedly there are many more models not for sale in this store. A boat suddenly occurred to me Poem Inoxcrom model, for example, of Tombow Havana, or Kaweco Sport, but I think in the above list is already collecting enough material to entertain. Certainly it is not luxury items, but who said that collecting and luxury should be the same thing? Many of the above are good quality pieces of writing, which is what should be asked first to a fountain pen, and also can be a nice legacy for our children through a humble collection of this type can get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat was popular writing today, especially if we combine with the roller pens, pens and pencils.

The Pelikan logo

Pelikan The company was founded in Hannover in 1838 to engage, in principle, the manufacture of paints and inks. Pelican logo will not appear until you enter the game Günther Wagner, a chemist hired by the company in 1863 to end up buying the factory in 1871. In 1878 he presented a symbol of the Pelican as a symbol of the company's commercial and has since undergone several variations on the same basis. I leave you a picture that shows the evolution of the logo graphic:


The logo comes from the family crest of Günther Wagner, but I guess in the mind of its creator also resonate long tradition Pelican as appropriate animal emblems. Thus we find in some bestiary of the late Middle Ages


Or in some emblems, as is the case of the Hadrianus Junius, 1565,


should not forget that Pelican is a charged with meaning animal since ancient Egyptian times, and that our Judeo-Christian cultural tradition has been used as a symbol of brotherly love, to believe that the female came to peck its own breast to feed their young. That is why, for its beautiful meaning and its long tradition, the image of the bird with her brood becomes an element that gives classical tradition and the German mark. An intelligent man Mr. Wagner.

Pen and writer Ramon Gomez de la Serna by May

pens used to write and writing, as I have said Ramón Gómez de la Serna , no more than "an arrogance against death", so the pen will become the instrument created by human hands to devote to his vanity.

Among human beings more petulance to death on way to stand out as the writers, which recommended the splendid Augusto Monterroso that always write for posterity:
Never write to your contemporaries, much less, as many do, for your ancestors. Do it for posterity, which undoubtedly will be known, it is well known that posterity always do justice.
The writer, according to this line of thought, challenge death with the hope of defeating in single combat, armed with a magical pen as the only tool able to give him the victory. Or at least they did before the onset of the pens, roller, personal computers, voice recorders and other technological paraphernalia.

Aware of the importance for him have their pens, Ramón Gómez de la Serna gave them a capitulillo in Automoribundia , a kind of autobiography from the terrible, the nostalgic and humorous, published in 1948. Then you stick it.
I and I have seven pens in office, but I have had more, that I have lost, to me I have removed or have died. My feathers survivors can say what they say, with more presumption than pain, living stems of large families: "We were twenty, but we live only seven." There

pen that produces errors may own convenience, which suggests confusion, that does not finish the lyrics. There is the one that has good lyrics, good point that I almost always missing. There he wants at all costs to point quatrain, with the eyes of the west well done and closed. There is a letter which curtailed, bitter, more sincere than the others and enjoys the thought topping ideas. There you want to describe and hard at that. There is the novel, which traces out the types and their passions as if they confess, as if you dictate every character and every situation the necessary words. And there are many classes with different itching each with its ease and difficulty involved.
They seem very wise words of Gomez de la Serna, because each pen has its own personality, in some ways, it imposes on its owner. I do not know if you will, too, but my handwriting is quite different depending on how pen type. Strokes rise to heaven or sink into the depths. In some cases, even my handwriting seems to be bound by the tool to start the path to abstraction. Finally, the feathers seem to have their own life, so much so that sometimes I think if there are living beings who wait patiently in the shop windows until a poor unfortunate human being dazzled their shapes and colors and endorse. Since then we no longer know who owns it and who the tool. It is a relationship similar to that left Julio Cortázar written in the Preamble to How to wind a watch :
Think about this: when they give you a clock giving you a little hell of flowers, a string roses, a dungeon of air. No te dan solamente el reloj, que los cumplas muy felices y esperamos que te dure porque es de buena marca, suizo con áncora de rubíes; no te regalan solamente ese menudo picapedrero que te atarás a la muñeca y pasearás contigo. Te regalan -no lo saben, lo terrible es que no lo saben-, te regalan un nuevo pedazo frágil y precario de ti mismo, algo que es tuyo pero no es tu cuerpo, que hay que atar a tu cuerpo con su correa como un bracito desesperado colgándose de tu muñeca. Te regalan la necesidad de darle cuerda todos los días, la obligación de darle cuerda para que siga siendo un reloj; te regalan la obsesión de atender a la hora exacta en las vitrinas de las joyerías, en el anuncio por la radio, en el servicio phone. They give you the fear of losing it, you steal it, that you fall down and break. They give you their brand, and security that is a better brand than the others, give you the impulse to compare your clock with other clocks. Not giving you a watch, you are given, offered to you for the birthday of the clock.

Effect Of Ultrasonic Mice

That was, by May ... History

I think there are two moments in the year that will trigger the gift pens. One is Christmas, of course, and the other is the Communion. Of course, the recipients of the gifts are different: an adult user in the first case, and the user has just begun to write, in the second. In most Sometimes, as we talked long, the fountain of our First Communion will be recorded in our history sentimental and always occupy a special place in our collection. For that sentimental reason I decided to give away pens this year, leaving the machines, watches and digital cameras for other guests. My daughter

I gave him a Waterman Ici et La turquoise, a pen of good quality but you can use everyday without giving me palpitations. It is very appropriate for girls because of their small size. I hope to give you good result and for many years to follow with them and remember the moment.

I have also given a few feathers with two girlfriends of my child. On this occasion I went down a little price level and I opted for a pair of strong, small and colorful Inoxcrom Poem. You have some photos, though not pink model I bought.

may still be people who prefer more traditional classical pieces in white. Do not trouble finding the Waterman Charleston, for example. With a little more effort on finding and having thought with time so you can have gift for the pen, the model Ivory Laban seems to me a gift absolutely spectacular, although it is true that this is a pen too big for a child.

Anyway, it's all love and, above all, remember that a pen is much more than a gift today. It is an object forever, no matter how humble.

three pens sentimental

My very dear friend of Juvenal emailed me this beautiful text that demonstrates an idea he and I share: the fountain, use and enjoy, beyond the value of the piece to sink in the sentimental story of its owner. I'll leave then.

sentimental History three pens

For Juvenal

My childhood came when the pens were almost all land ceded to the pen. The bureau of home, land of the father he only agreed to the hand of my mother, and ever greater cause, they were, retired with respect, the two feathers from my parents. His, illustrious unknown piston damage odd accident at work, paired with the Parker amicably it.

Although it was fashionable to the gift of the pen as a cadet of the First Communion, mine coincided with only two pens, one a Cross suffered injuries distracted and nervous child of seven years that I was. But he did not stop me admiring that caused these two venerable fountain, probably talking with a retired Pelikan ink.

do not know if vdes., Patient readers, saw the arrival of the Stypen. Coincided with my troubled pre-adolescence. A lack of better entertainment that use it, I paid several weeks allowed me to buy one of them and their cartridges. This cartridge away from the boots of my parents, but with a little work I could see traces of that brass nib on the paper. He discovered how acquired fluency in the stroke, although there were not the miracle of making me sad more legible handwriting. I always knew that, secretly, my mother was pleased to see me go to class with pen this humble wonder.

Many years later, in one of those early inheritance that you get an adult, my mother sent me two feathers vernerables retired. Needless to say, are the best place in my meager collection, and will remain so even if the chance to bring me any jewel of writing. A loose piston by time, a nib distorted by the use, representing years of strenuous and poorly paid, adult path metaphorical ink who sweated to the beat of his jib that I have ample opportunity for even the amateurish writing on the Blog pens a friend to look any further than the other and a pen with me even to deliver when needed.

The effect of heat on celluloid


The Esterbrook pens are a very attractive American and grateful for the collector who wants to specialize in them, as there are many models, many different colors and are easy to find cheaply. I have the luck to have a good number of feathers from this brand models J, LJ and Dollar Pen.

As I suppose you know, had the peculiridad jib submitted unscrewed, thus facilitating the adaptation of the pen to the tastes of the buyer, as well as cleaning and repair, if necessary. Loading system was the lever, so it is also relatively easy to repair if it manages to find bags in good condition.

But they had a little problem: not tolerate heat well. This is what is the celluloid when it is not excessive quality and above all, when you are not providing adequate care. That must be the heat causing the curvature of the part that I show in the picture.
