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.

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.
