I have several Pelikans and a couple of Montblanc and am actively looking for more.

I love the idea of finding other DUers interested in using and collecting fountain pens.

I hope you see this reply to you soon!

I love my first Pelikan and one particular Italian pen, but still have the old silver Morrison pen that I got at age 11, though it doesn't work.

And not all of them are that expensive.
When I was much younger nobody seemed to know their value, pens at estate sales and thrift stores were only a buck or three.
Later, people caught on.

1915 orange and black pens with gold plated trim. What's the best way to sell it? eBay brought a slew of offers, but I think it would go at least double those. thanks
