Fountain pens?

Eye - the thing about a pen collection is that it’s pretty compact. It’s not like I have them in a china cabinet with lights focused on the pens. Although now that I write that, that would be a great way to get some additional non-flourescent light into my office. If I were spending $2500 on a pen, then I might have it displayed better. But when the most expensive pen I own is about $350 and I use it daily, I don’t have a real need for the storage. As my income grows, so will my collection.
You can keep a pen collection in a coffee mug if you don't want to spend the bucks for a display case. I don't, so in the cup they go.Spiff Im just giving you shit…lol Although I would still like to see your office, only because Im in the process of designing my office and am looking for many different ideas.
Pentel EnerGel (the quick dry stuff for lefties). I absolutely love these pens. Comfy grip, fast dry ink, stylish silver & black theme, and 0.7mm tip.
$4 for a 2 pack at Office Max.

[/quote] I'm not sure what's more shocking to me...you actually spent $350 on a pen, or you keep that pen in a coffee mug!! [/quote]Spaceman, I'd recommend using a cheap and classic 1960's Esterbrook pen holder (the "Eight Ball"), which would fit most fountain pens, or any pen for that matter. These can be bought at eBay for $25. Looks great on any desk.
