Chris Saenz | My Fountain Pen Collection - 2024 @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this video I share the current state of my fountain pen collection! The last time I did this was about 4 years ago with a 4-part video series. I managed to cover everything except 2 cigar boxes full of pens that need work and/or need to be quarantined for consideration of re-homing.
I showed inside my 10 zippered fountain pen cases, 16 pocket pens in my Leather Rose cigar box, and pens that I have stored in 3 Opus 88 pen boxes (with magnetic closures).
The pen cases shown are:
Kaco 20 pen cases (2)
Galen Leather Crazy Horse 20 pen case (1)
Galen Leather Crazy Horse 10 pen cases (2)
Kaco 10 pen case (1)
Ashton 10 pen case tan
Hub Pen Company 24 pen cases (2)
Monteverde 36 pen case (1)
TOTAL CAPACITY of my zipped pen case: 184
Quick Count Grand Total of all pens still here: 292
Pens considered keepers for sure: 211
2 cigar boxes with pens I'm working on what to do with and/or planning repairs etc: 66
SPECIAL NOTE: Thank you so much to all pen friends, viewers and anonymous contributors over the past 7+ years! In the pen cases there were a total of 80 pens gifted to me over the years!
ALSO: I found another fountain pen a few minutes after I finished my video which is such a lovely pen and it didn't make the video - it was sent to me by a pen friend and I had it in a pen cup for filling and overlooked it: it is the Pilot 78g EF black. Goodness. I wonder how many more missed roll call.
ANOTHER NOTE: I only covered fountain pens not dip pens with the exception of my relatively new River City Pen Company nib holder that I got for my brass Kakimori nib.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you're enjoying your collection and feeling only the feelings you want to in regard to how many or few or how high or low end ... etc etc. I firmly believe that we can choose how to feel about our collecting ... and that although sometimes we'll have human nature type reactions to things other say or to our comparisons of our hobby and theirs ... we ultimately get to respond and hold onto only our own beliefs and feelings about our collecting regardless of how big or small! There may always be a small part of me that has minimalist wish or fantasy lol but when it comes to books and pens I am not minimal. So, I'm just going to be me . LOL
