Featured Just a small side collection I have: pens & pencils

Just took a pic of my modest collection of pens and stuffs to show my FB friends so I thought I'd share with my friends here too xx

I have gathered these over the years. I don't collect them but pick them up if they catch my eye x x
Think the three smaller ones are chatelaine pencils and pen?

Hope you like my teeny collection x

 

Thank you <3 I am very keen on them.

I don't actively collect them ... but things in this house tend to reproduce somehow I have one of something and next thing I have several dozen without even trying

**If one is good,two is better and three better still** xx

 

Victorian-era propelling pencils. Very neat. I have a few of these in ivory and silver. Some with matching pens.

Sorry to disagree, but you have more than 3 of the same object so according to the "rules" you are a collector of the object & have a collection.

Nice collection!!!!

 

LOVE THEM !!! .. JOY.

 

Its funny how things sorta reproduce,isnt it? Speaking of small silver bits,Ive been trying to find a miniature silver sword that I apparently stashed somewhere ( I have a bad habit of tucking things in boxes and drawers) so far no luck ! Love your NON collection.

 

Can you still get lead for some of the older propelling pencils? I have a sterling one that was my grandfather’s, but the lead in it is much thicker than what one sees in today’s propelling pencils.

 

oooh. I have five or six silver chatelaine pencils, but your collection is much nicer.

 

Nice collection. Thanks for sharing. I have a small collection myself. Cross, Wahl, Parker, I buy the gold filled ones anytime I can get them on the cheap.

btw- If 3 equals a collection then I have waaaaay too many different collections of things. Possible hoarder status, lol.

 

I found this in reply to your question regarding the lead in older mechanical pencils.

A really charming collection. Keep at it.

 

Love the pencils! Do you collect other writing paraphernalia like ink wells?

I've started a teeny collection too-- of samovars. I'm not quite sure how it's happened.

 

very nice collection

those are very nice pieces Barn Owl

 

Hi Barn Owl, Did you say teeny?

 

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. That has happened to just about everyone here at one point or another.

@BoudiccaJones - As you can see you are in very good company here because we all have these little mini-collections in our lives & yes the plural form was the correct in this case.

 

Thank you

Haha, unfortunately not quite teeny. The tallest one is 22", and if I buy anymore, I'm going to have to find a new place to store them. Seriously tempted to though; I've been keeping my eyes open for a painted one.

Haha, a few years ago it was owls for me then candle snuffers. Looking forward to see what I start collecting next. Do you collect anything?
