Some people do collect them, for the historical nature and as a curiosity, but that&#039;s about it. I would add it to my collection, but then, I like silver, and I like pens.

The people who can do that aren&#039;t many these days, so unless the buyer does it themselves, they&#039;re not willing to pay a lot for such pens, even if it is silver. They have to factor in the cost of sending it to be repaired, and the postage on top of that. I&#039;ve routinely bought antique fountain pens such as these (I&#039;ve collected pens as a hobby for 20 years) for $50.00 or under. It&#039;s the repair-costs that keep the prices down. </p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the size, even working, they don&#039;t fetch a great deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
