    I am a collector of vintage fountain pens and writing instruments.

    I am always looking to buy, so if anyone has any old pens they are looking to part ways with, please contact me.

    Thank you!

    Hey Paul, Greetings.
    Since vintage is a funny word all by itself, it may help in your quest to toss out a tad more information.
    Like , where are you, & what exact items you're seeking.
    Just pens & pencils.....or desk sets, or writing slopes......
    1970's....or 1800's....Edwardian..or Deco..?
    See what I'm saying..! :happy:

    Greetings & welcome, Paul. Yes, it would be helpful to have a clearer idea of which items you would consider buying so we can all check our hoards for promising items.

    I’m located in IL.

    As far as what I’m looking for: pre-1970s (mainly early 1900s-1950s) fountain pens, no real focus on any 1 brand or model. I’m not really looking for dip pens, inkwells, desk sets, blotters, slopes...just pens and pencils.

    Thank you all!

    And I buy whatever catches my eye at the moment, so even more modern pens made from the 80s, 90s or 00s may be of interest.

    Brands I collect:

    Parker, Sheaffer, Waterman, Wahl-Eversharp, Conklin, John Holland, LeBouef, Sager, Corona, Chameleon, Pencraft, Artcraft, Mont Blanc, Omas, Conklin, Chilton...just to name a few.

    I’d be more than happy to take a look at them and see if it’s something I’d be interested in. I don’t necessarily collect pencils, but I have a few good friends that do.

    Welcome! I just sold a Conklin on the FeedBag about a week ago. But you never know what'll turn up in my hoard/pile ...collection. That's the word. Collection.
