I'm 32, and have been collecting fountain pens for about five years now. It started when I got a job at a mom-and-pop office supply store, and bought my first fountain pen, a MB 149 for the outrageously low price of $150 in a Dutch auction sale from one of our suppliers. It blossomed into an all-out obsession from there pretty quickly...lol. Since then I've bought and sold many different pens from many different brands and have discovered that I prefer Pelikans most of all.
Other interests: I enjoy digital photography (although I kinda suck at it still), music, and watching movies. Yeah, I know...if ever there was a wallflower...
