That's a good question! How many fine writing instruments do you own?

[Bisquitlips]

You can count any pen you consider a truly fine WI.


Me: About 87, give or take 0. :agree:

Not including Bics! :read:

[shandy]

Oh you are so far ahead of me!
Including the Montegrappa Limited edition that will be on it's way to me soon my grand total is 6!:chuckle:

[Yume-sama]

:clap: A reasonable 9!

[2careless]

MB - 30
Visconti - 8
Faber Castell - 2
Dupont - 1
Dunhill - 1
Sheaffer - 1

The Sheaffer was a gift from mom when I was like 10.
The Dunhill and Dupont were left to me by my father (I know they are somewhere in the house...)
First MB was wedding gift from the wifey, and in between several MBs during the years.
Really cranked it up after Xmas 2008. :rofl:

Actually since 1989 when I purchased my first Montblanc.

EDIT: Apparently a little longer. I bought my first Oscarson on April 7th, 2008!

Hmmm....... does Crayola count as a fine writing instrument? If so, I have 23 (can't find the green). If not, I guess I don't have any. :chuckle:
