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.

Not including Bics!

[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!

[Yume-sama]

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.

Actually since 1989 when I purchased my first Montblanc.

Once you found out:
1. I only live once, my happiness and (in)sanity is ueber.
2. saving all the money, pour them into stocks and still lose the shirt, better get into something I like and won't break the bank
3. I finished paying $25k p.a. school fees

[2th Dr]

Currently, 19. I used to have more but over the years I've given away 2 Mont Blancs, a Waterford, and a Porche Design. What the hell was I thinking!!!

[Alcan]

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.

Hah! One WAS to my brother, a burgundy MB Le Grand, a MB gold ballpoint to an ex-GF, The Waterford to my current GF (whom I've never seen use THAT one either), and the Porsche Design (Faber-Castell) to my mom. All worthy recipients, except for my ex-GF!
