Do you collect multiple instruments from one collection?
So I have been accumulating fine writing instruments for a few years but never was compelled to buy two from the same collection.
Today I gave into the urge to compliment my recently acquired Delta La Citta Reale fountain pen with its ballpoint (I know, I know) twin. Anyone else feel compelled to get multiple pens from the same collection? Outside of pens being sold together. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

I don't do it myself but I know plenty of people who do so it's quite common. My point being that you can relax. You're not as sick yet as you might think Haha. I have a bad enough time with Pelikan M80? and all the variations they being out of that. All the exact same pen just in different colours and designs!

Never really knew that there were "Collections". But pen sets, usually a fountain & ball point with a matching pencil were pretty common. Also, once you find a model that feels good in your hand it's reasonable to continue buying that model.

A pen "set" on the other hand is two or more writing formats, of the same design, intended to be sold together, usually a ballpoint and mechanical pencil. Please refer to the below screen captures for proof of the commonality of my use of the term "collection." Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Yup, it seems that they do advertise "Collections".
