Hi gang! Here are some great tips and information for those of you that are considering to take the plunge into collecting fountain pens and fine writing instruments.
Believe it or not, there is quite a bit to know about fountain pens, which can make it a bit overwhelming when one starts out on their journey to collect information on this topic.
So How Do I Start a Fountain Pen Collection? You Ask...
Not knowing where to start seems to be a very common feeling at first. That said I'd like to point you to an article that covers a lot of good information for those of you that are interested in beginning to set out on this addiction (uhum, I mean...) most enjoyable hobby! ☺
If I have to give ONE bit of advice -- I would say: if you're just starting out (which I don't hear this much in the pen collector's circles) -- "there are no rules" to collecting.
Don't let the "pen snobs" tell you to "Have a Focus" for your collection right away. While I see the point in this for different reasons, there is always time for that later!
For now... Just collect what you like! That's what I do. It keeps it fun. And that's really what it's all about!
Anyways...

From the most serious enthusiast to the novice fountain pen user, the Phileas has been heralded as one of the best fountain pens for the money. The wide body barrel, made of a high polished resin, offers fantastic balance and writing comfort for your every day needs. The attractive marble colors and rounded clip design are inspired by Phileas Fogg, a character from Jules Vernes' novel "Around the World in Eighty Days". There's no better way to start your day than to write with the dependable Phileas.
