I am old retired telephone engineer, read that telephone man. I collect watches, and pens, which are more financially accessible. I have eclectic tastes in pens, vintage and new. I was taken with Sheaffer Lifetimes in jade green. I have four in various conditions. I have two relatively cheap Montblancs, several Japanese, a Waterman, a sweet Libelle, and various whatevers. I really enjoy writing with my pens, they are not just for looks. I also make sterling silver jewelry (self taught). It will be nice to have a source of like minded people to ask questions and to learn from. Boredom is a big enemy.

Welcome.

I can relate to using hobby to avoid boredom. Suspect a fair number of our pen people also like watches.

Welcome to the forum. I enjoy pocket watches & a little OS Balance pens. You must post yours.
