two items came in the mail yesterday. The first was the stainless steel pen--it's a 1972 Pilot MYU/Murex. The second was the black pen--it's a Lamy 2000. Both could be considered collector's items, though the 2000 is available anywhere (it's mainly a collector's item because of its 1960's Bauhaus design). The Pilot, on the other hand, is an e-bay only kind of item. I got lucky.
These two, along with my Rotring 600 (got lucky with that one too), my Pelikan 215, and my Pilot Vanishing Point, are the really valuable pieces of my small collection.
Yes, I collect fountain pens. What the heck do you expect? I'm a nerdy english professor, and I like to write by hand when I can.
