This collection harbors some of the iconic pieces from our hobby, pens that have appeared in the Great Pen Books of the 1990's, pens that are few-to-one known.
How's that old expression go... Happy David?
I laid out the check for the hoard. The other guys wrote me checks for their share. The only member of our crew to drive instead of fly took the pens home, and today, nearly a month later, we met at my apartment in Manhattan to start to divide the collection.
We now are the Gang of Five: Pens. We have a Facebook page. Feel free to look in, to follow the blog posts, to comment.
