That`s quite a collection Jar. Thanks for sharing your take on how you keep and maintain and use your collections. Interesting to see your vintage pens too! Live long and enjoy them all!When it comes to fountain pens, knives, razors and shaving brushes (watches too) I come from a line of pack rats that took Spock's advice "Live long and accumulate". The basic family motto was "Remember one day all this junk will be their problem".
When you shave or write for a half century or more and your parents and grandparents also shaved and wrote for a half century or more and then boxed up all their junk and stored it in your garage it can seem like a large accumulation. But even just one or two knives or one or two razors or one or two shaving brushes or one or two fountain pens a year when repeated over more than a century can add up.
