Rotring makes good stuff.

My collection consists of 1 type of pen.

Yes I could write with it after.

It did smell faintly of tomatoes though.

An older picture. The pens are all Cross, the pen color matches the ink. Big fan of drafting pencils.

A few to start. Yeah, I’ve got a problem.

More.

 

[Shorttime]

Pentel, Pentel, Rotring, Pentel, Pentel. The blue one is .7mm, red is .1, the Rotring and the two black Pentels are .5. One of the Pentels is a harder grade of lead, and I never remember which is which.




I like brass and copper, they're just a little awkward for what I do. The middle one is for everyday, and replaced my Boker 45 CID pen. It's thin, light, the heavy stonewashing means I don't have to worry about the times it gets dropped. It might even be Titanium...





These are in the travel case. I can grab and go, knowing I'll be able to entertain myself.

You don’t have issues standing them in the rack like that?
How often do you use them?
How long do they stay there?
I have some that dry out in that position. Some leak. Those are ballpoints, rollerballs, and an occasional gel. I only store the pencils i use that way. Everything else lies flat

I have had them displayed like this for a year of so no issues too date. Use them all fairly regularly. It is generally recommended that ball point pens be stored tip pointing down, while Gel and Roller ball pens should be stored on side.(all of these pens are ball point except the Pilot G2 (Gel) Limited, which I store flat, just shown upright for this display photo)
