Pen collecting is the one hobby where the object of the collection is also a creative tool that can express a spectrum of ideas, imagination, and emotions. From the first time thoughts were expressed in written form, the development of writing instruments followed, and became a constant pursuit of better ways to put ideas on paper and have more beautiful and interesting writing instruments.
