Changing Times

While you may not hear from me that often, I am here and continue to collect, trade, sell and buy. As we come to close of another year, I find myself reflecting on the metamorphosis of my collecting habits.

Like many, my collection and tastes have evolved over the years and I also find myself expanding what I collect. Take for instance the picture below. My Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 fountain pen along side my Omega Speedmaster Pro. Two stalwart examples in anyone's collection.

My collecting metamorphosis.

And my collections now have a growing number of typewriters. These include Royal, Corona, Hermes and Olympia brands.
