I have brought into my drawer 3 vintage pens; a Parker Duofold Jr, Montblanc Meisterstuck No.12 and an Eversharp Skyline. To make room I have taken out the Parker 50 'falcon', Parker 51 special, and Noodler's Creaper.

     I do quite fancy the design of the 'Falcon' but found the body too slim for my liking. For a pen to stay in this drawer it needs to be enjoyable to use and as much as I tried to love this pen, the finger that it rested upon told me otherwise. For these same reasons I could not hold a spot for the Noodler's Nib Creaper. The Creaper is a versatile and practical pen, these are qualities that I do see value in but it was just not suited for my hand.

     Lastly is my very first fountain pen, the pen that started it all the Parker 51 Special. The experience that this pen has opened my life up to is something that I am grateful for and now I must let it go. I reached a point in my last drawer update where I could not let a fond memory of a pen guide my decisions to keep it. For a pen to remain in my drawer it needs to be something that I will use and love.
