Thank you so much for showing your current pen collection. You ask if there are any pens that viewers would liked to see reviewed. Personally I would be interested in the East German Heiko pen as I've never heard of this brand. Also, you whetted my appetite with the Fountain Pen Revolution pen which looks great. If that wasn't enough, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Cartier Diablo. I would love to know more about how you choose a fountain pen, given that your collection has many expensive models such as Montblanc but also includes others such as the humble TWSBI Eco. A great video, Hemingway, thanks for sharing.
Hello David, it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for your insight and for the great questions. I will take these topics up and make some videos on them. I would love to review the Heiko. It’s a cool pen. Thank you so much.
I want a bookshelf tour video. I like how you organize your pens and the leather cases are beautiful. I suspect the cases are out of my price range. I was relieved to see the Conklin and Twizbi pens. I was beginning to think you were one of those collectors who only have Montblanc and Sailor pens..😅 My Esterbrook Camden Northern Lights is my most expensive pen. Great video. I really enjoyed seeing your collection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it. I have all sorts of pens. My curiosity wanders. Thanks for watching. I did a library tour but only breezed over the shelves. Have you seen it? Thanks!
When I get home from a stressful day at work, I enjoy watching one of Hemmingway Jones's calming and interesting vids. I wish the people I worked with were as much of a gentleman as Hemmingway Jones is. And this collection is really nice.
Just seeing this. What an amazing collection and the video was instructional. Many pens there I love. But silly me, I love that little red (brass) pen. So unique! Didn’t catch the name.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pen collection. I'm especially partial to your Honeycomb color Esterbrook and your Montblanc 264 with that amazing flexible nib. 🖋
Thank you, My Friend! I appreciate it. Those are interesting ones. The MB is a joy to write with. The nib behaves like a Waterman 52, but with less line variation. The Honeycomb Estie is probably my most beautiful pen. Thanks and please drop by again. All the best.
Loved seeing your collection. I too have the amber Conklin Duragraph in a stub nib and I love the way it shapes my writing. I also have the Esterbrook Estie in tortoise and in cobalt blue. Both of those pens write so smoothly. Have you ever tried writing with a Conway Stewart fountain pen? It is probably my favorite fountain pen - so beautiful in appearance and in the way it handles.
That’s fun! What a cooolection…and that was 2 years ago. So, how has it changed? Did you pare down or ramp up? I do have a question about the Kaweko Sport(s) {and your new art sport}: what fill method do you use with them, and when/where do you use these pocket pens? Do you travel with them? I was having complete FOMO about the Hickory Brown, found one, and sat for 2 days to think about, then hit buy this morning!
Congratulations on the new pen! I buy the little impractical push piston converter, but I just like it. It’s so take these traveling and to the office. My collection has only grown larger due to the Channel. Thanks for watching.
I was unimpressed by the FPR flex pen I got. I have upgraded to a Pilot 743 and a Noodler's Triple Tail for my flex needs. The best thing about the Triple Tail is that it accepts the fabulous Noodler's 308 reusable screw-in, capped, heavy duty cartridges. Right now I have two focuses: 1) German beginner pens with nibs, and 2) anything Sailor.
I haven’t tried the Noodler’s and I really need to. The Sailor pens are pretty great. I don’t use mine often enough. Thanks for the great comment and all the best.
I’ve been thinking a lot of my fountain pen journey and how I should approach it. And I decided that I do not want to buy the trending pens but I want to buy pens that are unique to me and those that I will treasure for a very long time which I hope may have a few limited editions as well as some vintage ones. For beginners, what nib types do you recommend? My first pen is a Sailor Shikori in medium and I have another pen in the works which is medium also. I have small handwriting. That’s the Twisbi I want in rose gold. I love that Diamine OxBlood ink. I was looking at Fountain Revolution pens, great tips. Didn’t know the Kawecos were that small. Thank you for sharing your awesome collection!
Thanks so much for watching all these different videos. I love to binge channels too. It’s best to go for pens that speak to you. As for nib choice… You write small, but write with Mediums. Maybe try cursive italic mediums at some point. Medium is nice because you get a nice ink expression; the inks can achieve their full characters. Thanks for the kind words!
Ibwas feeling the same as you with a Parker 50 Falcon, but decided to enjoy it as much as I can. So I would like to see a review of that wonderful Parker. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the kind words! It’s always better to be positive. The Bluedew is much better at half the price. I’d like the Falcon with a different nib. I will do a review soon and thanks!
My go to pen here recently has been my sailor compass 1911. I reallly like the regular 1911. I hope to afford one one day. Until then I will enjoy my compass. It writes wonderful enough. Very beautiful collection you got there
I hope you have inked up your Parker 22. If you love the Pilot Custom 823 you will really love the Pilot Custom Urushi fountain pen. You also might like the Senator President fountain pen which costs less than the Montblanc 149 and writes as smoothly.
Hello HJ. That's quite the collection of fountain pens that you have. My collection is limited to 7 pens and I enjoy writing with all of them. I keep no more then 5 inked up at a time and rotate the different color inks through my journal. Although few in number, they give me great satisfaction when I used them. This brings up a question. With so many fountain pens, do you find yourself missing certain ones? If so, which do you love but barely use?
Hello Richard! Great question and I could, and probably should make a video about this. There are so many issues with having so many pens. Remember, many of these are gifts or promo pieces, and this adds to the collection. Otherwise, I would have far fewer. I also have probably 80% of them inked up because I am doing content with them all of the time. Such a problem! As for the pens that I miss, the vintage MBs with flex nibs are so nice and I rarely write with them. The Sailor 1911L, although I have a plan for it. Some TWSBIs sit for a while. It’s a challenge! The ones I often use are the MB 149, Egyptomania, Waterman 5, Esterbrook Camden, 823, Brass Sport, MB 146. These are always handy! Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your pen collection! As someone who is just starting to get into this fascinating world, I was wondering where would you recommend I begin this journey education wise? Do any books or resources come to mind, or just trial, trial and trial? And what pens, nibs and inks would you recommend I start experimenting with? I have began soaking information on the matter and are looking forward to the continuos learning and experiences; I invite anyone to share their thoughts!
Hello Carlos and welcome! That is a big question. There are great resources here on TH-cam; my back catalogue, Goulet Pens, and others. Maybe pick up a Lamy Safari and see how you like it. I have a video in beginner pens. All the best and always happy to help.
Ink that Parker! What good is a fountain pen if you don't use it? Also, nice collection. I love vintage pens and seeing vintage pens in others collections.
If you ever struggle for content, I would be interested in those two typewriters in your background...assuming they are vintage mechanical typewriters! On the pens: I was cooking supper while this played. When I heard "East German" I had to stop and review that part of the video! There were some great pens that came from behind the Iron Curtain!
I agree completely on the East German pens. I love that stuff. Few people watch any of my videos and virtually no one watches the typewriter content so I don’t think I’ll ever post about them again l, sadly. I have 15 different mechanical ones and some quite rare. All the best and thanks for stopping by.
Greetings from Australia. Thanks for your video it was interesting to see your pens. You have a great collection, especially your vintage pens. I have been involved in the pen habit for a couple of years and now it is a way of life. Journalling is a way of life. I would be interested to see your take on journalling. Thanks for the video.
I want to journal SOOOO bad, I even have a few journals I really like, but I can never seem to start. When I do start I don’t know what to write. I always end up giving up 😢
Hi. I know your struggle. I did an entire video on this a couple weeks ago and I’ll do some more content on it soon search for that video. I don’t have too many so it’s easy to find. Let me know your thoughts on it and thanks
Hi, haven't gotten through the whole video yet, but did you mention the size of your Custom 823 nib? I'm tempted to buy one but can't decide the nib size :)
@@HemingwayJones ooooh I'm convinced! Thanks for the modern flex nib suggestions as well! I had the Montblanc calligraphy and the Leonardo on my "someday" list, but FPR and Blue Dew mean I can enjoy flex writing without necessarily having to budget a long time for it. Loved the video!
Do you have any suggestions for a step up after the TWSBI Eco? I currently have 2 (fine nib and stub) and I am looking to expand my collection to something nicer, but won’t break the bank. Any thoughts?
The Eco is such a great pen at any price. I love it. Still, you could go Vac 700R if you want to stay TWSBI. If you could stretch to $200 there is the Sailor 1911 with the 21k nib. It is exquisite.
@@HemingwayJones I'll never get in I found it the mounth entrance of a cave at first I didn't notis it probably a secret cave. Using my detector I got this fountain pen this cave the old man was owner of the jungle he told me that cave a Japanese camp long time ago Mani item he found inside like spoon water canester helmet
I'm waiting for my Pilot Custom 823 M to arrive 😀. So happy it was the first one you mentioned. Nice collection. I also grabbed a Lamy 2000 F
Thanks so much! Great choices. Thanks for the kind comment.
You can hear your genuine passion por all aspects of writing. Thank you Mr. Jones.

Great collections...I have been writing with those Waterman Phileus pens for years, I have 2 as well same color purple...
