This hobby of ours is so diverse in it's collecting interests that it can be quite daunting for a beginner. With this in mind we thought that it may be helpful - and fun if we asked various 'veteran' collectors what they would collect if they were just starting out.
We also take a look at some contemporary limited edition pens and for this issue we asked Tania Ferriera, Marketing Mangager at our sponsors Stone Marketing to give us some background on the Graf von Faber brand and their renowned 'Pen of the Year' series.

"Something about writing and related items must be motivating me."
If I was starting to collect writing items today, the first thing I would do would be to try to understand why I want to collect them. Something about writing and related items must be motivating me.

There is something that is a trigger to starting to collect. In my case, I saw a pen like the one I lost used at school but I actually left the shop with three.

With the use of materials ranging from snakewood, amber, stingray leather, mammoth ivory, petrified wood and more recently Indian satinwood, each Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year is not only beautiful but also has as a story to tell.
