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.

"I saw a
pen like the one I lost used at school but I actually left the shop with
three."
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.

Driven to
by a passion to re-discover writing products from a past
age
The Graf von Faber-Castell concept of
introducing a Pen of the Year, each year and the collecting or purchasing of
the Pen of the Year is fast becoming a passion for serious pen
collectors who are looking for something individual which is not going to
appear in abundance worldwide.

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.
