@yokepencompany is giving away a holder from a lovely, unique piece of olive wood. Head over to his profile for details on entering to win. A key component is sharing a photo of ALLLLL your pen holders tagged #ypcmypenhoard. I'm not actually throwing my name in because... well... I think my photo should be answer enough. I thought it would be fun to see everything at once though, so here ya go 🤗. Things of note: all my great grandfather's holders are grouped in the center (straights, obliques, automatics and pencils). My favorite inheritance from him is a turn of the century Zanerian Fine Writer. I have a 12" cherry replica from Chris to the right of that plus a vintage Strahm and a little test prototype Strahm I made to the right of that. The far left grouping in the middle row is an assortment of vintage straight holders I've acquired over the years (cheapo modern ones are above). Mass produced obliques are on the bottom left, to the right of those are my favorite fountain pens (cause why not 🤓). Middle of the bottom row has some lovely hand turned obliques from @inkslingerpens and @yokepencompany. Bottom right are holders I've made for myself. My daily writer is the medium brown mahogany one on the left. Top center of the photo has all the various prototypes I've made since I started making holders. Top right corner has my collection of vintage newton stoakes automatic pens, a bunch of fun coit pens and a set of pilot parallels. #ThisIsNormalRight #PleaseDontAskToSeeAllMyNibsOrBrushes... 🙈😬
