I didn't know its value at the time I was using it. It was a fine pen, and so for the longest time it was my standard for fine writing, and I'd prefer pens with metal barrel. I didn't trust ones made of acrylic (We had a parker 75 at home) or celluloid resin because I believed they're not as durable, or they don't age as well as the PS Cisele, for example. <BR/><BR/>And then, on a visit to NY, I got to test drive a FP with a celluloid resin body. It's gorgeous. So now, I tend to be partial to celluloid resin, just because the designs tend to be more unique across different brands or within a product line. <BR/><BR/>I have a list of pen crushes that I'd want to be in my collection as soon as the funds recover from my MacBook Pro splurge:<BR/><BR/>1. This crone pen: http://www.kronepen.com/daddy.html<BR/><BR/>2. Romet Emperor's Collection in Ocean's Gold<BR/><BR/>3. Waterman Edson<BR/><BR/>I used to have a crush on the Van Gogh Collection of Visconti, but I discovered that the pin had "Visconti" engraved on the side instead of at the top, so I stopped liking it.
