Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere- I read all the rules in the sales section and don’t know if this is verboten or not. I inherited a small fountain pen collection a few years ago (Montblanc, Parker Duofold LE’s, Waterman) and although I appreciate them, I don’t use them. I know many members are into them and would rather trade for watches with people I know than sell them on eBay. Is this not the place for things like that or is it something for which I just make a WTT post?
The connection between watch and pen collecting has always been strong. Although it never completely took off as a combination show, watches have always been part of the larger (LA, Chicago, etc.) pen shows. Not really at watch shows though. I've been collecting both for more than 30 yrs.
