Hobbies?

No way dude! I collect pens! I have about 100 interesting specimens.
Some are from interesting places I have traveled to, some feature unique design or ink, some are vintage, some are probably worth quite a bit... some I know are worth quite a bit.
I am particularly fond of parkers. I just found a 1970s era Parker CT with blue ink. I haven't gotten a GT yet but I am on the lookout for one. My favorite pens are usually not the fancy ones though, but the ones with sentimental value, i.e. got on a memorable family trip, given by a friend, and so on.

Nice to meet another writing-utensil collector. 

Likewise!  Do you collect fountain pens, or just regular pens (BP, roller, gel, etc0?

Yes, some of those old Parker's can be worth some serious coin.  Schaefer's too, especially some of the FP's (mainly because there's less of 'em)

I have quite a few FP's, but also a ton of just other pens.  I really like some of the Japanese gel pens.  And obviously, I LOVE Japanese pencils!  The Japanese are absolutely nutso over writing instruments (kinda' like me).
