69 working fountain pens. 61 bottles of ink. If this level of love seems about right for the folks here, then I'm in the right place. Bravo.

I wonder.... How many non-working fountain pens do you have? And how many empty ink bottles?
Might they be stashed away... "in your pantry with your cupcakes..."?
(I have a shoebox with 91 empty gel pen bodies, waiting for refills. Ooh! Fodder for my stimulus check!) 69 working fountain pens. 61 bottles of ink.

69 working fountain pens. 61 bottles of ink. You need 8 more bottles of ink so you can dedicate one bottle for each pen. We are not called enablers for nothing!!!

69 working fountain pens. 61 bottles of ink. ". . . if one of those bottles should happen to fall, there'll be 60 bottle of ink on the wall, 60 bottles of ink. If one of those . . . " etc.
Couldn't resist.

Perfect! And I got two more yesterday...trying to support pen shops around the US. (It's a good excuse, anyway.)

41 fountain pens - I’d say most of them work, but I have a few that vary from needing a cap to probably needing to be scrapped entirely (e.g. a Tip-Dip with a fully cracked section). Only 12 bottles of ink.
I think I have more stationery than I can use in three lifetimes though, with stamps to probably last twenty years.

Was this list already created? I would add: -Orders stationery & pen supplies from abroad, cause the selection in homeland isn't broad enough -Hoards 200 forever stamps when heards that the price of postage will soon be raised with 15 cents (plus writes a complaint to headquarters) -Despite of having 200 forever stamps in stock, buys also new, more expensive stamps to have a stamp to match the theme of the envelope - Spends time on online forums talking about snail mail
-----------------
PS. I have one bottle of ink, because as far as I know it's the one and only mark & color sold in this entire country! It's Pelikan blue. I have ordered some Diamine inks but my order is stuck due to covid effects. It's been a month since I placed the order, and the seller hasn't even got the inks from Diamine yet

At least you have ink!
Adding to the list a uv light so to see Noodler's Blue Ghost.... and also some of the secrets of some postage stamps (from the UK, one of the Star Wars issues, not the last one, has some secrets, as do the Harry Potter issue).
Also, a small collection (a dozen) oak galls for eventually making own inks.
