My wife is a calligrapher. To a calligrapher or artist is like a baton is to a conductor, a Stradivarius to a violin player, a classic Gibson to a guitar player.

So yes, to many people an expensive guitar is just a status symbol, to a true artist it's something that adds a great deal to their lives.

It's the same here, my wife and I aren't lawyers, doctors or politicians, these pens aren't status symbols. These pens are used for creative pursuits, to design, art. Many of them are vintage classic pens that have deep history, family value, etc.

Just because you value certain things in your life, doesn't mean that others don't value other things.
