My collection of pens (+20 or more) have all come from pen swaps on 4 or 5 different pen forums. They are all sitting in pen boxes in a cardboard box.
My dilemma is what to do with them? I am of the age that I don't collect things anymore. My wife and family have no interest in my pen collection, either now or after I am gone.
Tell me what you think of this idea, please!
I have it in my mind to return them to the swappers that I received them from, with an appreciative note to them explaining my dilemma. Would you take that as "a slap in the face" if I returned one of your swapped pens to you under these circumstances?
My other idea is to send them to "Pens for Canadian Peacekeepers". That's probably the best idea!
