This Platinum 3776 was rattling around the bottom of my collection. I don’t remember where I got it or why I bought it, but I feel like I probably paid forty bucks for it? It wasn’t a gift, I’d remember that.

I just realized, inspecting it, that those cranes are not a print but hand-painted and signed by the artist, and the nib is not gold colored but actually gold. And that this model of pen goes from anywhere from €200 gently used to €600+ right now on European pen store sites.

I definitely wouldn’t have paid that much for it, this isn’t a “grail pen” to me. Why do I have this?! 😂 I guess I should try harder to appreciate it.
