The many lives of Luxury Pens and Lighters, brought to you by Roberto Posar
The interesting thing about repairing and restoring pens is that you can revive an object that has been neglected – writing a whole new story.
At the age of ten, Roberto was given his first fountain pen. To his intrigue, he was forbidden to use it or bring it to school, because it had a gold nib. The value and beauty of this precious tool would inspire a passion for fountain pens for years to come. Roberto scoured markets for interesting pens, often found in the company of equally remarkable lighters – sparking an additional interest. In this era before the internet or even the availability of specialised books about writing tools, he invented his own ways of repairing and renovating old finds. By the time pen shows were organised and online trading was born, Roberto had built such experience and knowledge, his successful trading business took off immediately. With a network of the greatest experts and collectors in the sector, Roberto has sold an estimated 19,000 pens and 3,000 lighters over the past two decades.
