Bill Lutyck of Willingdon, began an interesting hobby back in the 1970s. He began collecting pens, and today that collection is well over 3,000.

Most of the pens in the collection are advertising various businesses. Many are from local businesses, but there are pens from various parts of the world.

Bill Lutyck’s pen collection is stored in more than 130 VHS boxes.

Over 3,200 pens have been organized by location and type of business, and stored in over 130 VHS boxes. The pens have been catalogued, with a computer listing. No 2 pens are the same. In addition, approximately 500 pens have yet to be sorted and itemized.

Bill, 91 is retiring from pen collecting and is pleased to pass this collection to his son, Jim Lutyck, to add to his own collection of over 300 pens. Bill would like to express his gratitude to everyone who has added to his collection over the years.

Bill Lutyck hands over his pen collection to his son Jim.
