Absolutely! Love and use them on a regular basis. Fountain pens can get out of hand very quickly. Vintage and modern, there is always one, or fifteen, more that I need. I don't know why I need them, but I know that I do!
Glad it’s not just me.
I have a few but nothing your level Im sure. I have a few vintage some from WWII but mostly modern.

Don't really have any Brit woods other than an Inderwicks pipe I purchased at aged 18 and a very old Peterson pre-Irish Republic that was a gift from a friend overseas that I treasure. Everything else I own looks the same and are all meerschaum 'cutty' pipes spanning the period 1850 through to the period just after WW1. Since the passing of my friend Weezel the only other two 'cutty' collectors I know are @RustiePyles CPG and my friend Simong in the U.K so I guess we share the same taste in pipe aesthetics.

No, it's not just you. I say if it puts ink on paper, it's worthwhile. WWII era and earlier pens, in my experience, are some great writers. But that rabbit hole can go very deep. Modern pens as well. Always something new coming out and things you haven't caught up with over the past few years. A member on here VERY generously gave me what amounts to an entire collection. It is, truly, a world of it's own.

Do you ever scroll through WAYS and think, "Dang, so-and-so consistently has pipes that I might buy if I could.
If anything, WAYS has discouraged my buying, sort of a desensitization. I've not really seen anything there that I would buy. It's one of the bigger contributors to the decline of my interest in the Savinelli 904s. When I started collecting them they rarely ever popped up here but then a couple of members started chasing them and my fascination with them waned.

Did you see the Luisa Fiammata line of 904's ? , something about set-aside stummels , might be good to end the collection with a limited ED?

Too expensive for me for a factory pipe when I've had Giubileo d'Oro 904s and 9004s for less. I got rid of all of them but one a couple of years ago but recently picked up a couple of them just because of interesting fittings. Really too small for me to hold now though.
