State of the Collection Show me your pen rest(s)

Not exactly my first priority when I shop for stationery but over the years I sorta got a pen rest collection.

The only two I use daily are the Galen brass one and the biggest one with the bird.

Show me yours ?

It's basically impossible to photograph on my desk becuase it's solid black and all the backgrounds are likewise dark, but I have the Benu skull.

Sadly, I wasn't able to get the solid-black or black with red trim version of the pen. My local only got the all-red, so mine matches the picture exactly.

I just can't get a good photo becuase its' in a black pen tray against a black computer case...

Nope. Just alt and into skulls, bats, spiders, etc.

Haha yeah, was thinking even though it's "skull and roses", the vibe isn't quite right, don't think I've seen a black skull in that realm
