The 6 slot vertical and horizontal holders are from eBay and can be found if you search for 'acrylic pen stand'. They're about £1.30 each (from China). This is the individual stand: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/401073661825Nice selection there, I like your stands, where did you get them?
My handwriting is diabolical as well. I find using a doubts pen slows my writing down and improves it. Apparently bad handwriting is a sign of intelligence. No idea of that's true but it sounds good to me!!I wish I had the hand writing to warrant a nice pen.

My handwriting has gone to pot! And I blame computers! I can't remember the last time I sat down to write a letter. Really must make the effort!
I write all the time, because I enjoy it. My hand is not as good as it was, and, being in my seventh decade, I have lost some nimbleness in my fingers.
I am fortunate in being of a generation and schooling which was taught cursive handwriting, after years of Marion Richardson as a small boy. I should add that I spent years, from about 1970, as someone in IT, punching keyboards and typing on IBM Golfball typewriters. All that made me handwrite more.
Anyone, especially if younger, can improve his or her handwriting, if such is desired. It requires a will to do so, and assiduous practice.
It is an uphill struggle these days, when I go to social venues, to find almost everyone else, from about 3 to 90 years old, poking away at digital gadgets. My grandsons are equipped with good fountain pens, but it is a battle against peer pressure to persuade them that handwriting is a desirable accomplishment and an art.
Please do persist.
Nice collection, ChrisI've just found this section of the forum. Thought I'd share some snaps of my small pen collection. I like Cross and Parker pens. I use a platinum Townsend fountain pen for work and keep these to stare at.
