From Elvis Presley-inspired pens to alien-shaped pens — there's something for everyone in Margaret Lemm's vast collection. The 86-year-old woman from Gore told Breakfast she had spent more than 30 years collecting pens from New Zealand and overseas. She said the collection of around 38,000 was displayed in her garage, in alphabetical order and said many were unused. She said she had been "swapping and collecting pens" from Dunedin, Timaru, Oamaru all the way to Blenhiem and could not pick a favourite. I've also got television pens and Lotto pens."
