Ok just got an absolute crazy pen. I am more into Vintage pens, but once urushi is involved all bets are off.

Had several for a while, then drifted away. Saw this Mozart 114 and had to have it. Bought new in 2004, never inked in all those years. Five minutes after I got it, I was writing with it. It uses the cartridges which I prefer for travel and refilling convenience. It has convinced me to get some personal stationary for writing to people.

My daily pens. Mont Blanc and a Waterman. I actually prefer the Waterman.


I also have this nice Cross set I should use more. Ballpoint and fountain pens and a pencil.

One of my favorite pens, an eye dropper filled Waterman 26 from before 1900 (with a Waterman dealer later clip attached to the cap c. 1905). I looked for one of these for twenty years. Found it on eBay.



I love pre-WW1 Watermans, particularly the large size eye dropper filled ones, because their nibs are so flexible and smooth and their hard rubber is much easier to hold than either celluloid or plastic pens. With few exceptions, they are the only pens I use.

Love the ❤️ nib.

For Christmas, I bought my department members a fountain pen. I had to explain to two of them what it was and show them how to hold it the right way up and how to put the little ink cartridge in.
I was a bit surprised as they are in their mid 30s. I suppose the majority of people stopped using fountain pens a lot sooner than I realised.
