·My writing looks like a demented 3 legged chicken on LSD has been running about on the page……….no pen no matter how good or beautiful is going to help that………loverly though they are, any of these magnificent instruments would be wasted on me!
I disagree!
You would just scraggle faster and with more fun !!

·I’ve managed to amass several Cross sets and singles over the years. One still with box and papers, I guess that one is worth a fortune now 😝.
Sterling silver Parker set, fountain and pencil.
Esterbrook fountain and pencil singles, I know their mates are here somewhere.
And just for grins a Westinghouse pencil, of unknown make. Dad worked there late ‘50’s early ‘60’s ?

·Anybody remember the Sheaffer “Snorkel” fountain pen? I’ve got one around here, somewhere. My late father was big on the Snorkel pen.

·When I look back to when I was a Kid, I really regret not keeping all the vintage fountain pens that I had collected, would be worth a small fortune now.
I started collecting them when I was about 8 or 9 years old in the latter part of the 60's at jumble sales and school fairs.
At that time people were divesting themselves of all that old stuff in favor of more modern writing equipment and very good to superb ( nowadays) brands could be had for 10 cents or so.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, some one should have written that down in ink, oh wait, they did, I was to young to read it 🙁

·More ink to play with 😀
Really liking the Summer Purple... The Midnight one from Diamine seems darker than the Blue Black from Parker (to my eyes ofc)
Need to find a pairing pen for the Green/Black one.
