A few more from the box
Left to right:
Schaefer Balance
Schaefer no nonsense pen
Waterman roller ball
Parker 17 ladies pen [belonged to my partner Jenny]
Gemini roller ball
Finally an old Sheaffer 😉
Yes, the green pen dates from 1969 and the Balance from about 1930
I hope you use them. I've been writing with fountain pens since the 3rd grade. Nothing like a vintage pen.
I rotate the pens like I do my watches. I write with a fountain pen everyday, some times just to add up a few numbers, sometimes to sign something. Like you I started out with a fountain pen in my third year at school a Conway Stewart that was a present from my godmother, sadly lost in all my moves when I was in the RAF. I actually learned to write with the old style wooden shaft and nib pens with an inkwell in the school desk top........
