Full Version: Hello from New York
Hey everyone, my name is Victor, I am 14 years of age, been collecting Fountain Pens since I was 9. I am from New York. I found this website while searching for repair Faqs. I own a small collection of international fountain pens. I love Japanese fountain pens. And I am happy I found a bunch of people with the same intrest as me, "FOUNTAIN PENS"!!!!!!
Sigh, younger and younger. The addiction knows no bounds, shows no mercy.
Welcome to FPN.
Welcome to FPN.
Welcome to FPN Victor. It is nice to see youngsters interested in things that don't plug in or run on batteries for a change! Enjoy yourself here!
Welcome, Victor, to FPN. Fountain pens are great.
Another big Texas welcome for Victor! Many of us old geezers on here actually wrote with FP's in school at your age. Hopefully, by the time you reach our age you'll still love them. You are already obviously a man of good taste -
Lol, thanks.
Welcome, Victor! I wish I had found a collecting love as young as you! Here's maybe a helpful hint from an old timer who usually missed the boat in his own day. Right now there are pens overlooked by the big time collectors. They are most likely modern items. Not all modern pens will become bigtime collectibles, but some will. What current pens will become the 51 Flighters, Mont Blanc 149s, or PFMs of tomorrow? That is your assignment! Good luck to you, and beware of the Griz!!!
Welcome, Victor, and don't let the old farts get to you. 
(I'm getting old...just turned 18.)

Welcome Victor,
This is a great place to learn about pen. I'm about twice your age, but I started really young, I love seeing young people getting into pen. I'm a teacher and I show my students how to write with a dip pen.
Do you own the pen in your avatar?

Welcome Victor. You've picked the right place for learning more about Fountain pens.
Don't worry about the Griz. He's relatively harmless most of the time. The only ones who need fear him are those who are bidding on Parkers on the web.

Yes, as long as you can avoid Fleabay bottom feeding activities, you will be safe. HOWEVER, should you succumb to this siren song of the deep, er, cheap, you will soon find yourself engaged in a titanic battle, akin to the sperm whale and giant squid at 30,000 leagues. (Note: magnify Grizzy's avatar to see the sucker marks on his cheeks.)
