It's nice to find a spot for Fountain Pen users. I have been using fountain pens since I got my first Parker 45, way back in 1962. (yeah, that makes me old) I became an avid collector about 10 years ago and now have a good selection of pens to choose from. I usually carry a different pen every week. I'm surprised at the number of people that don't know what a real pen is or how it works. I don't have any of the really expensive pens with jewels and such, but all of mine are great writers. My favorite for the moment is an early PaperMate fine nib that I found on E-bay. I knew PaperMate had made fountain pens but could never find any. My collection includes Pelikan, Rotring, Parker, Sheaffer & Waterman to name a few.
Anyway, I will have to spend some time browsing the site and catching up. Maybe even post something on the pages.
Thanks for the web page.

Thanks for the welcome. I live in Martinsburg and have a few family members living in Fairmont. I love the scenery in that area and Morgantown. Thanks to all for the welcome.
