Hi,

For some time I've had a set of fountain pens from my grandmother who passed away about 15 odd years ago.

Alas, after doing some cleaning I ran across them in a drawer and decided to finally do some research about them and ran into this site. The repository of information you got here really helped me out.

Turns out she had some pretty good pens.

Sheaffer Triumph Crest (Tuckaway)
Sheaffer Snorkel Masterpiece
Lady Sheaffer III fp and pencil set
a couple of Parker 45s
Mont Blanc Noblesse

Alas, no Parker 51s.

But I'm impressed with the sophistication of the pens (especially the Snorkel) even though a couple of them need restoration or a fixed sac.

Welcome! It sounds like you've already gotten a good head start on a nice collection. Your grandmother had some nice pens, and it's very cool that you would be interested in them.
