My Grandfather Frank Jarvis founded the Conway Stewart pen company.

Wow, I wish I had such a famous grandpa! My grandfather was a humble salmonfisher...

Thinking of it; when you are hungry, you won't have much use of a FP.

Otherwise; has anyone tried to write with a salmon....

Greetings Lomond.

With that one liner as an intro, I'm not sure whether you're seeking approbation or forgiveness. Just Kidding!

Do you consider yourself a FP enthusiast? Collector, user or both?

Enjoy the group and jump right in.

. You've got a great FP lineage - how are you carrying it on - meaning, do you use FPs, and if so, whatcha got? Any CSs?

Did you have any involvement with CS other than family affiliation (work there, etc.)? I'm guessing when you were growing up you you likely visited Grandpa at work. What was that like?

(BTW, I don't mean to be nosey, but it is very fascinating that your Grandpa started the company and I would just like to hear more. If you consider it an intrusion, please forgive me and ignore the request.)

Welcome to the FPNuthouse! Hope you stick around and enjoy the place.

Hi Lomond
Welcome on board. I hope we´ll hear interesting stories. Was Jarvis the third partner of Conway and Stewart? TIA

There's a brief history here - http://www.csvpens.co.uk/page5.html

Lomond, that's certainly the way to make an entrance. I hope you'll tell us more.

Ditto....and welcome to FPN!

I have some vintage CS pens and they are great writers (and they look gorgeous ).

Hi Lomond,

Welcome to FPN. It is a pleasure to have you among us.
There is a small group in FPN that is very much interested in the Esterbrook Relief pens that were apparently made by CS in England in 20s and 30s. We would love to hear from you if you have any info. Just check the Esterbrook Forum.

Hello Lomond and welcome to the FPN! We are very delighted to have someone here that we look upon as coming from a royal family in sense. Please, when you have time, tell use more about your grandfather and his company.
