Was told about your site by some folks at the Fedora Lounge and they were right! I just purchased my first fountain pen in 30 years off of ebay and will need some help I am sure. I collect WW1 and WW2 items and am a moderator at surplusrifle.com. So at least I can answer old gun questions if anyone needs help there! Thanksagain, Kevin

Hello and thanks for the kind welcome! I'm originally from Chicago, but we moved downstate 22 years ago. Between Carbondale and Marion right now. I'm a Parole Agent for the state of Illinois. I did some digging last night and it looks like I won a Tuckaway set. The ebay link is above so if any of you can tell memore from the pics there, I would be grateful. As soon as I get the set I will post clearer pics. Thanks again, Kevin

Welcome. I lived between Carbondale and Cairo (Anna) for a while, and my wife lived in your area (born in Herrin and lived in Carbondale).

Welcome! I grew up in "The Region" so trips to Chicago were always frequent. Glad to have you here.

Used to hang out in Carbondale and Marion when I was in high school. Anna is 20 miles from Carbondale, and 32 from Marion. You gone to the Apple Festival in Murphysboro in the fall yet?
