Hello all!!! I'm a new member to this site and can't wait to begin reading all of the posts!! I'm new to the fountain pen collecting hobby. Have been using them for many,many years but have not seriously collected them. As of now i only own the less expensive models such as Visconti,Monteverd,Shaeffer and Cross. But i use all of the ones i have and love to write!!!
I use them for my studies in Latin and Greek along with other languages and my calligraphy as well. Having kept a journal daily since 1987,i find myself using my pens all the time. they are there to use and i adore that!!!

My other hobbies include moustache and beard clubs, my own webpage

Hi Jim and welcome to FPN!
The first thing I thought of, when I saw your photo was this little guy:

Thanks Maja!! I consider that a compliment!! I always enjoy any opinion i get, good or bad!

Thanks to all for the greetings!

You're welcome, Jim; I meant it as a compliment as I find the little Pringles guy quite dapper...

Handlebar, welcome. I've only been a member for a very short time and love this place. Great help and advice from All.
Love the moustache also, if you added really stiff wax it would make a great pen rest what with the ends curled up . Only joking .

Hello Jim and welcome to the Fountain Pen Nuthouse I am sure that you will love it here and gain a lot of knowledge about pens, and maybe even attend a few pen shows.

Your mustache reminds me of the photos I have seen of barbershop quartets from the turn of the century.

Welcome aboard and...

Happy Holidays!!

Hi,

Welcome!!
