I'm here to learn, even though I've used fountain pens since in high school (a long time). I'm not a collector, per se, but have quite a few. My pens range from the Sheaffer school pen and desk pens to a Waterman Phileas. I have a grey Sheaffer Compact for which I am seeking a cap. The hunt continues. I have a small number of vintage pens with bladders and levers, plungers and a snorkel. I look forward to being in FPN!

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Greetings from Ohio. How I loved my Shaeffer school pens! I am so old that ballpoint pens were forbidden in my school district--until one got to high school at which point you could be trusted with a Bic.

Welcome !

 

I remember well the Sheaffer School pen. My first was transparent green, with the chrome cap.

It was "bullet-shaped". On a blister card, with two Script cartridges, the price was 79¢, in 1961.

How many did you destroy. I broke two or three each year, mostly by crushing.

Hi Isle of Innisfree - Mostly I have inexpensive pens, with a few exceptions. I think I need to learn more before I get to much further into it. I have a Montblanc ball point and pencil set I've had since 1991, and would really like a matching fountain pen. I've use a Waterman Phileas at my desk. It's not to wet and never skips.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
