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.... :lol:

My Grandfather Frank Jarvis founded the Conway Stewart pen company.

B) . 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 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.

1. A short guide to flex (comments welcome)

2. Some reference postings on FPs.

3. Some pen videos

4. The perfect fountain pen

Hello Lomond and welcome to the FPN! :D 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.

Sincerely yours,

 

Ronnie Banks

      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
