Acme Pens

[inkspot]

I have fallen hard for the wonderful designs offered by ACME. On top of the fabulous designs, I've found these pens to be durable, comfortable to hold and use for long writing sessions, and smoother than pens in my collection costing double or more the price. I'm just curious to see who else here loves these fun pens. What designs are your favourites?

I have the faces pen by Thom reeves. My first fountain pen. It is a bit heavy for my liking and the nib is atrocious. But the pen has a special place for me, given to me by my mom. I ink it up every now and then to look at those smiling faces. Since that was given to me I have written with a couple other ACME pens and it seems they use better quality nibs now.

They certainly do have some energetic designs, and they have a heavy, sturdy feel. I was once given an ACME rollerball commemorating Elvis Presley's record "Jailhouse Rock." Why? I have no clue. Anyway, after a year or so sitting in the display case, the chrome parts became heavily pitted. C'est la guerre.
