Hello from Toronto

[French Mamba]

Hello, fountain pen enthusiast. I caught the bug in my teen years, then let it slip in my twenties just to pick it up again in my thirties. My dad used to write with a Cross fountain pen. I inherited it, then I started my own collection beginning with a Montblanc Meisterstuck Classique and haven’t looked back!

 

I look forward to chatting more! Greetings 👋

Welcome to FPN, @French Mamba.  It's a lovely thing to inherit your father's pen.  It's nice that something designed and made for the last generation is still in service.

Hello and welcome from just along Lake Ontario.

Welcome from Waco, Texas! Or as we sometimes call it, WACKO!

 

When I was oh so much younger, I thought Cross pens were the pinnacle, and they were very good value, but I knew nothing except Cross, Schaefer (sic?), Parker, Esterbrook. Now my collection includes many German, Italian, British, Japanese, etc. But you know, those older, made in Connecticut, pens are still smooth and reliable!
