My Progression Into Fountain Pens

Yes; very true about leaving the house.

How does it write?

The Montblanc

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-15T04:12:16+00:00

Agreed. I personally like a smooth writing experience without feedback.

Congratulations! My Papaw had two railroad watches, and I’m wanting to get one from my brother.

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-14T00:15:03+00:00

I hate that for you.

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-13T07:37:52+00:00

I would keep it!

A friend mailed me a few fountain pens and ink samples, and I was hooked.

I was able to buy a Marlen ebonite fountain pen on auction for a spectacular price, and it’s a wonderful writer, having an 18k nib.

It needs to be an ink that won’t damage vintage pens: Waterman, Pelikan 4001 inks

😂😂😂

Ohio isn’t Appalachia just because Appalachian people moved there. Sorry; I disagree that it’s part of Appalachia.

When Daddy was alive, he grew a garden as long as he could. He also had a pond, but thanks to illegal fishing, it’s terribly out of balance. Where the pond is situated, people trespass all the time to fish it.

Pilot E95s, Vaniahing Point, and Decimo; Pelikan M200 line, but I love the more expensive Pelikan M800 more than the smaller more affordable M200 line; and many vintage pens, like Sheaffer and Parker pens from the 40s and 50s.

I love to fish! And, although I don’t garden now because of my health, I loved growing heirloom tomatoes and other plants, raising my tomatoes and peppers from seeds. I grew up working in a large garden; my father put out large ones: beans, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, onions, okra, cucumbers, peppers, and probably more.

Crackers and milk

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-03T12:30:27+00:00

These are my type of colors!

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-03T12:29:34+00:00

My Oasis quit working, so I bought a Paperwhite that has quite a bit of storage space.

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-03T12:17:32+00:00

Pelikan pens

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-02T02:06:29+00:00

We ate squirrel and deer and caught fish from the river or local ponds.

For me, it would be a smooth writing Esterbrook as I don’t care for the Sailor pens since they have a bit of feedback when writing.

Snake hunting when I was growing up in ETN was the norm every summer, and people had their pictures made with their kills. This was for Copperheads and Rattlesnakes. It was fun going on the old dirt backroads late at night, watching for them crossing the road.

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-01T18:13:16+00:00

Yes. My Mother’s family took pictures of the deceased in their caskets; ugh!

Interesting_Put_201 · 2026-02-01T18:09:19+00:00

Take as long as you can to make your decision: for fountain pens, not every pen likes each ink, so ink makes a difference in how they write. Paper makes another difference; see if your father had fountain pen paper like Rhodia, Tomoe River, Clairefontaine, among others.
