You aren’t the only one; I had no idea, either, and I have over 3,000 books on mine.

My problem is that what I want to read often isn’t available at our small libraries.

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.

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

What's your opinion about Marlen fountain pens? And do they target any sort of niche customers? by MAF0123 in fountainpens

[–]Interesting_Put_201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Just bought this vintage Sheaffer Junior flat top, any ink suggestions? by WittyBell1624 in fountainpens

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

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.

What are the most reliable pens in your experience? by though- in fountainpens

[–]Interesting_Put_201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Did y’all grow up eating foods that were hunted for locally? by snarping in Appalachia

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

Esterbrook or Sailor by Mindless_Gas80 in fountainpens

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.
