Some may recall that I now manage a fountain pen specialty store in downtown Chicago. We offer modern pens - over 1100 writing instruments with less than 100 ballpoints and rollerballs! Fountain Pens are here to stay it appears.
I am an admirer of FP's, I collect not to write with as much as to admire. My daily writers are all modern as I just don't trust older pens, I wear suits again and I will not risk my suits and ties to any chance of leaks!
When I write with my older pens, I dip them and use them only at my desk.
I picked this pen up last weekend, I love the lines of this pen!
Its an Eversharp Skyline from the mid 40's, you may notice the modernistic similarities between this pen cap/clip and the 20th Century steam locomotive; both were designed by Henry Dreyfuss.
I just dipped it and wrote with it, really smooth on good paper.
