Sheaffer fountain pen from the late 70s. |
I seem to have an endless mind-stream of items I used to have in my possession that I would like to use again, or at minimum know where they are located.
Recently, during a bedroom bust of my kid's room, I found my very first fountain pen, a Sheaffer "No Nonsense" Orange Cartridge Fountain Calligraphy Pen with a fine nib. It was snuggled in without about 200 other writing instruments. We seem to be pen fanatics.
I bought this fountain pen in the 70s because the professor of my college music theory class said we needed to present our assignments in ink.
It took quite a search to locate the model he steered us to, and when I complained bitterly about the cost (how much? have no clue, but it was more than a BIC), he retracted everything and said he was merely suggesting we purchase one.
I quite fancy it today and am glad to have it in my collection.
What's your favorite writing instrument?
