A recent thread got me thinking of examples of successful modern relaunches of vintage iconic fountain pen models. The related thread is: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/355785-a-new-139-its-a-no-brainer-or-is-it/ Thank you, zaddick, for provoking my thoughts. I am talking about the near replicas and unmistakeable throwbacks to their original vintage models with same name and style. Here are the ones that quickly came to my mind: 1. Parker Duofold Big Red; 2. Aurora Internazionale; 3. Pelikan 100N; 4. Omas Gentleman; 5. Conway Stewart No.58 and No.100; 6. Onoto Magna. What are others that you can think of? I hope you enjoy this topic. My apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere on FPN.
