Interesting Fplo On Kickstarter

May 20, 2015

I have gotten some really nice pens from Kickstarter and Indigogo in the recent past...and found this--FPLO--Fountain Pen-Like Object---the other day.

Seems to me to have merit--what struck me was the potential to do wine journal entries using the wine you are drinking to do the entries--and yes, I know one could use a glass-nibbed dipper..but hey, let's get creative...

Also, yah, I am still kicking around. I just don't spend much time here. Got me one of those...job-things...full-time regular. No more contract stuff. Benefits.

Have no idea how to make this link into its video thingee...so guess you will have to cut and paste...think the young lady has a great idea...let's give her a hand...

I just found this Kickstarter today and sped over here to see if anyone had posted about it. I know there've been several glass nibbed fountain pens made before over the years, and Visconti had a modern one made with vintage ("vintage"?) nibs, but I can't think of any examples of a completely modern one. I'm not an expert, so maybe they do exist, but this kickstarter certainly got my attention.

ETA: May want to edit your post or title to actually say that this is a glass nibbed fountain pen, since I had to click the link to find out you were linking to the same thing I was seeking a discussion on. You don't mention anywhere in your post what the product actually is.
