Ooly Splendid Fountain Pen

Resurrecting this thread.

I was in the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh on Sunday, and in the Art Museum gift shop they had some Ooly pens for sale. I wasn't familiar with the brand at all. I don't know what the different models were -- they had a single cartridge pen in a sealed package ($5.95 US), and then a three pen calligraphy set for IIRC, $12.95. I hadn't heard of the brand before Sunday, but clearly they're made in China.

Like goodpens, I was curious as to whether or not they take converters -- because for me "cartridge only" is a dealbreaker (so I didn't buy either), and apparently nobody could answer goodpens 2 years ago....

Anyone have experience with them? I think they might be a recent edition to the gift shop's inventory, because I was there a few months ago but don't remember seeing them in amongst the other writing and drawing tools.
