Hello and Hi!

 

New member of FPN after several years of reading different posts while searching the web on different fountain pen topics Finally decided to stop lurking and join.

 

I've been collecting pens on and off for the past 20 years of so. I started collecting on eBay and in those days it was hard to find anyone to repair an older fountain pen. I have a small collection of pens and I use most of them at one point or another.

 

I like vintage pens that look for to me and are also easy for a lefty to write with. In general pens from the mid 1920s until the 1960s. I'm beginning to explore soft and semi flexible nibs, and what to branch out to other nibs as well.

 

I just saw that the Maryland Pen show will be in less than a month, and I'm looking forward to attending.

In case you wonder, the 49 is my year of birth. Yup - 70 this year, but I'm not willing to discuss the date or time of year.

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!
