Fountain Pens Past and Present

Pen collectors fit no particular profile. They come from all walks of life and economic circumstances. There are those who are strictly vintage pen aficionados and others who prefer modern pens only. Then we have the hybrid collector who enjoys virtually anything that holds ink, regardless of age. We know of certain collectors who have never stopped using fountain pens since their youth and others who came to their appreciation of fountain pens and collecting only in their so-called "senior years."
