I started with one of those fountain pens that used to hang on the pins in the supermarkets, years before the Millenium.

Ah, would that be Sheaffer? Did you ever try their Peacock Blue ink?

No, not a Schaeffer. I do remember quite a few Schaeffers, in quite of a few fellow classmates, in high school. I, also, did see quite a few ‘blue-spotted’ shirt pockets, too.

I was one of the contrary ones, using Flair pens, when I could get away with it, except in my Russian language class, it had to be ball-point.

My usage of a fountain pen came later, in the ‘90’s, and the pen I referred to, was the Parker Vector, with a ‘fine’ nib.

Since, I have latched onto a Parker Rialto, and a ‘45’.
