Fountain Pens

Beschreibung

The fountain pen is developed over thousands of years, from the simple stylus used for cutting marks into clay tablets, to the brush, through the reed, the quill and the steel-nib dip pen, and finally to the self-contained fountain pen. This title covers the history of the fountain pen with an advice on how to build a collection of these pens.

He trained in pen repair and sales with the Parker Pen Company, which had also trained both his parents. At eighteen, he took over the running of his father's shops.
