About 15 or 20 years ago I collected a few fountain pens. I don't exactly know why, I very rarely used one even then. I suppose I just liked the old ways.

I've never posted them up anywhere but looking at the ones on this thread, perhaps I should.

I think there's some quite nice ones, things that took my fancy at the time. A Wahl-Eversharp Coronet for example, that I bought when I was in love with everything Art deco.

This thread has rekindled my curiosity and think it's time they came out of their shoebox.
