I own fountain pens by all those makers and they can be beautiful works of =
art. I write no gooder grammar (?!) with one of these pens but somehow it =

We mess with reeds, then mess with mouthpieces,,,then I mess with filling =
up a pen with ink which usually leaves a mess. Nothing like a dark green =
or red streak of ink on a reed to worry your stand partner!

This list has some interesting rabbit trails...
