ABOUT PENS

 

Essentiall "fountain" pens gives a good indication of my preference in writing instruments – fountain pens. Pen and writing ink has been part of our culture for a long time. When you acquire a fountain pen it becomes one of your personal possessions, far different fron the disposal pen that picked up at the supermarket, used and thrown away.

There are plenty of options available. Pens are made from a variety of materials, in modern, retro and "vintage" looks. They cover the full range of price points from about $50 to to thousands of dollars.

No need to spend thousands of dollars on a pen unless it is a pen that has a specifc meaning for you.
