I'd forgotten about the old ink pens...going to school, we had to use the ink

pens with the little cartridges. I just loved those...gosh, I wonder if they

still make them..I have to check now....I'm freaking out.....

Re: PenPals - The Man Factor/fountain pen

Wow I'm impressed. My first fountain pen was a (something) that I found

in a

snowbank at age 12. It was of the bladder variety and functional. I terrified

teachers

throughout school with my messy fountainp pen, writing assignment that

dissapeared at

the slightest rainfall or teachersllounge beverage mishap, and then there was

that

immense bottle of ink that I carried in my satchel at all times. Future

teachers eyed my tidy

Vctor with similar fear, butsoon found her to be quite harmless, in the

mess dept.

I have read that the bladders can be repaced, making these lovely pens

functional again;

But

that it is best to leave the delicate prcedure to an " expert " (yeah, where

else have I heard

something like that)

Thanks kids, I'll have to look for a fountain pen for myself and my penpal

efforts....I'm kinda excited here!!!!

Re: PenPals - The Man Factor/fountain pen

Hi , yes cartridge fountain pens are still alive and kicking. Most stores

willl only stock

more expensive types cause they want to make money of course. I saw on

Amazn.com a

section on pens. Maybe you will find yours there. My all time favorite (as

I've babbled

about before) is the tidy, eficient Vector. Happy Hunting.
