I'm thinking about buying one of those pens, now, too! If you get this, and you have a minute, could you email me with contact info for the guy who made your gorgeous resin/wood oblique pen holder? I'd appreciate it, I couldn't find anything online.

But I do have three vintage fountain pens that have wonderfully flexible nibs and I find them great for the sort of flexible script that you have made so much your own style. Two of them are by Waterman, and the 1935-ish one I bought has a Waterman Ideal nib which is really lovely to use.<br />Anyway, have fun with your new acquisition - there's a freedom in using fountain pens and avoiding having to keep dipping!<br />Ken (KenTim on Flickr)Harveianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433407844639110907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246047778873013396.post-17846035946077374702011-01-15T00:23:48.848-05:002011-01-15T00:23:48.848-05:00Love the look of that pen.
