@penfount Let’s see, my #fountainpen origin story began in primary school when us kids had to use them and scratchy dip pens for better penmanship; we also learned to write in cursive (Copperplate) and it wasn’t until I moved to another school that I knew how to write in print.
It was not uncommon to see kids with leaked or broken Parker Quink bottles and a huge mess on their shirts and workbooks. Good times.
