I was browsing the online catalogues of various fountain pen makers a few weeks back, and I came across this beautiful pen from an American company called Monteverde. After a few days of deep thought, I asked my uncle in the U.S. if he was willing to buy it on my behalf and we'd figure out how to get it to me later.

I came across an old fountain pen while searching through my father's table. I was in need of a pen to sign something really quickly, and his was the closest table to me in terms of displacement, as my own table and pens are up on the second floor.
This old pen was a Parker Jotter, and according to the story I was given, it was a promotional item given at an old conference he attended to many years ago, hence the old faded printed BASF on the side. He gave up using it after the free cartridge ran out, as he did not have time to find out where to find the ink could be bought. Considering that I inherited my father's pragmatic nature, I understood what he meant: if it takes too much time to find, it can always be replaced. |
