Why Fountain Pens?

My life-long love affair with fountain pens began in my father’s law office in downtown Brooklyn.

When I was a little girl, he would sometimes take me to work with him in the summer. Everyone there was enamored of the new “ball-point” pens. But I would sit at the big, old empty desks in the back and there discovered drawers full of abandoned fountain pens and bottles of ink. I fell in love and never looked back.
