    Oh great. Thanks a lot Dave: I had no idea "Master Penmen" was even a thing, and now after having checked out their site I feel even worse about my own impressionistic scrawls!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    I have just updated myself with this threads most recent posts. I also regret the loss of cursive writing. I have looked at my grandfathers and his peers writing and they were not that great.....

    I have had fun at work carrying a fountain pen and when someone asks to borrow it I watch their reaction.

    Mostly "older" ones don't miss a beat but I have been pleasantry surprised by a few younger ones. Of course I don't give them an expensive pen!

    This post has been corrected many times by a spell checker...............

    I have a relative that likes using the nicer uniball pens. To keep from losing them he always keeps the cap when someone asks to borrow them.

    I’m old enough to remember inkwells in student desks and nibbed pens in elementary school - no fountain pens since they thought that would make us lazy. We were given a liner to guide our writing on line free paper - you got one liner for the entire school year.

    The big debate when I was in grade 6 was the introduction of ballpoint pens and lined paper in schools. They thought that would really make us lazy and detract from our work ethic as adults. I missed my chance at being ink monitor for my class because of ballpoint pens.

    You could always tell who was left-handed by the ink smudges on their hands. The contortions they had to do to drag their pens across the page were painful to see.

    Guess I'm not that old either. Always wondered why if you have little hands you get a big fat pencil, when your hands get bigger you got a smaller pencil. My first three grades had grades 1-5 in the same room.

    I'm left handed, the contortions aren't really that painful. You just have to adjust living in a right handed world
