This particular dip pen; bought from an antique shop, is surprisingly easy to use. Initially I found it didn’t hold the ink well, but now I find I get quite a few words from one dip.

My grandson Bailey is staying tonight, and I’m going to set up the 8mm silent movie projector and play some old Black and White silent movies. I think maybe Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, The Mummy and Cops with Buster Keaton.
Very cool pen and penmanship. I am always thank full that I grew up in the age of the ball point pen. As a left handed person, even with a ball point pen I always went home with ink on my hand from writing in school. I can't imagine how lwft handed people used pens like that without making a complete mess.

Love the movies as well. Enjoy.
