This is a collection of Fountain Pen Articles, Fountain Pen Histories and Fountain Pen Essays that have been published either online or in obscure books or jorunals. Things that I found while doing research on other pen topics and I thought were too good to be lost to obscurity and should be put online where a Google search could unearth them easily for the fountain pen enthusiast and fountain pen researcher.. If you know of an article that should be placed here, please let me know.
Feel free to use this information as you like, but I would appreciate a mention for the Kamakura pens site if you publish an article, or book with information gathered here. Recently, I have seen people publish pen articles exclusively from my archive with out any mention at all and that always breaks my heart.

Found in the Atlanta Constitution Nov 23, 1913
Brunswick, Ga., November 22.—
(Special.)—Brunswick and Glynn
county officers are bafflled with what
appears to be another mysterious murder,
and this time the coroner's jury
has not been able to even establish
the identity of the body found.
While hunting in a swamp, six miles
from the city, J, S. Boston discovered
the skeleton of what appeared to' be a
man. He did not make a very close
examination, but at once notified the
coroner and yesterday went out to
make an investigation. The body was
found to be that of a white man. about
six feet in height, but it was impossible
to tell anything about his age.
Near the body was found portions of
his clothing, including a blue serge
suit, which was purchased from the
high-class firm of Gimbel Bros., New
York. In the hip pocket of the trousers-
was found a 38-caliber revolver.
In the coat a Carey fountain pen
was found, within one of the trouser
pockets was a $1 bill and two dimes,
but there were no papers or anything
else by which the identity of the body
could be identified. After an investigation
the coroner's jury returned the
following verdict: "We, the jury, con-
sidering the evidence at hand and obtainable,
find that the deceased came
to his death by violence at the hands
of a party or parties unknown."
A bullet hole through the head told
the story of how the man met his
death, but whether it was self-inflicted
or not will probably never be
known. Who the man is, how he was
killed and when, are questions yet unsolved.
