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.
Any Comments? Please send an e-mail to: rd@kamakurapens.com |

Fish Bit on Pen
FORT MADISON,Ia. (UPI)-
Although it's a "fish story," the
anecdote from George Schenck, a
Bradenton, Fla. motor court operator,
sounded good to a local
pen manufacturer.
Lodged In the throat of a 13-
pound black grouper he caught on
a recent fishing trip, Schenck reported,
was a Sheaffer fountain
pen. When wiped off and uncapped,
it proved to have a full
supply of ink and wrote perfectly,
he said.
