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.

John Foley, the great gold pen man (candidate for
Supervisor), is manufacturing a massive pen to be
used by him at the meeting of the board, when he
becomes a member thereof. The pen may be mightier
than the sword, but It will be "nowhere" when
wielded by Mr. Foley as against the ballot. The
ballot tells on election days.
