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.

FOUNTAIN PEN PERFECTION.
The Quaker City Self-Filling Fountain
Pen Fills Itself and Thereby Fills
a Long-Felt Want
Any reliable time saver is eagerly
welcomed by the modern, business
man. Probably the most forceful illustration
of this condition of things
i n recent years was the enthusiasm
with, which the fountain pen -was
greeted. It seemed to mean the saving
of so much time and annoyance for
so'many people that its sale was simply
phenominal.
But the fountain pen was not by
any means perfect and its users soon
discovered that the bother was only
concentrated, Instead of being dispensed
with. The finest fountain pen
would write indifferently well as long
as there was ink in it but. when that
gave out our busy man had to stop,
unscrew an inky cap, hunt around for
a filler and the particular ink recommended
by the manufacturers of that
particular pen and so on through a
long process of annoyance.
The manufacturers of the Quaker
City Self-Filing Fountain Pen have
overcome all this bother and produced
a practical writing tool which is as
easy to use as if one were simply writing
with the filler needed for the oJfl
pen. There is nothing to unscrew,
nothing to squirt nothing to lose or
get out of order. Its construction Is
simple and substantial and the operation
of filling is so simple that yon
wonder nobody thought of it before.
It is merely necessary to dip the pen
pressing it slightly, lift up as usual
and go on writing. Its capacity 5s no
less than the bothersome kind,
We feel that we are not over-praising
the Quaker City Self-Filling Four.-
tain Pen when we say that it represents
the acme of fountain pen
