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 Washington Post, July 18th, 1907
Enormous Sales of Waterman's Ideal
Fountain Pens.
Special to The Washington Post
At the national stationers convention, now in
session here, It was yesterday stated by Mr
Waterman of the L E Waterman Company
of New York makers of Waterman's
Ideal Fountain Pen that their concern
alone sold last year's pens for which
consumers invested over $2, 220,000 of which
nearly two thirds were sold by stationers.
This well illustrates the rapidly increasing
use of fountain pens
