Curious if there are any other fans of fountain pens out there? If so, what are you favourites? What is your work horse? Favourite ink?

I love fountain pens. My father gave me a Parker 51 when I graduated. Finding ink Is not so easy.

Great choice!
What issues are you having finding ink?
 
I still can find bottles of the well known "quink" brand. I'm not an ink expert, I buy it because it comes from Parker

are you on FaceBook? The group "Fountain Pens" is pretty active.

If you're also interested in pencils, the group "Collecting Vintage Pencils and Pencil Sharpeners" is also active, if occasionally quirky.

I'll give it a look, thanks!

I had a lovely sharpener but for the life of me I can't find it.
