Hi to all,

I am from a very wet, at the moment,  south west of the UK. I've been collecting a number of years now and have a pretty reasonable Swan/Mabie Todd collection of Eternals from the 19teens to 1930s. I also like modern Onotos as well as old ones and the pens of Kenrick Jefferson, a UK based stationers who got Swan to manufacture for them. I have been a WES member for 15 years and sat on the Council twice. WES is the UK based Writing Equipment Society open to all - 20% of our members are from outside the UK.

Welcome Charles, it is good to have another familiar face and name contributing here.

 

Stay dry - we were flooded badly and suddenly in 2001, of course on seeing the water first bubble up out of the drains on the street, the first things to go upstairs were my pens and their associated bits and pieces!

Welcome!
 

​You will find the folks here at the FP Board really knowledgable and very friendly, and frankly, a much more learned audience willing to help you out. This "IS" the place to grow and to know about fountain pens!

 

​If there is something I can do for you, please let me know!
