Pelikan, Mont Blanc, Conway Stewart, Sheaffer's from the late 1950's and early 1960's. Parker pens . Not always sure what the difference is between modern and vintage. A modern pen can be 40 to 50 years old!
Vintage or Modern? When people describe a fountain pen as modern, just what are the dates on that? I have many Pelikan pens that are considered modern but they reach back into time to 1955, 1974, 1980, and my last one was 2003. The 1974 looks and operates just like the 1955, and is very close kin to the 1980 and 2003 models? So is 60 years not vintage? I have many Parker pens that fall under the same question of modern or vintage. Is it the materials? The filling system? The nib? It is like arguing cars, the cars I grew up with are now "vintage" To me, they are not. I can not imagine my father's 64 Mustang as vintage, but I can his fixed up Model A at the same time period. So what makes it Vintage and what makes it Modern? My first post here. I am a retired librarian (I guess that makes me vintage, but I still feel modern).
