Hi Femobre

Welcome

I prefer to use a pen with a past, even if one has to romance on it's history

You are so lucky to have such a magnificent pen. Was it still working or did you have it repaired?

Thank you widget . I didn't try it at first as I didn't want to do any damage, so I took it straight to Mike at signatures for a full overall new seals etc . Signatures is a great specialist pen shop here in York.

I love this pen

My Onoto mammoth, It writes so smooth and what makes this pen even more special is that I found it in my fathers desk drawer after he passed away.

I would love to have known how he came to own it and if he ever used it.

I didn't find any ink and all his accounts were written in ballpoint, maybe he just picked it up somewhere or it could have belonged to a great Grandparent, I will never know.

Hello Folks,

Hi from the historic city of York in the UK.

I have been collecting fountain pens for a while now but i am new to this site, it looks a great place

I collect all makes and models as to whatever takes my fancy, I have a couple of new Lamy's and a new Noodler's nib creaper.

But one of my fave pens is my 1920's Onoto mammoth piston filler.

Regards

Chris
