I thought some might get a kick out of this photo of the cast of "You Can't Take It With You" (one of my all-time favorite movies) and their beautiful autographs. From the variety of nibs it looks like they all carried their own fountain pens, and from the penmanship it's clear they knew how to use them. :D (Which one's your favorite?)

Awesome find! The first one on the left is my favorite...it looks like the oldest style.

They are all unique and special in their own way.

Another vote for Jimmy Stewart here ... practiced and professional, but not stiff and formal
