    Default Hello from Chicago!

    Hello! Call me Spice! I am an 8th grader in chicago, IL. From a young age I have liked pens in general. Now, at the age of 12, I have a decently sized pen collection of A montblanc 75th Limited Edition 145, A few misc. pens like parkers, which includes a very antique 'fat' Parker pen, an older ST dupont, a pilot Lucina, and some other fountain pens. I'm probably the most eccentric person in my class, since I'm in 8th grade. I like to write books, and write in general.

    ...And I'm probably the youngest person on this website

    Welcome Spice. My son is in grade 7 and has a few fountain pens. Be confident and proud of who you are.

    Also, be sure to share with your Mom and Dad your pen hobby and access to all your chats on this and every other chat forum. Parents have good instincts and advice to share. Trust your parents if in doubt.

    I am sure you will be learning and researching this hobby and teaching us all about fountain pens in a short time.

    Hey Spice! I'm also a new member and in high school; not much older than you. I really enjoy FPs and probably spending too much on them. If I may ask, how did you get your large collection?

    Ask around family- older members seem to have a lot from their time...
    Look on websites too... See if they have some sales going on

    Hey, Spice! Welcome from one who may be the oldest member of the forum at 79! We could make a great team. I've used a fountain pen since fifth grade (or was it fourth?). Write well, and much.
