In the early 60s, I wrote a bit using a copper Esterbrook with stub nib that my mother kept for writing Christmas cards with green ink. I destroyed that pen in the end. 15 years or so later after college I bought a navy blue Parker Vector to write letters to friends; they were surprised. That pen disappeared in one of my moves to the UK, but the image of that pen always brings fond memories of good correspondence with old school classmates I wish I'd known better.
I've just convinced myself to find one of these blue Vectors!

PS: Update. I bought an old NIB blue Vector off the 'Bay. Boy, they are cheap!
