    Default Hello from Princeton, Illinois!

    Hello forum members:

    After a few year's hiatus, I decided to get back into our hobby and join your esteemed group.

    I learned to write at school with pencil, and with the teacher's approval we graduated to using a fountain pen. My uncle gifted me my first fp, a Sheaffer school pen! I love Sheaffer's because it was my first pen, they developed the lever-filler, were one of the first to use plastics and torpedo-shaped pens, and introduced many innovations.

    I only collect Sheaffer Oversize Balance pens. My wife doesn't know how many exactly because "they all look the same". So I have a "few" and am looking to finish my collection with a few rare finds.

    I look forward to correspond with you and expand my knowledge.

    Best regards,

    Pedro

    I'm pretty sure that my first fountain pen was a Sheaffer school pen. But I also liked the Wearevers--I think I liked the way the cartridges looked. Weird, I know.
