OH! WOW! Your observation just me realize that I haven't even begun to collect fountain pens for the great-grandchildren. All my calculations just went out the window. And, the next time that my wife askes how many fountain pens I have, I can honestly say: Well, not enough to give one to each of our descendants........ yet. And, it is reasonable to give a starter pen for beginning to learn penmanship (TWSBI and Pilots are my favorite here, especially the Kakuno and Plumix) and then later a real nice fountain pen that Grandpa actually used at his desk for graduation.
This realization just made my day! Now, i am really looking forward to the San Francisco Pen show in August.
