__ On or about 1959 in High School, I first began to use "ball-point pens" manufactured by Bich... they quickly became BIC pens... . Then, the below fountain pens began their fade into history. _m

Ich kenne diese Füller auch noch, und auch das Dilemma, wenn sie ausgelaufen sind.
Sehr gut hast du die Vergangenheit in die Gegenwart geholt.
Liebe Grüße,

Never had a decent fountain pen. They always leaked. Some early ball point pens leaked, as well. Remember the expensive pen and pencil sets given as gifts for graduation or for new job? More more show than for use. Looked impressive on a desk.

__Tip... pit?

__ The early 1940's school desks, where I sat when in my younger grades, had a hole in the front corners that accepted what we called, an "ink-pit". Smiles! _m

Those ink pits or ink wells wells as I remember them, had old ink that was more brown than black.

So much the young are missing today.
