Well, not having much else better to do this morning (well, I do have better to do, but the desire not to aggrivate my back is keeping me from doing it), I decided to clean all my fountain pens. So, I figured I’d count them as well. Let’s see (doing his best Count impression from Sesame Street<\/i>): 1, 2, 3…. 30 Schaeffers, 15 Parkers, 3 Mont Blancs, 2 Rotrings, 2 Watermans, 8 unidentifiable manufacturer or hand-made, 1 Esterbrook, 1 Arnold, and 7 Rapidographs (although I also have some Rapidographs sets buried in the closet). <\/p>\n
Doing some more investigation:<\/p>\n
