Thanks to everyone (all 21 of you!) who came to Perks for our February meeting last night. The topic of second- and third-tier vintage fountain pens was well-represented with examples of Esterbrook, Wearever, Eclipse & Morrison pens and many others.
Many thanks to Charles for the theme idea & short talk on the topic, as well as to Brian, who brought a large variety of beautiful & colourful pens.

One of the pens Brian brought in to show us was this gorgeous WASP (short for
W. A. Sheaffer
Pen Company) Large 'Clipper' De Luxe made by Sheaffer under the imprint of their sub-brand WASP :

Twenty-one!? That's fantastic.
Who says no one uses fountain pens any more.
