A Pair of Pens

I love pens....especially fountain pens.  Yes I am a pen collector.  Right after I graduated from art school, my first job was as a commercial artist at Paper Mate Pen at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago.  I bought my first real good fountain pen around 1976 (that;s a long time ago...oh my!!).  I still have that pen it works and I still use it with teal ink.
