I've taken to restoring really old fountain pens. It's my zen activity.
New ebonite pen (Noodler's Ebonite Konrad) on the left and an old ebonite pen (Waterman 52½V) on the right.
Some FP ink close up.
And my fat cat. We had her spayed and she's settled.
Very cool. When I was a kid I was given a shoebox full of antique pens and pencils. There were some really neat ones in there and I wish I still had them.
