Lich Drug Fountain Pen Ad

This 1917 ad touted Parker Fountain Pens at the Lich Drug Store in Sutton.

Has anyone within the range of this post used a fountain pen within the past month? the past year? ever?

Check out http://www.parkerpen.com/en-US to order your new Parker fountain pen - pens in their prestige lines typically run from $200 - $500. It won't take much effort to find some a bit pricier.

The Carter Silver Paladium goes for a cool $17,800. Would you risk actually using one of those. Certainly wouldn't put it my pocket and walk out the door.
