Nifty Fifty 17

None of us can have as many virtues as the fountain-pen, or half its cussedness; but we can try. -Mark Twain

Love the quote - and photo's nice too. I can remember getting into lots of trouble with fountain pens when I was a school - and even more with the pens with nibs that had to be dipped into the ink. Neither was good for a left hander!

He ha fun words! Nice image.

I like the shot too- I remember trying to turn the blotting pads into pictures so I never really completely used them up- it was a fun game I played with my art pens.

Cool shot and I like your dof.

Real fountain pens! I haven’t seen one of those for many years. Nice shot. I like the dof and sepia finish. @jeneurell I remember those! A little ink pot in a hole in one corner of the school desk and dipping the nib, getting ink everywhere. Kids today have no idea.
