Despite the pressure of the season to go out and get into impromptu wrestling matches with strangers over toys, I’ve gotten a heap of little gifts for the pen-chasing public wrapped and ready to go. New maker’s pages, for relatively new makers: Franklin-Christoph and Italix now both appear here, and I must acknowledge assistance in both cases from the management of each. Because of my self-imposed rule of not delving into a maker unless I’ve sampled their work, these new developments are thanks to the presence in my life of a Model 27 and a Parson’s Essential, respectively.
But that’s not all! I’ve also added profiles of the Sheaffer 100, the Cross Aventura, and the probably-misnamed Waterman Ligne 60. I’m now going off for a long winter’s nap.
