I just received Fountain pen hospital catalog today. And there are many beautiful pen! YET,
Over 90% acrylic pen.
Only one wooden pen a rosewood.
There is an overtly amount of silver / acrylic-pens
98% of the Fountain pens are plastic threaded.
I see silver, rhodium or chrome being the choice of the manufacturers as the ascent medium of the pens.
More and More I seeing a completely chrome nibs.
I see the Polaris, Atlas, or Carbara pen becoming more popular
I’m viewing a tradition of top of the roller and fountain pens being solid black also.
What I do not see in their catalog is the quality of photographs that IAP has. And yet their price list shows a Polaris pen at $ 140.00 I’m looking at a European round top ball point for $150. in a celluloid blank.
I have seen better and consistent -- uniqueness in the pens this group hand makes than in the catalog. I’m looking at a Visconti fountain pen Divina Desert Spring. For $1,000. no better than the wasted wood blanks from Eugene, and others on this site.
Just an observation and notes
