A pen under the tree?

12/18/2017

Time was a fountain pen or a fountain pen and pencil set was a traditional Christmas present.  I’ve seen old print advertisements with folks beaming as they unwrap a Parker Vacumatic set.  What about giving a fountain pen for Christmas 2017?  We need to consider the recipient of the gift.  Does the person currently write with a fountain pen?  If so, do they like vintage or modern pens?  If they have never used a fountain pen before then maybe a modern pen like a Lamy Safari or a Pilot Metropolitan might be a good place to start.  These pens are easy to use, very durable and relatively inexpensive.  If the person currently uses fountain pens and you think they may be ready for a vintage pen I would recommend a Parker 51.  The Parker 51 is relatively indestructible and although it might cost a bit more, nice 51s can be found at reasonable prices.  Just like back in the day the person will be beaming when they unwrap the pen on Christmas morning!  Oh – don’t forget the ink and paper!
Happy Holidays and Happy Collecting!
