I run across tons of old print ads from small fountain pen manufacturers from all over the globe. They are so creative and engaging. Not just for the cool pens that they advertise, but also for the artwork and for the trip back in time.
It is wonderfully nostalgic to think back to the successful and large manufacturing base that the U.S. used to have where all of these small businesses used to compete rather successfully for market share (they probably didn’t call it that back then).
You can also find antique pen catalogues, posters, paraphernalia and ephemera for sale online and in various antique shops. You can also find vintage fountain pen commercials on You Tube like this one for Parker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4iFXsadK7o
Just Google, “Vintage Fountain Pen Ads” and see what comes up!
