[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 542767, member: 7"] Sheaffer school pens were the introduction that many had to the world of fountain pens. Cartridge filled with steel nibs. Surprisingly tough. They made better pens of course. There is something about the plastic of the 1930's and 1940's that feels good in the hand. Often a celluloid. One type burns easily. The Parker's had very interesting pens at the time. Often the clip was gold plated and silver filled. Sheaffer's of that period also had nice plastic. Triumph nibs that could write through multiple layers of paper and carbon to make good copies. Military clips, so as to not mess up the uniform and still have a pen in the pocket. And the snorkel that could suck that last drop of ink from a bottle. [/QUOTE]
