The Great Pen Race Page 2
Pen fanciers and collectors tend to come from a widely diverse range of professional occupations, it's almost incomprehensible to think that many enthusiastic pen collectors think little of travelling World-wide to attend special fountain pen exhibitions, or going to auction sales for pre-viewing
The Great Fountain Pen Race
Firstly, I would like to say a belated big 'Thank You' to all the people who in the late 1940's, early 1950's were throwing away their fountain pens, believing that the new revolutionary cheap buy and throw away, when emptied, Biro Pens, were the modern thing's of the future that didn't need to be filled with ink. This is the main reason why these generally far superior quality classic old fountain pens are rare and hard to find in perfect condition today.
A tribute to the late Elizabeth Taylor
A lettercard with the original envelope handwritten by Elizabeth and posted from her address at Kinnerton Street London SW1.
Post stamp marked London June 21st 1982. Sent from one Lady to another, what is written by Elizabeth Taylor is respected as private.
Just a few lines about their subject under discussion, written in an informal and familiar manner just like one acquaintance might drop a few lines to another.
