I guess most of the modern generation don't even know what a fountain pen is.
My first fountain pen bought in the mid 40's was a "Platignum" A cheap brand that we used at school for about 3 years before the "Biro" took over. The "Platignum" was heaps easier to use than the then standard "Post office" pen with interchangeable nibs and much cleaner. Another well known brand was the "Parker". They cost about half a weeks pay in those days.
The last fountain pen I had was in a pen and pencil set I got for my 21st birthday in 1955
