Conklin crescent and Waterman eyedropper. My two favorite pens, especially with a nice flexi nib.

If it's the capillary fill version it can be flushed using the rubber bulb of an old bicycle horn or similar rubber bulb or a syringe with a rubber hose attached. -fit the bulb or hose over the capillary tube and section and squeeze and then release the bulb to suck and then blow a weak cool detergent and water solution up and down through the nib. If using a syringe - pull and push the plunger to flush the pen in both directions Finally rinse with clean cool water using the same method. Rob

The only fountain pen I've got is a Wahl Eversharp bought by my great grandmother in 1929. The note with it contains all known details on it and was written by my grandfather before he died.
What I keep in my pocket for daily use though is this Fisher Original Astronaut Pen because it really does write underwater and upside down...

Got these two on sale.
I still have one in my pocket from 13 years ago that’s blue plastic and SS. That replaced a SS with gold clip from 1997 my wife lost at Costco. Nothing quite like a Parker Jotter.

Just picked these up at an antiques store. The top is a champion-guess 60/70’s-but I liked it due to the clear ink reservoir. Cleaned and started writing with it! If I remember right the other is an Esterbrook from the late 40’s. Going to learn to rebuild pens on these.

You might already know this: the interesting things about those Esterbrooks is that the nib is interchangeable, so if you're not entirely happy with it, you can find a replacement in a different style or width.

Thanks Nobert. I have to rebuild it first and then try it out. After that if I don’t like it I may change it. I like fine point letters so we will see what this o e is like.
