Those are beautiful boxes, Glen. I have used a fountain pen all my life and have acquired a few, but haven't tried your approach to fountain pen acquisition.

The pen that I have used day in-day out for the past 25 years is a black Pelikan M1000 with an 18C-175 EF nib that Lil gave me as a gift when I graduated from the Army in 1992 after 30 years' service. Since it has jostled around on my desk or in my shirt or jacket pocket with other writing instruments, it is covered with a fine tracery of scratches like old ivory. Writes very smoothly.

Not sure what ever happened to the box it came in.

Look forward to seeing more pen boxes.

Don
