Glen - Sorry for the delay in responding to your question about pens I have owned.
Although I frequently wrote with a fountain pen when I was n high school in the 1950s, I have no recollection of the brands - Shaeffers, probably. When I arrived in Korea in 1962, I bought a red Parker pen with a recessed nib and gold inlaid device that looked like this:

In recent decades I have bought a couple of less expensive Pelicans, a couple fo Parker Sonnets (which had a very smooth write out, but didn't seem as durable as the Pelikans), and a couple bought from Fahrney's: a Waterman, an Omas, and a neat little snub-nosed Stipula Passport, which wrote beautifully and that I loved, but it eventually started leaking.
I look forward to seeing more pen boxes and hearing from your interlocutors on the subject of fountain pens and pen boxes.
