Think dip pens and quills and you know many people would have been frustrated in writing. The very first fountain pens were notorious for leaking, and as a result, several manufacturers attempted to find a solution to this issue. The initial answer came from Petrache Poenaru, who received a patent for a fountain pen in 1827. He created a pen that had a reservoir of ink and was smooth enough to write with that it did away with nibs scratching through paper. A few decades later, Lewis Waterman created the “Ideal” fountain pen - no leaks and scratches. The common problem of ink leaks was addressed by developing the capillary feed, ensuring consistent ink flow throughout the pen. If you look at vintage Waterman ads, a full refund will be given if one isn’t satisfied with the pen.
Some people believe the fountain pen to be the pinnacle of writing luxury. Its sophisticated design and array of choices make for a writing instrument that can last for years.
