Hello, my name is Michael. I'm a collector and restorer of fountain pens, primarily vintages ones. Though I do have a fair share of modern pens in my collection. I also sell restored pens.

Fun fact, both Cross and Waterman have produced fountain pen models named after their founders: Alonzo TOWNSEND Cross and Lewis EDSON Waterman.
Although the Edson was discontinued 2015/2016-ish, the Townsend, launched 1993, remains available today.
