When you make a ballpoint or a rollerball a quick line across a sheet of paper tells us that it is working ok. However, what about a fountain pen? If you try it out by writing with it, is it still brand new or is it used?
If you buy a bog standard fountain pen from W H Smith for example this will not have been used. Do those of you who sell fountain pens try them out to ensure they are working or do you trust that the makers of the kit have got it right? It would be terrible if we made a fountain pen as a special gift and it didn’t work. But when does it stop being new and become used?
Just thought I would ask the question.
Happy turning.
