A belle dame being boxed up in her marvelous bed chamber perhaps first expressed her unspoken love in writing. Maybe she took her jewel studded fountain pen lying on the tiptop well burnished and well decorated cupboard. She dipped the glaring nib into inkpot and surreptitiously wrote a love letter for her romantic knight who was far away from home town. Or a bereaved mother might have unfurled her melancholic experience writing her diary which she wrote with a fountain pen.  Or a poet composed a romantic poem with the feather and smooth touch of a fountain pen. So it is seen that there is the everlasting bond between man and fountain pen. It has written a vast history o f both romantic and tragic life of human being. It divulges the true ethos of love and hatred, passion and depression, joy and tragedy lay embedded in the locker of mind of human beings.

The first fountain pen was used during 10th century. At that time, people were much more romantic and adventurous.  Fountain pens at that time were the glitterati of the house. The usage of fountain pens in that particular milieu was restricted to monastic class because of the tremendous pressure of religion. However, Daniel Schwenter, a German luminary claimed that he invented a new fountain pen which was designed with two quills. One quill was used as the inkpot that further lay inserted into a large quill.

Then much later in the year of 1870s, Duncan MacKinnon of New York and Alonzo T. Cross of Province, RI invented stylographic pens which contained point nib instead of split nib. This fountain pen was also enclosed with wire working just like an ink valve. However, Waterman’s invention is remarkable in this context. His model is now considered to be the most popular and much usable fountain pen. Aurora, Pelikan, Sheafer, Parker and more are the advanced and most elegant fountain pens in the market.
