Good evening. Well it's Friday night and the week has come to an end and for me anyway Friday and Friday night and Saturday days were resting and relaxing and reflect upon the week and yeah just take it easy and yeah thinking about this week it's actually been a very good week for me. A lot of people have spoken to me about the fountain pen reviews that I've done so far and particularly that long one that I did where I spoke about my love for fountain pins. A number of people said that they fell asleep somewhere halfway while watching it and then woke up and yeah but still they said that they enjoyed it. Learned to think or two which was good. In terms of my acquisitions during this week I bought some vintage fountain pins and I did very very well. The three fountain pins that I bought I'll do a close-up in a second so yeah actually two of them are Parkers I've got a Parker 51 this is in pristine condition very very nice pin and I also did I'm just trying to get this in focus so okay so this is the Parker 51 that I purchased. If you look at the cap it is in pristine condition and the nib is also fine so that was the Parker 51. I also managed to get a Parker doofold and again that is in beautiful condition and if you look at the nib so that's the Parker doofold in. I also managed to get hold of a Conway Stuart. I mean this is I'll zoom out a little bit so I can see this a little bit bitter. Yep so the only thing that's not quite right with this is the top is a little bit damaged but that's just because of age and the opening top I mean the nib was just in pristine condition and yeah so it's been a good week in terms of fountain pin collecting and yep one very very interesting thing like in all three pins. As soon as I got them I cleaned them out and the Parker doofold as well as the Parker 51 I inked them and they just writing absolutely brilliantly and this got me thinking I mean how many 50 60 year old devices can you buy now that you know function the way that they function the day that they were created I mean not many so that goes to show I mean fountain pins yeah they're just an absolutely amazing thing. What's really sad is the heyday of fountain pins are over like I don't see a time when like most people will start using fountain pins again it's a very boutique niche sort of thing but yeah the few of us who still enjoy using fountain pins continue enjoying it and yeah I'm sure there'll be many people in the future who still will be enjoying it what would be very sad is if more manufacturers go bankrupt and or some of this fountain pin companies get acquired by big multinational companies and then they don't put the resources into it and the brands die yeah but I guess that's just the way things evolved but yeah I mean as far as this week has gone I mean it's been a very good week it's been absolutely brilliantly doing the fountain pins well I hope this week has been good for you as well and yeah we'll see you next week goodnight bye
