Collectors of Ephemera
A colossal source of Fountain Pen Links. Naturally, when you handle Montegrappa 1912, from the oldest Italian pen manufacturer, they are not called “pens” any more, but "Writing Instruments". See, for example, this Michelangelo's David Pen … Sorry, “Writing Instrument”… To obtain pricing and ordering information call toll-free…
The Online Art Gallery and Antiques Mall at “The Forum” has everything to collectors of anything. See for example, their ephemera collections where I found a Lady's Collection of Needle Books and a collection of old ink bottles.
More unusual collections: Boris Plotnikoff's Gasmask Collection
Andy Zito’s collection of over 4,500 snow domes
Andrew Westberg, president of the American Pencil Collectors Society
O.L. Schwencke sample cigar label page
Windmills and Watermills on postage stamps. Here is a nice Don Quixote fighting wind mills, on a stamp from Afrique Equatorial (Congo or Gabon or Chad, I’m not sure)
Elsewhere: The Stella Awards were inspired by Stella Liebeck. In 1992, Stella, then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee onto her lap, burning herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9 million in damages. Ever since, the name "Stella Award" has been applied to any wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits - including bogus cases
Sculptor Barry Crawford is The Clay Guy. (From “Look at This”)

Dear Sir,
I recently was gifted with this very expensive pen on my birthday which falls on 23rd January,2006.
The pen has medium nib.
I like the nib to be B Broad.
As I have not used it more than once is it possible to exchange the nib with B broad Nib under warranty.
I can send you the Medium Nib if upon return you can send me the Broad nib.
You have a great reputation I hope you will oblige.
Thanking you
