Sunday Stamps: F is for Feathers and Fountain pens

Today's Sunday Stamps theme is the letter 'F'.

I found some good old writing tools. The feathers might be hardly used anymore nowadays, in contrary to fountain pens, who have a lot of new fans.











See more stamps showing an object or name starting with an 'F' at today's Sunday Stamps.

  1. What a great idea for F and for a mini-collection related to writing :)

    1. I was saved, er, helped by the coincidental fact that one feather and two fountain pens arrived into my mailbox recently! (First I thought of posting Flags, but writing tools of course steal my heart, as it might do with other stamp lovers, too :-) )

    2. Sure is a favourite theme of mine! I hardly use fountain pens nowadays, though. And I have never used a feather.

    3. I've just resurrected my fountain pens and am delighted to be using them again. I tried a feather a couple of times but without success.

  2. being left handed wasn't helpful in writing with a fountain pen! but I'm glad to see that they are making a comeback.

    1. A left handed friend of mine loves fountain pens and always puts the paper across, thus writing from top to bottom :-)

    2. While resurrecting my pens I noticed in a stationery / book shop (W H Smith's) that they now have left-handed fountain pens and calligraphy pens.

  3. I like the last stamp, what could be better than a selection of pens and pencils.

  4. I've always regretted the disappearance of fountain pens - I can't remember when I last used one. Pencils I still have hundreds!

    1. I think there is a revival of the fountain pen, Bob, so no worry! I've seen even groups of fountain pen fans at mail lovers' sites, many young (in their 20ies, 30ies) people !
