Sturdy Lamy Fountain Pens made in Germany. Called a “utilitarian” style of writing tool, the Lamy brand is a sturdy fountain pen that fits the hand well.

He pioneered the use of some molded synthetic plastic in the production of his fountain pens, making them light weight and extremely rugged in design.

With a history dating back to around the tenth century, first reservoir type pens made the art of writing popular until fountain style refillable pens came along in the mid 1800’s. They were found to be much easier to fill and write with while also being much less messy. The fountain pen’s writing point or nib is usually made from stainless steel, gold, or iridium which is a form of platinum. A later invention called a cartridge was filled with ink and replaced as needed making fountain pen refilling easier and much safer. A combination of gravity along with capillary action allows the ink to flow onto writing paper without the need of applying pressure, enabling the nib to flex and so the writer could use his writing tool to apply wider or finer lines as required.
