I'm not that old ;) but I went to school in Germany and we used fountain pens and blotters. I wonder if they still do. I especially like those Schaeffer pens in the box. And then to top it off with Vivian Vance...what could be better!Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
