Cartridge Connection

I didn't make the logical but not necessarily obvious connection that the Kaweco pens take standard sized cartridges.  I was concerned I'd run out and bought 3 packets in 3 different colours.

But it appears I have dozens of this size cartridge in J. Herbin canisters, some of which I bought in Portland at Oblations and others from Swisher, now dark.

Stypen Up and Away

One day I found a lilac, but instead of a bouquet of lovely blooms, it was a pen.

And then, in the Spring of 2007, driving through Maine, I wandered into an art store and found this retractable pen--couldn't resist it.

Stypen(s) are made in France, probably a school pen, certainly affordable and write well.
