Alpo Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 I never had a problem with leakage. I started using the Schaefer cartridge fountain pen in 7th grade. Never had a leak. 1 Quote

In grade school (Catholic) we were required to buy “washable blue” ink as opposed to permanent, which was important because boys had to wear white shirts. The unintended consequence was that it encouraged “pen fights” where you whip the pen, making it fling ink on your opponent. Hey, it was supposed to be washable, right? 2 3 Quote

Kinda cool. I’m old enough to remember fountain pens that had an internal bladder. There was a lever on the outside of the pen that when lifted would squeeze the bladder. On release, the bladder would expand and draw ink from a bottle in through the nib. As a tyke, I thought that was cool. What I didn’t understand is that if you lifted the lever again, you’d squirt ink everywhere. Dad was NOT pleased… 😱 3 Quote
