My kids are in their 40s and wouldn’t have any idea of what they are. I’m thinking you’d need to be around 70 to recognize them. I haven’t seen them since 3rd or 4th grade. 

I'm not only know what they are, I have some, because I have two pens that use them.

 

And they sell them at Office Depot.

Do you have a shirt with a top pocket stained blue?

I never had a problem with leakage. I started using the Schaefer cartridge fountain pen in 7th grade. Never had a leak.

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?

That's why I either use a piston fill or converter.

Had to look that up as I wasn’t aware of them. 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… 😱
