Here's my collection of fountain pens, along with a ballpoint, rollerball and pencil. I had used fountain pens in high school, and as an adult started collecting them again. All except the wooden one are made by Parker. As for favorite, it's a tough call as they all have their own little nuances. I love the weight and balance of the 2009 Parker Urban (fifth from left), I love the soft nib on the 1965 Parker 17 (fifth from right), and I like the look of the 1964 Parker Slimfold (blue and gold one in the middle, with matching pencil 3rd from right). All except the 1943 Victory (4th from left) are in full working order and get used in regular rotation.
