Review: Nemosine Singularity Fountain Pen
I recently stumbled across the Nemosine Singularity fountain pen on Amazon and decided I’d take a chance. Its a line of Taiwanese-made pens with German nibs for $15-$30 depending on the reseller, nib and finish.

In its fancy box is an ink cartridge…
The Sheaffer Cadet Tip Dip Fountain Pen
Inside this box is something I stumbled upon on Ebay. It contains a NOS (that’s New Old Stock) Sheaffer Cadet fountain pen. So, NOS the white lettering printed on the body is still visible. I don’t mean to gloat but I don’t tend to score the good deals on Ebay and this time, I hit…
