Fountain pen used by John F. Kennedy
I was asked by a history professor at my university today, if I knew
what kind of fountain pen JFK used. I have seen him use desk set dip pens to sign bills and letters, but no clue as to what pen he used daily? I thought someone on this group might know? -- Sincerely yours, Ron Wilbanks "Like a prized watch, a good fountain pen is a trusted companion for life." Spam filter: -1 for the real thing! |

Here in Mass there are a couple of places where there are photo archives of him...the Snorkel is the one seen in his pocket and when making autographs. Frank personally witnessed his use of a snorkel when he was a boy. |
