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?

Apparently a Sheaffer Snorkel. See these posts by Nathan Tardif

My e-mail address works as is.

JFK used. I have seen him use

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.
