From $6 to $312: Are Expensive Fountain Pens Worth It? - Write Stuff, ep. 39
Fountain pens, especially the ones we talk about on our channel, are a luxury item. They can vary widely in cost, ranging from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars a pen. Many who stand on the outside of the pen hobby might scoff at what we enthusiasts consider a good value for a fountain pen. For those just starting the journey, it can be confusing to see similar looking pens with such a discrepancy in price.
In this episode, Tom shows what you pay for when you spend more money on a fountain pen - starting from a $6 Platinum Preppy and ending with a $312 Sailor 1911L.
