Pen Wednesday--ACME pens

ACME pens are designed by some of the world's most famous designers, including Leonardo da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, and Antoni Gaudi. The pens have a nice heft and are well balanced. I bought "Punctuation" at the Santa Fe Pen Fair earlier this month.

Very lovely pens!

Given your busy life, you can't possibly write enough to use up all the ink in all the pens you possess. Does the ink dry up or will it be good forever? Or are some of them fountain pens? And if so, will the (rubber?) ink holders rot after due time?

The rollerball ink will dry up after about a year. I have only a handful of fountain pens; the rubber and plastic reservoirs are not rare and can be easily replaced if they're damaged.

Those are fun. How many do you have?
