Somehwere I have a B/W version of a standard (day rate) Radiomarine radiogram form. Original ink color for that was a deep maroon.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234406140077819810.post-70757648860716568122011-01-21T23:32:40.427-05:002011-01-21T23:32:40.427-05:00Roberta, where can I get the reproduced form?

She was an elementary teacher and principal and gave me the pens when I entered college.<br /><br />They are a matched pair, grey with the famous Parker white dot on the clip. The pen is a snorkel and still works as it did when my mother used it to grade papers.Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234406140077819810.post-66980384548161958842010-05-09T15:53:46.949-04:002010-05-09T15:53:46.949-04:00Whoops!

I have a number of vintage fountain pens that I have never taken time to see if they function. I now plan to re-examine them and bring them back to life.
