Yeah, me too, and my kids are learning to write with fountain pens to this day. Getting familiar with the process of using a fountain pen while very young, demystifies the object. I still love to write with a fountain pen and own plenty.

As a kid it's kind of fun to get your hands dirty with ink, even fighting with cartridges (pressing them like toothpaste tubes and the like).

Recently I designed a blotter and started selling it on Amazon (Europe) this month; it's a completely niche product but it's selling a little nonetheless, meaning there's some demand for it.
