We've been playing!
Wouldn't you know, of all the pen nibs we have in our collections,
we'd fall in love with those constructed from V8 cans!
WRITE IT DOWN!
Written goals
have a way of transforming wishes
into wants;
cant's into cans;
dreams into plans;
and plans into reality.
Don't just think it - ink it!”

My Hero 329 fountain pen arrived in the mail today from www.hisnibs.com/. On his site, His Nibs says:
"The Hero '329' series has been a perennial best-seller of the Hero line. Like the '330' series, these pens have hooded nibs, designed to recall the Parker '51' and '61'. Just above the nib is an arrow symbol insert, much like that found on the Parker '61' (although certain customers maintain that it's the 'Star Trek' emblem ). They measure 5-1/2" capped, and 5-3/4" posted. They lay down a 'very' fine line, have aerometric-style 'pump' converters for bottled ink (with an ink-view window), and spring clips (with the name 'Hero' engraved upon it). They have brushed-steel slip caps, which have the Chinese characters for 'Hero', '329' and 'Made in China' etched upon them. These pens seem to write forever! This was the first Hero model I was ever exposed to, and is the model which convinced me to start carrying the entire line."
I first heard about this pen from Gordon Coales, creator of the fine Gordy's Camera Straps, or simply Gordy Straps as most photographers refer to them. Gordon said how much he enjoyed writing with his so I did some research and discovered that this pen is not only highly regarded but also very inexpensive. Not to mention it's nearly a clone of the Parker 51 I used for years as a student. I'd say it's a keeper!
