There is a famous little "Pen Store" down in Wall Street - Only about six feet wide. The store was started 200 years ago by a man who used to write letters home for the imigrants for a small fee - to help them mail money back home to their country of origin. That might have been the Quill Erra. I bought a Gold Shaeffer there 30 years ago - but use it now only for Christmas cards. It isn't a dipper though. My mother had one, and a inkwell in her farm school desk. Those were blotter days..
