True, being able to try them goes a long way. I'm lucky enough to have a B&M shop not too far from me and that makes decisions a lot easier. Comparatively speaking, even a lower end fountain pen can be quite an investment on what basically amounts to an archaic tool. If something is working for...- RobNYC

I agree, they do smoke great! It's true, they don't seem to hold their value, I have no idea why, although the 0, 00, and 000 do seem to maintain it a bit, but that's great news for someone in the market for an estate Autograph!- RobNYC

In that range some safe bets are the Kaweco Sport, Twisbi Mini, Twisbi Eco, Lamy Safari/AL Star/Vista, Diplomat Magnum, Pilot Kaküno, Pilot MR (Metropolitan), Parker IM, several pens from Narwhal (Nahvalur)...I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Vintage pens could be another way to go, you can get a...- RobNYC

Welcome from New York City! A white or light-colored acrylic stem like that should not yellow over time. I've not had this problem with any light-colored stems over the years.- RobNYC
