My wife wants a pen ?

Talking with the wife the other day and conversation went to pens, she told me she wanted one of the Acme pens with the Frank Lloyd Wright design on it. I don't know anything about them but I found them and ordered one. She is good to me so I try to get her what she wants when possible, The pens run about 70 bucks and are roller balls, the ad said a kit was available to convert to a fountain... Sounds neat, does anyone know anything about them?

Yes. Acme is a nice pen. She should be happy with it.

Haven't heard of that one... But I will search it out. Always on the lookout for something new and different. Thanks!

Nice, that's a "Biltmore" from FLW collections.
Acme has lots of interesting theme graphics design pens.

Nice pen Al. I am not sure if there is a rollerball-to-fountain pen conversion kit.

But I may be wrong.

My wife LOVES those pens... or rather anything "Frank Lloyd Wright".

She wants to take an entire trip just to see Falling Water. I told her we could stay at a casino somewhere in the vacinity and take a day trip.

That is what it said in the ad, i might have ordered the wrong one, I picked this one mainly for the design for my wife. She just loves anything Frank Lloyd Wright. Me on the other hand I love my Mont Blanc, just a shame I can't write..lol
