I'm so old I remember when we got a new pair of rabbit fur line gloves every winter for school.

Who's the hunter and who prepared the hides?

I remember when student desks had an ink well.

I remember writing with a fountain pen. Then they were replaced by pens with a replaceable ink cartridge.

I remember when student desks had an ink well.

Yes!

 

[LaFleche]

I remember writing with a fountain pen.

Yes, and learning Sütterlin alphabet.

 

[R2elk]

Yes, and learning Sütterlin alphabet.

Fortunately that was not a requirement here.

 

[LaFleche]

This is what we had to use, but ours was not a fancy collection.

And there was a hole in the desk cover for the little ink bottle.

When I was a kid watching that show I remember thinking Archie was an old man. Carroll O'Connor was 47 when the show started in 1971.

Forty-seven seems very young to me now!

 

[Canadian Wind]

Yes, and learning Sütterlin alphabet.

I had to look that one up!
