When you find something curious, do you investigate?
Tuesday, I dug into the mystery of a vintage gold Goldring fountain pen.
I became aware of fine writing instruments in my late 20s ✍️when a client gave me a gold & burgundy Montblanc pen & pencil set.
Over the years I’ve acquired some fancy rollerballs & fountain pens.✒️ They’re special, & I remember how I came to have them.
I’ve been spring cleaning, sorting through boxes, drawers & cubbies. As I decide what to keep, toss, ️recycle♻️ or donate, ️ I’m using “If in doubt, throw it out,” as a guide.
A German Goldring pen with an iridium nib turned up. ️ It was familiar. I figured it was a “garage sale” purchase.
I took it apart to clean it. As I slid open the pen barrel, I saw an odd component with a dolphin insignia. I didn’t know if it could be freed, but I got it out & inspected. On the flip side was a rubber stamp with the name, “George Xxxx.” ️ It showed his address in West Seattle near our store, Alki Surf Shop.
It was cool for a pen to have a built in stamp & blotter & I wondered if George was still around?
After a quick Google search of George’s name & address, the first hit was a property database . It suggested he’s probably either very old or no longer alive. I was curious, but not a stalker, so the search ended there. ♀️
Search engines like Whitepages, US Search & others find people & dig up contact information. ℹ️ There are search engines for finding email addresses, too. .
TO FIND A PHONE #, EMAIL OR ADDRESS ON GOOGLE, start by typing into search:
Name+City+phone
Name+City+email
Name+City+address
It’s freaky how easy it is to find people. But in the past, each year personal information was printed & distributed to everyone in something called the Phone Book☎️!
Have you ever tried to find an old friend? How did it go?
