      <image:caption>Bagley’s story isn’t over yet, but this is a good moment to introduce one of my favorite gold pen manufacturers, E. S. Johnson. Because of Bagley’s lawsuit, the Smith brothers moved out of the original gold pen shop location. E. S. Johnson was employed by the Smith brothers around 1848 to produce gold pens for them. Perhaps because the Smith brothers were entangled in lawsuits, Johnson did not want to get involved in the mess and initially produced gold pens in Jersey City, across the river from New York. In the legal battle between Smith and Bagley, Bagley ultimately won in 1853. Bagley reclaimed all gold pen production materials, tools, and the original gold pen shop location, and the Smith brothers paid a large sum to Bagley and exited the gold pen business.  Meanwhile, E. S. Johnson set out on his own in Jersey City, establishing his own gold pen business under his name, later partnering with others to form E. S. Johnson &amp; Co. and eventually moving to New York. Johnson’s partnership lasted until 1873. After parting ways with his partners, Johnson continued his gold pen business until his retirement in 1897, after which his two sons took over.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alexander Morton, another high-quality gold nib dip pen manufacturer, was a gold pen maker through and through. Morton was an apprentice of Bagley (Bagley: That’s right! I’m back again!). He started his gold pen business around 1851. Like John Rendell, Morton enjoyed refining pen-making techniques. Between 1851 and 1860, Morton invented automatic processes for pointing, tempering, and grinding nibs, which greatly improved nib quality control. A. Morton’s gold pen business continued from 1851 all the way to around 1920.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Additionally, John Holland's research on modern fountain pens can be traced back to 1859, with the earliest production of gold-nib fountain pens in 1865. The first advertisement for modern fountain pens dates back to 1879 in John Holland's advertisement, introducing a hard rubber eyedropper fountain pen, preceding Waterman's patent for improvements in fountain pen feed by five years. The first modern fountain pen probably should be attributed to John Holland rather than the later-known Waterman. After introducing eyedropper fountain pen, Holland continued to improve nib structures and ink filling systems, subsequently releasing fountain pens with different filling systems. In 1885, John Holland company incorparated, becoming one of the largest early fountain pen manufacturers. However, due to Holland's remote location in Cincinnati, sales and promotion were significantly limited by their resellers. The renowned founder of Parker, George S. Parker, was one of Holland's resellers. Despite Holland's success, his fountain pen development lagged behind that of his competitors in New York. From the 1930s onwards, the quality of Holland's fountain pens significantly declined. By 1950, with the death of John Holland's last son, the John Holland brand came to an end.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After a long wait, my first commissioned pen arrived with the matching grip section (the second one is still in the painting process). I screwed the 14K semi-flex nib unit I got from FPnibs into this pen. They look like they are meant to be together. At that moment, contentment just filled my heart. The whole project started on a whim. But you know what, even daydreaming can be realized.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Review: Cross Bailey Light — You don’t need to flex to achieve line variation.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The pen I received for review is a Cross Bailey Light in Burgundy color. Apart from its modest and elegant appearance, I want to focus more on its writing experience. It really stands out from the steel nib fountain pen crowds that are in a similar price range, such as Lamy, Jinhao, Kaigelu, or Moonman. And the secret is in its nib. 而收到的这只钢笔来自于佰利轻盈系列，色号是酒红色。这只钢笔复古优雅的笔身我就不想太过仔细说了。我想着重说一下它的写感。它的写感在一众差不多价格的钢尖品牌（凌美，金豪，凯格露，末匠之类的）中是真的很突出。写感的特别来自于它家的笔尖。</image:caption>
