Flynn, 4 months old now!

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? . . . PHOTOS/TAGS: In 2017 @dubaitara & @wcellis were in Seattle. She just celebrated a major birthday. Happy belated BD, Tara! #westseattle #SalishSea #elliotbay #Alkibeach #pugetsound; #Montblanc #montblancpen #writinginstruments #goldring #germany #fountainpens #mystery #alkisurfshop #lostandfound #googlepixel (at Alki Beach Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdgto5lPNaf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
