Memory jog... through much of high school, I used an Esterbrook...something like this one.

Probably around my sophomore year, (I'm a '61 graduate) I started using the Parker T ball jotter ballpoint. I guess my school years were kind of the transition period of the nation going from fountain pens to ballpoints. Grade school writing class we used steel nibbed things we actually dipped in ink..write a bit, dip again. This the late 1940's..
