I'm reading a book that mentions inherited #FountainPens, but also is set before railways to Inverness opened, so I'm doing a bit of research into relative timelines to see if this is even possible.
Turns out it is, just barely: First railway to Inverness opened 1854, while eyedropper fountain pens were patented in 1809. So if this takes place 1850, fountain pen is 30 years old, it's possible. (But not if pen is self-filling, patented in1832.)
