The exhibition was opened as part of the Exhibit of the Month project on August 21, 2025. Two inseparable companions of schoolchildren of the past - a fountain pen and a "non-spill" inkwell were presented in the exhibition.
The inkwell was called "non-spill" because of its special design - the middle in the form of a truncated cone. In practice, the ink really does not spill.
Fountain pens were needed to write with ink. Steel nibs for writing came into mass circulation in the 19th century and quickly replaced goose nibs. The Temirtau Museum funds contain fountain pens of the KZF Ts2K brand. This is a school dip pen, produced at the USSR stationery factory and marked with a hammer and sickle - a sign of high quality. By the end of the 60s, with the advent of ballpoint pens, they practically went out of use. Today they have become objects of nostalgia and collecting.
