Why are there small holes in my vintage fountain pens lid?
And no, I don't mean where the pen fits in!
It has 2 small holes about midway down the lid, circular and roughly on opposite sides, but not level with each other. I have seen this on a different vintage pen too. Are they part of the manufacturing process? (Or have they perhaps been 'drilled' by someone in an effort to remove a 'stuck' lid?)
Sensible answers would really be appreciated! Thanks
)
Thanks for the answers so far.
I think that the pen was made a long time before any 'choking' hazards were recognised (or legislated for!), and the pen lid is in fact quite large.
The holes are drilled during manufacturing to prevent a vacuum from forming. If not present the ink would be drawn out of the reservoir every time you removed the top, and there would be ink all over your hands and clothing..

These vintage snowmobiles will show you in their own way how history and time have changed the way that snowmobiles look and perform.
Vintage snowmobiles aren’t always seen at museums sometimes you will have the opportunity of seeing snow racing, where different kinds of vintage snowmobiles will race against each other. While these snowmobiles have been restored to their original condition with parts that are from that time period, they are still capable of going at high speeds.
