Truly a classic pen with rich history.

I had the good fortune of going across as a cultural ambassador to U.K. in 2001. It is nostalgic, visiting Oxford & Cambridge Universities and addressing the Pitt Rivers Museum & Hillary Frisby’s Calligraphy class and having had interesting discussions about manuscripts at the Bodleian Library in Oxford University. I was taken on a tour of Oxford Story on Broad Street, where they explained the formation of Oxford University and how some in Oxford decided to form Cambridge University. Interestingly, three erudite women Prime Ministers are Oxford alumni… Indira Gandhi from India, Margaret Thatcher from U K and Benazir Bhutto from Pakistan. The name Oxford came from Oxen that were crossing a ford in the river Isis “ox crossing the ford” became “Oxford” and the bridge over river cam flowing through became “Cambridge”. The Oxford University monogram has an open book while the Cambridge has a closed book, the subtle humour as expressed by my learned professor friend is that, at Oxford they are still studying, as the book is still open and at Cambridge they have finished studying and closed the book and they have gone ahead.
“Onoto”…For the two…and on the two… oldest and most revered existing universities in the world, have beautifully showcased soul stirring nostalgia with their two pens. A tribute to OXBRIDGE culminating into a fountain of euphoria! …Kudos to Onoto! Cheers!
