My favorite fountain pen—an Aikin-Lambert pen my father-in-law gave me that, I believe, came from his grandfather. It has an inscription: “From employees to Harry Jacobs, 12-25-16.” That’s *1916.* It’s an eyedropper pen, and I don’t trust the seals, but it’s the coolest pen I have.

Probably cork seals, that are dried out by now

No, just vulcanized rubber. The screw makes a good seal, although it can sometimes fail from age-related shrinkage or cracks.
