Are those fountain pens? I thought they were something else.

I think these are all ballpoint pens.

The top one is a fountain pen, a clone of the Pilot Vanishing Point. They’re clicky like a Bic, sorta, but the mechanism goes a lot farther, is more complicated, and has a little door to keep the ink from drying out.
