Just swung by Stylus Pen and Paper in U-Village. It's not there and there's no sign. Vanished in a puff without a squeek as far as I know. Anyone know what happened and if they had a sale or moved the stock elsewhere? Huge disappointment!

If anyone is passing through Bath, take a look in Papyrus. I visited the shop for the first time today looking for journals and found they had a stack of mint and near-mint boxed 51s and 61s. They also have a good selection of older Parkers back to the 20s and also sell new Waterman,Omas and...

Does anybody know of good sources for market information of fountain pens? Is it out there? Richard

Hello everyone, I just finished working on a John Holland Pen. I've heard that this pen is fairly rare. It is made of pyralin and has black end jewels. You can see pictures at www.pentrace.com under the message boards. My post is still somewhere on the first page. I also have a John Holland...

I'm new to this group and haven't searched archives and am not sure how to do that... but I'm sure this has been discussed before. I use a P51 Special that I've had since I was a kid, and was somewhat amused recently to learn that it's now an antique! Anyway, I'm considering the purchase of one of...

Does anyone know where I can buy an inkwell? Not an antique inkwell or an over-priced crystal thingie but a working inkwell for my desk. Many thanks. I am a fountain pen user, not a collector at all.

What would you do if the fountain pen you happened across was worth infinitely more than what you paid? Vote in the new survey at Rambling Snail. http://www.ramblingsnail.net/ ~The pen without the person does not exist. Best, Avery A. Hise

Hi all, I have recently purchased a Montblanc Chopin fountain pen. (It's my first 'fancy' fountain pen and I was unaware of MB's poor reputation among pen freaks at the time, so please keep any disparaging remarks to yourself.) The pen comes with a converter, inside of which is a little metal...

I purchased several new squeeze converters from a major on-line ink distributor. The appear just like the ones that came with my pens. The hole that the feed tube goes into, however is slightly smaller and the will not go on without great force and are difficult to remove. I don't recall a...

I have a bunch of these pen and a shortage of boxes as the pens and boxes came separate and I got more pens than boxes. So here's a couple of great no box pen deals!! These pens are BRAND NEW, never used, NO BOX and no converter. FREE Shipping too!! E-mail me if you'd like one or more or...

I've been in touch with Rick and he's alive and well, but in the midst of some rather serious website/email issues. Appears his server company was bought out and new server shut him down, no notice, nada, so took him a bit by surprise and has not been a joyful experience! He's working to get the...

Good Morning to All, Seems a new pen shop has popped up in my towne almost overnight, called "President Pen." Anyone with any knowledge of this name? Is this perhaps a chain? Well, the shoppe opens here today, and I'll be sure and check it out. From what I can see thru the windows it looks a little...

I have been using two Rotring Initials with the Broad nib and find I love everything about it, especially the heft and balance. (I have read postings by people who have said that as they get older they are preferring lighter pens claiming less hand fatigue). I am 54 years old and no fatigue (at...

We are looking forward to the Columbus show. Our table will have some pens that are bound to become quite sought after and, perhaps, even ra 1. The last Missoni celluloid (acetate) FILCAO Leaders: after this batch, they are gone forever, as this celluloid is no longer being made. 2. The last...

Getting conflicting info so... Can anyone tell me definitively that this ink is discontinued or not? Thanks, KCat

If someone does know of this person (he repairs & restores pens)....and could at least help me to find a way of contacting him (or even for him to just let me know that he's alive and kicking and still fixing pens.....mine hopefully, which I Fedex'd to him recently!!)....please let me know. I'm...

Hi all, I've two different montblanc rollerball refills black medium for my 163, but while one has the writing 212 the other has the number 307. They both fit perfectly inside the pen. What does these numbers mean? Thanks
