Give your sweetie a sweet Sheaffer pen this Valentine's Day... How about a compact Agio? http://www.PenHero.com/PenSale/SheafferStore/Pics/SheafferAgioCompactCran.jpg Or a Prelude that can change its color like a...

About 10 years ago I started this news group. I haven't looked at news groups for years and decided to see if this group was still going - what with the Zoss list and other alternatives. Glad to see the group is still here and there are some posts!

I have a set of glass pens which I am trying to learn how to use. As I look at the pens for sale, I notice that they seem to have grooves in spiral pattern. Mine are straight grooves for the ink. I have a problem with ink flowing too quickly at first, and I don't know how long such a pen is...

Hello. I am new to the group, as well as to writing with my glass pen. I was just wondering if any of the seasones veterans would share their tips and experiences with me about their proper usage and any needed maintenance. I also have a question, if anyone should know the answer: Is...

I reccently acquired a lot of 50 (one for each state) mechanical pencils in a vintage pen briefcase and one of them may have been a personal signature pencil of the person who put the collection togwther. It reads GLEN ROBLEY Pencil Collector Lyons, Nebraska It also has a red CONOCO logo on...

I've decided to close down the Pen Domain site. Everything we have left is clearance priced. Quantities, except for ink and refils, are one. Fred Pen Domain http://www.pendomain.com

I've got a Gold Bond combo that has a strange filling system. It has an aluminum button and I thought it would be a straightforward button filler. But it's not. Doesn't seem to take a sac. There is an air tube attached to the feed . The section is hard rubber and screws on to the barrel. The nib is...

I'm new to even thinking about buying a "good" writing pen. But, I came across a sale at a local shop on Signature Series Cross Pens. 1/2 price. The pens look very nice. Some lapis, other things like mother of pearl. Are these pens nice from a colletor's perspective? Thanks in advance, David

Hey All, I've heard great things about 'Scaupaug' in this newsgroup, but I understand from what I've read here that's he is rather busy right now. Can someone recommend (another) reliable dealer for restored Sheaffer Touchdown pens that doesn't charge an arm and a leg? I'm primarily looking for...

I have some really good deals on E-bay right now. Some pens and a few display items are still at $1.00. Great Waterman display and a very nice Sheaffer desk base still at $1.00. Bunch of other good pen deals on Waterman, Cartier, Aurora, Bexley, Faber-Castell, etc. Check them out...

Just thought I'd post a little positive feedback: I dropped my Pelikan M805 a short distance (in severe cold) about a month ago and it snapped in half. Happily, though, I called Chartpak about the possibility of a repair explaining that it was not due to a defect. I mailed it to them and they...

What should my short-list be? Also am I missing some really really good pen at only a fraction above my budget? Might get Santa to get me a nice fountain pen.

I got a call today and I'm leaving for Charleston Sunday. I may be there for 10 days. Anyone know if there any good Fountain Pen sources new or used in the area? Thanks

Hi, I have a rather wet-flowing Montblanc 146. I've tried Quink blue-black, but it's too wet (spreads more than MB blue and also bleeds through decent paper). MB blue works pretty well in it, although it seems that after the pen has been inked up for a couple of weeks with use every other day or...

Hi All; I was reading through the pop survey in June of 2004. What caught my attention was the number of pens and the exact ink each had in it for peoples pen rotation. Do pen people keep logs of pens with which ink and on what type of paper, or unlike me do pen people just have good memories? ...

On Sunday, I happened to drip some Baystate Blue into the sink while accidentally overfilling a cartridge. Being more interested in my pen (i.e. lazy), I didn't clean the sink. Yesterday, it seemed to me that the splotch of BSB in the sink was lighter than before. As a result, I filled the...

i like pulot vball cause it has rounded edges it helps it slide into my anus. but thicker pens are good as well, but they need to be smooth. any recommendations?

Can you tell me some good European mail order companies and online stores selling pencils? They must be selling abroad, too. For example Staples of UK is not option because they sell only to the UK. I am especially interested in these products: - Dixon Ticonderoga Classic - California Republic...

I had three Frontier FPs, one red body, one green/black body, one blue/black body, that were in the case of my laptop that was recently stolen. After a period of raging and mourning, I am going about replacing my lost "stuff". But I cannot find a good place to buy these pens. Parker's websites...
