We've been working nonstop since before the Chicago show a couple of weeks back, so are particularly looking forward to this long holiday weekend and an opportunity to recharge.
Best wishes to all our pen friends -- we'll be back in the shop on Tuesday!
A blog about antique and vintage writing instruments: fountain pens, mechanical (propelling) pencils, dip pens, and more.

Back from Chicago
We bought quite a bit at the Chicago Pen Show this year, most notably dip pens and 19th-century pencils. It will be a while before it is all listed, but we should have a few goodies posted within the next few days.

Chicago Pen Show time!
We've closed up the shop for a few days to attend the Chicago Pen Show. We won't be exhibiting, but if you'll be around, do say hello.
We'll also be doing a bit of double duty, visiting the pipemakers' show the same weekend to show off our newly-made American Art Plastics ebonite and celluloid products.
Monday will be back to business as usual -- haven't decided yet what our next featured update theme will be. . . .
