Pen Event May 5th and New Arrivals

On Wednesday, May 5th, 2010 from noon to 7pm we will host four manufacturer reps representing Delta, Dupont, Monteverde, Namiki/Pilot and Visconti. There will be special discounts offered and new models introduced.

We have just received our first shipment of the Pilot Fermo retractable fountain pens in black, blue, and silver. These operate with a twist of the tail rather than with a clicker like on the sister model Vanishing Point. The Fermo is also just a bit slimmer than the Vanishing Point, but features the same excellent nib/feed/converter.

Coming this week are the first samples of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Tiffany Pine Bough series as seen in Pen World, April 2010, page 32.

We're also expecting a number of new items from Cross including the Advantage Chrome/Mosaic, the Masquerade, the Sauvage Smoke/Stingray, and a variety of leather goods. Also, under the Franklin-Covey name, we'll have examples of the Melbourne, Nantucket, Harrisburg, Bristol, and Freemont, all priced between $7.99 and $14.99 and perfect for corporate gift giving and engraving.

We'll also be receiving some fabulous Iroshizuku bottled ink from Pilot in nine different colors.
