Acme Dracula Arrives at Scottsdale Pen

Just in time for that spooky time of year, the Acme Studio has released the limited edition Dracula fountain pen and rollerball set in honor of the 100th anniversary of the death of Bram Stoker. Only 999 pieces will be available worldwide.

The Acme Studio Dracula arrives in an elaborate package resembling an over-sized book. When you open the cover of the book you are greeted with the theme from Bach's Toccata and Fugue as you view Dracula's black coffin. Inside the coffin you will find what you seek.

A bottle of blood, oops, sorry, red ink is included. You're going to love this pen!

Lamy 2000 Brushed Stainless at Scottsdale Pen

The Lamy 2000 is a classic design in the pen industry dating to the mid-1960's. The series has achieved worldwide acclaim for it's minimalist design with superb form and function.

Well, you retain all of the original features but create a new body to house them. Instead of fiberglass reinforced nylon, use brushed stainless steel. Now you have a pen that writes and fills the same way, but rather than being super lightweight, you have a pen with heft.

The Lamy 2000 Brushed Stainless Steel Collection is a modern masterpiece, built to endure and perform for a lifetime.
