Seeking recommendations for horizontal wood pen stands

[southpaw]

Know of any good horizontal pen stands to sit on a desk, preferably holding 4-8 pens?

 

TIA, Michael

I was also wondering if the Levenger's single Animal penstands are just a modern thing, or are there a lot of old collectable pen stands.

Thanks. The Nakaya is along the lines of what I had in mind, just not anywhere close to that price range.

There are test-tube stands and pipe racks, but nicer stands are as follows.

Hi Fred,

 

Thanks for the great links. I've got one of Bill's revolving stands (and am a big fan of his work) and a 9 pen wood one similar to those in the first link. I'm looking for something that holds the pens horizontally as opposed to vertically, though.

 

Thanks again,

Michael

How does one contact Bill Jackman?

A different type of option to look at is something like a proper inkstand/desktop stand. This is my most recent acquisition for reference. It holds 14 pens (up to 5 5/8" long) using a gopens.com pen tray insert.

That is one beautiful inkstand. Would look good anywhere but especially on a big oak or mahogany writing desk.

 

I have an old knife marked F. Aldis Pimlico that my wife's mother gave me from I assume Norway where she grew up. I have never seen that makers mark anywhere else until this inkstand. I believe Plimico is an area of London which would make this British made?

This is what the antique dealer had relating to F. Aldis and his shop locations. I found several references to F. Aldis in context of knives, but not as much relating to woodworking.

 

A remarkably fine English desktop inkstand, signed on plate on the drawer F. Aldis. Mr. Aldis had several locations over decades. ( F. Aldis (Frederic Aldis): 10, 11, 12, 13 Belgrave Mansions, London – 61, 63, 65 Buckingham Palace Road, London – 3 Cheapside, London - Belgrave Gardens, Grosvenor Gardens, Pimlico (SW).Business established: 1852. )

Yes the company made "Barrel" knives which is what I have. Very old knife but apparently British manufactured me thinks. Regardless of location the F. Aldis company also apparently made wonderfully crafted, ornate InkStands. This one is a find for sure and the only one to meet the horizontal pen stands requirement. Congratulations and thanks for posting a photos of it!
