Thanks Mary, really looking forward to this!

Prizes eh? Can't not sign up with that kind of offer

I already receive your e-mail newsletter. Do I need to do something else or just stay on the list?

Dear Ms. Burke:

I signed up to receive your newsletter, and I look forward to entering the contest -- because, frankly, I can't imagine spending $500 for a pen.

Does Conway Stewart make any affordable pens? I do have a new "58" I purchased a few months ago on eBay, a ballpoint, for well under $100. It is a nice pen, certainly, but I can't imagine paying any more for it. Conway Stewart used to make "normal" pens. Do they currently?

Thank you.

Bradley,

I think you need to visit several of the nearby topics for a full discussion of this point!

See the recent Newsletter for prices! Fortunately for me the only pen I like is the cheapest on the page, but, like you, way above what I would like/be able to pay however delicious the nibs (which they are!).

There has been plenty said, the main point being, I think, that CS have found a more profitable niche producing collector's pens for high prices rather than 'useful' pens at affordable prices. Like you I would love to buy an affordable CS but, it seems, the volume production techniques required to keep the price down will be in China as opposed to Plymouth.

In the meantime you might enjoy the vintage scene where although gently rising, prices are accessible. Hand production techniques were a lot cheaper in those days.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your kind responses. I will gladly take your suggestions.
