An email by Dick Egolf of Luxury brands seems to say that they are restructuring and several brands have been dropped.


ANyone heard more?

Luxury Brands was not actually a distributor. It was a "representative," charged with brand promotion. It did maintain some stock, but not in the normal sense of a distributor. As an authorized Conway Stewart retailer, we've always ordered directly from Conway Stewart.

So they represented but were not the distributor. Doesn't sound like the usual setup for pen companies but then again I don't usually deal with distributors except when I have pen issues.

Hi,

The status of the Conway Stewart brand within the US market remains unchanged.

The two contacts for our brand are Dick Egolf and myslef. Our contact details are given below:

If you are attending the Atlanta pen show, please come by and spend time at the Conway Stewart table. We will have our regular editions and several limited editions pen series on display. I am bringing our full range of nibs so you will be able to test-write our pens.

Total Office Products has arranged for the Sunday's grand prize to be our Centenary vermeil overlay listing at $1,800. We will also have a door prize for Saturday and Sunday -- our brand new, Nelson series fountain pens, with a list price of $575.

With kind regards,

Mary Burke

Hi John,

Yes, both Bill and myself have participated in several of their meetings. It is always great fun to spend time with pen collectors smile.gif

Kind regards,

Mary: My sister lives in Fayettville, Georgia, as does Truett Cathey, the founder of Chik Fil A. Had i found this forum earlier, I would have made plans to take my family to Atlanta and have my daughter drive over from Knoxville rather than have her come home for Spring Break. Oh well, maybe some other show. Wanna sign my name to an entry form in absentia? LOL

Then Dick really put out a confusing email as quoted:

QUOTE
We thank you for all of the loyal support that you have afforded our dealers in the past. As many of you know, we previously dropped Ancora. Conway Stewart, Kaweco, and Noodler’s Ink will be distributed by a new distribution company headed by Dick Egolf, who will also continue to play a roll in marketing the Bexley Brand.

I also got confused with that message. The key is the period after "Ancora".
