I recently joined the FPN and would like to attend T.O. meetups. Is there a schedule like the London folks have?

Sorry, a bit off topic, but do you all know about the Vintage Pen Sale at Wonder Pens in August that Liz is planning? 1 - 5 pm Sunday 16th August. Should be fun.

 

Has anyone heard about who will be selling at this ? Would love to see some vintage Montblanc and Pelikans ...

I just checked Wonder Pens blog https://wonderpens.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/vintage-pen-market/ and there aren't any updates on the vendors at their "informal and small Vintage Pen Market ... on Sunday, August 16th from 1-5pm. Seems they're keeping it quite casual.

 

Let me know if there ant T.O. meetups planned in the meantime.

 

 

KWZ Inks will be in DA HAUSE!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

 

Don't miss it guys...

I'm planning to arrive early in the aft. Any idea who the vendors will be?

 

Also, would it be possible to have a look at a few new Edisons in the store?

I attended the terrific Vintage Fountain Pen Market yesterday. https://wonderpens.wordpress.com/…/vintage-pen-market-how-i… Thanks for making it happen Wonder Pens!

 

I scored a 1930s Eclipse pen and pencil set from Jeffry and also handled a Marxton yellow pen for sale, both probably made in Toronto. The experience got me thinking about the century of Canadian writing instrument manufacture. As a new member of the f.p. community, I'm just learning about it myself.

 

At a time when users and collectors think nothing of importing pens from Taiwan, Japan, China, India, Pakistan, Europe or the US, isn’t it time to celebrate those makes which were produced for a century right here in Canada?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
