We're back from the Raleigh AKA Triangle Pen Show. Terry Mahorter always puts on a good, well organized show, and we've been there very year since 2006.

As always, we come back with some interesting pens. There are clients who start checking the pen sales page after we get back just to see what's listed. We also picked up a bunch of NOS pens from a local jeweler. Mostly Cross, but some nice sterling ones. The pens can be found starting on the main pen sales page and, from there, Cheapskate Alley.

Do take a moment to toddle over for a gander!

Nope, nope, nope, just spent $100 on a NOS parker 61 set.

 

You can't make me spend any more money.

 

YOU CAN'T.

 

Wait, you have one of my pens to restore right now.

 

 

Damn you Ron. If I had a more steady income right now I'd be all over that duofold jr or wahl ringtop.

Yeah, that Wahl ringtop sure is pretty, isn't it? But I'm in the same boat -- and going down to Virginia last weekend for my husband's and my anniversary was a little on the pricy side. Although if people haven't ever gone to Monticello, it's well-worth the "behind the scenes" tour.

Sigh. The Triangle show is roughly when my wedding anniversary is -- and is a fair hike from Pittsburgh; and DCSS is smack in the middle of my vacation (which isn't actually much of a vacation, any more -- but I have commitments at it). And a lot of the other shows are just too far away for me (I can use the excuse of visiting my mother-in-law to get to the Commonwealth Show, since that's only a one day show).

      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..

      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
