Fountain Pen Club In Nyc


C-InPenmanship

Recommended Posts

There is a get-together of fountain pen enthusiasts in NYC this & every last Saturday of the month at 6PM at a store called "Goods for the Study" in SOHO at 234 Mulberry St. New York, NY. Their phone number is (212)219-2789. Sorry for the late notice this month but hopefully someone will be interested next month. Today will be the first time I'm going & I'm a little intimidated that everyone there will have collector's pieces & I don't. Wish me luck!

Why not come join us in the Big Apple Pen Club?

 

I've never heard of a pen club that meets on Mulberry Street, but I guarantee that the BAPC is a bunch of pen fans, and not collectors. We are accumulators, including a few who repair and re-sell pens, and Josh Lax, who is a nib specialist.

From Tim Ettenheim:

Friends,

July 4 was yesterday, so today is July's first Thursday, that means next Thursday, July 11, is Big Apple Pen Club meeting night!

As usual, we will meet from 7-9 at Bard Hall, just west of Columbus Circle. Bring your pens, bring your inks, bring your paper, bring your supper if you want... Directions to Bard Hall are below.

Hope to see you next Thursday evening!

Tim

Directions:

Bard Hall, the residential building for Bard Graduate Center, is located at 410 West 58th Street in Manhattan, just west of 9th Avenue/Columbus Avenue. The best way to get there from almost anywhere in NYC is via subway -- take the 1/A/C/B/D trains to 59th Street/Columbus Circle (note: 2/3 trains do not stop at 59th, even though it is a major intersection). Depending on which subway exit stair you use, put Central Park behind you and walk around the southern (left) side of the Time Warner complex, which is 58th Street. Walk west on 58th (against traffic); 9th Avenue/Columbus is the next intersection west. Bard Hall is diagonally across the intersection and three addresses downhill on 58th at 410, immediately past the small construction site. Please tell the guard you are there for the Pen Club -- you will be expected and directed to the proper room. Feel free to bring any food and drink with you.

Wondering how this event went (as we approach the last Saturday in July).

      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
