Pen Stores In The Washington, Dc Area?

Recommended Posts

I know of a few already, but wanted to see if anyone knows of any pen shops in the Washington, DC area (Montgomery County, Prince Georges County, Fairfax County, Arlington County).

 

The ones I know of are: Paradise Pens, Bertram's Inkwell, and Fahrney's Pens

 

Also, does anyone know of any places to find vintage fountain pens in this area?

I didn't know about Pen Haven. I'll have to take a ride to Kensington one weekend.

+2 on Pen Haven. As the previous poster noted, only open on the weekends, but still best to call in advance.

Tripple +++3 on Pen Haven in Kensington. Bert Heiserman is a fine gent!

 

(Right down the street is a great deli, called Suburban Trading Company. Stop there for lunch!)

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
