Hi!

my father is going to Houston next week,

so i ask him to bring me a FP. Im doing some research and i think Dromgooles is the best place in HOU to buy.

 

I have trying to contact them via Email & facebook and nothing!

 

Is the place still open?

how are the prices?

 

Im looking for something like this

Pilot Custom 74 F

Platinum 3776 F

Sailor 1911M F

Sailor Sapporo F

 

Do they have TWSBI?

Do they have a nib meister?

Do they charge extra for tunning the nib of a purchased FP?

 

Thanks in advance.

Well, I go to Dromgoole's quite a bit, so I might be able to help with some of your questions:

 

They have Pilot and Platinum pens (I am pretty sure they have the Custom 74 demonstrators and the Platinum 3776s in black and some of the demonstrators, like the LE Shoji).

 

I don't know that they regularly carry Sailor, but I have seen one or two in their cases (not the full line).

 

They do not carry TWSBI pens.

 

They have a nib tech (Steve is his name) who comes in on Saturdays. I think if you purchase the pen from them, the adjustment of a nib is free (not super sure on that, though).

 

If you can, give them a call - I don't know if they are really active online. I really like the shop; they are very friendly and helpful every time I go in, even if I am only purchasing ink.

 

Here's their contact page (phone number is sorta down the list): http://dromgooles.squarespace.com/contact/

Dromgoole's is the place in Houston for your fountain pen needs.

 

Larry Dromgoole carries a wide selection of pens there, including Pilot, Platinum, and some Sailor; he carries inks of just about every kind; Rhodia, Quo Vadis, Moleskine journals and tablets and other types of fine paper products; and Stephen Pustilnik, MD, Chief Medical Examiner of Galveston County, Texas, is "The Pen Doctor," a great guy and superb pen technician, who is there just about every Saturday.

 

His website is just getting online but here's the link:
