Hi gang,

 

Some of you may know me as Bonhams Auctioneers penman-in-chief. Well, Bonhams is no longer selling pens, and now I'm Director of Pens and Comics for PBA Galleries in San Francisco. Our debut Fine Pens sale will be held on July 19th. We're seeking consignments! Please contact me if you have anything you'd like to add to our auction, or if you'd like to request a catalogue.

 

If you have friends with pens they might care to consign, refer them to me and PBA will give you a referral fee.

 

Here's an esoteric lot you'll find in our July sale: a rare Montblanc architect's pen, c.1925. The sale will feature a number of other early Montblancs, as well as Parkers, Watermans, Namikis, and lots of other nifty pens.

 

Cheers,

 

Ivan

Ooh! Very exciting. How can I get a catalogue? If I am in the city on July 19th I will certainly be there.

Hi Shaporama,

 

If you PM me or email me (ivan@pbagalleries.com) and let me know your email or mailing address, I'll add you to the catalogue list. Thanks for your interest!

 

Here's another tasty tidbit, a Parker No. 47 Lucky Curve fountain pen with alternating abalone and mother-of-pearl panels, c.1906, known to us pen peeps as the "Pregnant Parker," due to the graceful curvature of the barrel. As an online pen pal postulated, "it's all fun and games until she has a litter of ballpoints"...

Hi Roger,

 

Most domestic postcard recipients will receive a copy of the first catalogue, but due to high production and shipping costs, overseas clients must pay $30 for a print catalogue. Upon request we will email a link to the online catalogue. Subsequent catalogues will be sent gratis to registrants and bidders in the July sale...

 

Cheers, Ivan

      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
