The Back Room-Expanded

[writepen]

Hello Fellow Members!

World-Famous Fountain Pen Hospital in New York City, the Leader in fountain pen sales and service since 1946, has once again created a new experience for their customers. And if you have shopped in the FPH online Back Room, you know what I mean, and now the incredible pens and prices are available at the new, in-store Back Room. So If you are visiting New York City, have great fun with a memorable adventure at FPH, and see the Back Room in person. I can't wait for my return trip to their store--they treat you like royalty!

OOOOOH! Thanks for the heads up!

I try to get there at least once a year, just to poke around. I've never actually bought any pens there, but I get ink, and a couple of Christmases ago got a copy of the Parker Vacumatic Book, and this last time finally scored a couple of Esterbrook 9xxx nib units that I'd been wanting (not super cheap, but less expensive than what I had been seeing them running on eBay).

FPH is a world class shop and fun-central for fountain pen aficionados.

 

Only at a brick and mortar store like FPH can you try out nibs before you buy them.

 

Worth a visit for any travelers passing through or visiting NYC.

Hi! There are some great deals in the FPH Back Room. Each pen has a condition listed. In recommend that you stick with these 3...mint/new, or virtually mint, or near mint. Those are the specific wordings used to describe the pens. Most fall into these 3 categories, but some do not and I would not take a chance.

Agree! There is nothing like the experience of a "road test", in-person, in the hand, before purchasing.
