Great work, though the link seems to be broken and needs to be update if possible. I managed by googling "penshops info" and it is the first search result.

Taking a look at the website, the shop just north of Indianapolis and the one in Columbus, OH are both permanently closed

Apologies for creating more work for somebody, but here is what I did today:

 

Tried the link to the list of pen shops shown in the original post of this (pinned) thread.... it gives a 404 site unobtainable error. That is because the original URL was an http://..... site, but the current pen shops index site is an https://..... site. The OP in this thread needs editing, plus any other references to the old URL.

 

Did not see my local pen shop on the map. ( The Writing Desk, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, UK. ) So I added that shop to the directory (as a guest), copying and pasting from the shop's website. Hit Save..... And the shop's listing duly appeared on screen, but with a USA address in the information! I have no way to edit that glitch.

 

Tried a search in the directory by the shop name, and found "The Writing Desk" shop had already been entered, in 2009, but with no location or contact information. No evidence seen of any of the information that I had just entered, and no pin appearing on the map view.

 

So that's a bit of a mess 🤔.

Мне нравится эта идея. Я только что добавил наш интернет-магазин. Спасибо!

If anyone knows how to contact the administrator of the pen shop directory, please do so as it had been trashed with questionable non pen related content. Also, as indicated previously some of the entries are out of date due to the deaths of some of the proprietors and subsequent store closings.

Our best bet is to add pen shops we know by adding their websites to that list.

 

The original poster might not own the website anymore, since it seems to have errors or junk links added to it.

 

Tonite, on the French International TV, TV 5 Monde at 8/9 central, there is a segment on a show about a stationary shop in Paris.

It is functionally a time capsule of largely defunct pen stores with a few survivors thrown in. Actually a little sad, but interesting. Some of the stores I knew, some I aspired told visit once I retired and could travel more. I have now been retired three years next month and while having traveled a bit, including to four pens shows,  alas to no pen shops as most are now long gone. My metro area used to have two dedicated pen shops a pen manufacturer with an outlet and a very good stationary store with a decent pen selection and very good ink and paper. Even at one point two department stores with pen counters, and at least three office supply stores with some fountain pens, some ink and good paper. Now, none.

Hello,

I started a few months ago a fountain pen webshop and I am located in Belgium: Pendora Fountain Pens

our goal is to offer known brands and less know brands.

Still adding new products every day, so not everything is online.

Also expanding my stock. 
 

Pendora is the first EU-shop that sells Anderillium Inks and proud of it!

Also Tomoe River notebooks, Endless and (they are inbound) Cosmo Air and Bank paper of Yamamoto Paper.


And now I need your help.

Do you want and use Dingbat Notebooks? As we offer Endless and Tomoe River paper and Cosmo Air (inbound)

 

thanks for the help and hope to see you in my webshop as a customer. 😉

 

Roelof

Owner of Pendora

While not part of the EU, the UK, where on can find Anderillium inks, is still in Europe.  No doubt to the chagrin of various parties

 

Good luck with your new venture.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Hmmm.  I wonder, since the date is 2017, just how up to date that website is (I wasn't able to access the data without setting up an account...).

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
