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 Also, as indicated previously some of the entries are out of date due to the deaths of some of the proprietors and subsequent store closings.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...).

If you are located in Australia there is a really good online shot called ink'd Pens. They have some good deals on and off, and they have a standing introductory offer of 5%.

Check out ink'd Pens at www.inkd-pens.com.au

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
