Any good pen shops in Buenos Aires?

[skeezicks]

Hello, FPNers: My family and I will be spending around two weeks in Argentina on vacation, and I was wondering if there were any worthwhile pen shops down that-a-way. BA has a number of interesting antique shops, so I'll surely visit those, but I'd love to hear of anyone's experience with stores which specialize in writing instruments.

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'd like to know, too. My wife and I are leaving on Tuesday for two weeks in BA and would certainly like to find some good vintage or modern pens. Jack

Look in http://www.puntoart.net/utilidades/donde_comprar.html

La Estilográfica and La Lapicera, are very good places to buy fine fountain pens. Garabatto is other with several shops in different places.

Good luck!

I know if I was going to BA, I'd pay money to Ariel Kullock for a special behind the scenes tour

of his place and especially all the original Parker goodies he has.

Besides "La Casa de la Estilografica" y "La Casa de la Lapicera" i recommend two with more second hand and rare pens: Antigua Casa Pintos, in Avenida de Mayo 738, few block from Plaza de Mayo, and "Service Martin", in Parana 588, 2 blocks from Tribunales Plaza, and few blocks from Corrientes and Av. 9 de Julio.
