Recently another long-awaited OMAS Princess fountain pen joined my collection – a 1997 Arco Green Princess with gold-filled trim!

This is the fifth Princess in my collection, and the sixth OMAS celluloid I have had the pleasure of owning. The diminutive Princess and Dama models were released along with the Paragon as the Classic Celluloid Collection in 1991. The Princess is as beautifully made as the 1930s ring top models which preceded it, and there is nothing like it amongst modern OMAS offerings.

A 5-Piece Scarlet Red Classic Celluloid Set: Dama Ballpoint #C2811, Princess Ring Top Fountain Pen with Tassel #8141, The Paragon Fountain Pen #8711, Dama (Lady) Fountain Pen #8811, and The Paragon Rollerball #5711…

Hi Pen Fans.

Next week, I will be attending the Chicago Pen Show.

I’ll have my full inventory there, along with at least a prototype, if not a complete version for the new piston fIller.

Speaking of, the piston filler is scheduled to be in full production after May 11th.

And lastly, I’m taking a much needed vacation the week of May 4th…

Fountain pen

The Simplicity might just be one of Bexley’s best ever. And with four new colors, Simplicity II extends the appeal to two groups: those who like more traditional colors and those who like less traditional colors…

A few days ago, a big bag o’ pens came to the head of the queue. Jim, to whom the lot fell, dug through the bag and abstracted three, count ’em THREE, straight-cap Onotos. One was a virtual duplicate of the one in my collection, with an over-under feed.

Now this, you may or may not know, was the first pattern De La Rue produced, beginning in about 1906. But the primitive feed really doesn’t control flow very well, and in fairly short order Onoto the Pen began sporting a more ordinary underfeed, and the other two pens in that lot were of this variety…

Hi Pen Fans!

The Edison Pen Company is proud to now distribute Sailor Ink.

Ever since I started collecting and making pens, I’ve been on the search for my favorite ink.  My opinion is that hands down, Sailor is the best.

Of course, any ink can be used in my pens, but Sailor gets my endorsement.

I would encourage you to use this ink especially if you have an ink window pen of mine.  Some inks can stain an ink window, whearas Sailor will not (with the exception of the Nano Black)…
