Welcome
|
As many of you know we have been closed for the past five months while I have been teaching and travelling abroad. I'm back, and I brought with me more than one hundred new pens. We now have our largest inventory of pens ever. To celebrate, we are re-opening with our biggest sale ever. For the rest of June and July there will be neither shipping nor handling charges on any pens shipped to the United States. Buyers outside the US will enjoy savings similar to those at home. Purchases over $400.00 will enjoy a 10% discount. Or if you buy two pens at any price, the pen of lesser value will be discounted 20%. Also, watch for our new specials of the week, marked by a gold star. These pens, often, but not always, premium or limited editions, will be at significant discount. But only for a week. The pen of your dreams may become more affordable, but only if you visit often.          | |
 We now have one pen available for late January delivery!! |
 Only one remaining. |
The first two batches of The PENguin pen are complete and have been shipped to their happy owners. We can still make two more lots. E-mail me if you are interested.
Last year was another record year for pen sales at The PENguin. As always, thank you!
As always, I will have pens that are not listed, so if you need something in our area of concentration and do not see it here, contact me. I can probably find it.
This year marks twenty-two years of pen collecting for me. I began with Sheaffers and Parkers and then looked to the classical "big four," of American pendom, Parker, Sheaffer, Watermans and Eversharp. In the mid-1990s, I decided to focus narrowly on Parkers. Then in 1997, I became interested in Pelikans. More recently I have added an interest in oversize German pens, modern Italian pens and a handful of the classical American greats. Today my collection is probably smaller than it was a decade ago, but far more coherent. For more see the About Me page.
If you wish to learn more about Pelikan pens please follow this link to the illustrated Pelikan History article I wrote for PenTrace.
The purpose of PENguin is to offer other collectors, and anyone else who is interested, first rate, fully restored pens to add to your collection or for daily use.
All pens offered here have been fully restored by me or by German craftsmen who I trust and are guaranteed to you for two years. (Please note that this guarantee is not transferrable.) I want you to be able to use or enjoy your pens as much as I do.
Once again, thanks for all the support.
