Giant Pen In Copenhagen

[jkrewalk]

My Brother in Law just returned from a visit to Copenhagen. He said he saw this giant pen on the side of a building there and immediately thought of me (knowing my love for Fountain Pens).

In doing some research on it to find out what it might be for (I couldn't imagine what it was doing there) I traced it to a store that sells pens in Copenhagen called "Stelling". However, I think this pen is on the other side of the actual store front? Not sure - Do any other members know anymore about what this could be???

The cost of stationery would be horrendous for that thing !!!!!!!!!Thanks

It's probably a button filler that can hold a growler of Noodler's

It's a duofold, so it should be a giant button filler

In Copenhagen . . . It could be a Penol.

I've been to Stelling many times. It's a nice office supply / art supply / stationary store with a back room dedicated to fountain pens, ballpoints, mechanical pencils and ink. They sell most modern brands, including a few European models which you won't find in most US B&M stores. The prices are OK and the service is good. They usually have a few vintage items in the showcase but they typically aren't for sale. I believe the owner is a collector.

 

The giant Duofold is on the outside of the building, near the back end of the store where the FP shop is.

 

Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Copenhagen.
