Boston Pen Show

[RonLyke]

I noticed that the Boston Pen Show is not listed on the calendar of events. Is it still on? Should I be nervous about driving 4 hours? Is it a big show?

 

Thanks

It's still on as far as I know. The website is here:

No personal experience here but looks to be one of the smaller shows. Guess I'll find out this weekend.

Is small but is a nice show. Last year my dear friend who attended with his gorgeous little one brought me the Noodle's Music nib... personally set by Nathan on one of his Neponset.

 

I remember they both (daddy and daughter) had a blast..

Let me tell you if Pier Gustafson is involved (he is) then it is a show NOT to miss.

Used to be a monster show back in the day of Dubiel, MacNamara, Hansen, Markman, Gustafson and a host of others from the original Commonwealth Pen Club.

Point is it's a pen show if you are in range, get thee there

It got renamed Commonwealth Pen Show, and is this weekend.

I thought I would have a chance to go to it but circumstances decided to intrude.

Thanks, everyone--I'm on my way.

Had a good time at the show with the little one. Was fun to see her want to practice her handwriting, and then try doing a caricature of me like the one done of her...

It was my first pen show and I liked it a lot. The best part was that most of the vendors were friendly and offered a lot of information about pens. I learned a lot there because most of them were like most people here, ready and willing to help. And I bought my first Parker Vacumatic! I hope a bunch of you from the area got to go.

Glad you folks had fun. I'm bummed because I missed it, but there's always next year, I guess.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first show. Bought several pens, including a beautiful Pelikan. I even confirmed that the filler mechanism worked properly, by spewing ink all over the dealer's table. I don't know his name (his name tag was turned around) but he knows who he is. Thanks--it's a nice pen with a beautiful nib!
