    This year's Atlas Sidewalk Sale is almost upon us, Chicago area friends! I managed to signed up for a couple of seminars and a social, and looking forward to getting to join this year (last year didn't work out). In addition to looking forward to the classes, I hope to get some en...

    My bottle of Robert Oster Chicago ink in the ‘Cities of America’ series just came in this morning. The colour makes me think of it as a slightly darker and greener-leaning Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun, of which a 50ml bottle also arrived today in the same parcel; but this ink's flow is rather drier...

    Ab Conklin Chicago

    Martius posted a topic in USA - North America

    Hello everyone, Does anyone have any information about the AB Conklin brand? Though the nib is marked "Chicago," this pen and nib look like they predate the 1938 Chicago acquisition of the Conklin Pen Company of Toledo by quite a few years. I'm quite interested in the story of this pen, because it...

    Pelikan Nib Repair In Chicago?

    TravelCommons posted a topic in Repair Q&A

    I just received an M800 Fine from Cult Pens that has an awful rough spot. Before I go thru the hassle of sending back to the UK for an exchange, can anyone suggest a shop in the Chicago area that could fix the nib? I'd prefer to pay a nibmeister to smooth it out than trans Atlantic shipping. Thank...

    On August 26, 2019 this pen was pickpocketed out of my bag in a CTA bus. I've never been pickpocketed in Chicago so it comes as a shock to me but the pen was missing when I got home. Such a shame, it was one of the best pens I've handled and I even sold my other pens to fund this relatively big pu...

It's starting at the earlier-than-usual time of 1 pm, and will be at Reprise Coffee Roasters, 950 Green Bay Road, in Winnetka. Show, tell, buy, sell, trade or just chat. I'll have some new inks...

    Howdy, I have been a member since 2014, but just now read the rules for this site. I am a poet, composer, fiber artist, and former computer security geek. I love to write, and I love to write with fountain pens. I have been using cheap fountain pens since elementary school. But in the 1980's I dis...

    Chicago Is Closing Down Another Pen Shop

    GabrielleDuVent posted a topic in Market Watch

    Chicago has never been a too-friendly city for fountain pen users. Just this year (I think... I pass in front of it every day and my memory's non too clear), Glibertson & Clybourn sold its last pen and closed down permanently. Now, Paradise Pens in Oak Brook is closing. So any Chicagoans, get the...

    Hello again folks! Many thanks go to all of you who have taken my flex fountain pen survey. I've got some prototypes made, and some of them are about to go out to the 7 lucky people who took said survey! However, is anyone in Chicago by chance? I'm looking for some people to partake in a flex foun...

    My friend, an events planner, is about to lose her calligrapher to retirement! She is in need of an EXPERT calligrapher located in Chicago who can approximate several fonts (to match wedding invitations, etc.). She does a LOT of events so this could be a good gig for the right person. Pam Spitzner
