Swisher Pens

[The Royal Pen]

The past week or so I haven't been able to access Swisherpens. Is there anything happening?

 

I need pen and ink!

Too bad -- loved that site. It has been messed up for a few weeks at least.

Sadly Swishers is now closed.

All companies dissolve eventually. Look at Lehman Brothers, since 1850. Gone. Of course the circumstances are different, but it's a whisper that everything passes.

Then there's J. Herbin, still going since 1670.

Although we miss Swishers, here are a couple of alternatives:

 

The Goulet Pen Company

ISellPens.com

 

And there are several more suggestions in this thread in the Chatter forum.

Oh I missed that bit of news! Oh well. Thanks for letting me know! I have a hard time finding people that offer cheap/inexpensive shipping to where I live, and Swisher's was one of them. Goulet Pens is another, too of course! But, that's it. Thanks!

I loved the way Swisher's was laid out. I bought my first bottle of Noodler's from there. Thanks for suggesting Goulet and Isellpens. They both look very nice. I'm impressed with their selections. I'll think of them next time I want some ink or pens.

Interesting I haven't been in contact with him since the 1980's, I bought two beautiful handmade Fountain pens from him, and was searching to see if there were any interest in them. I wish to sell them. They have not been used.

 

I'm attaching files so you can see.

 

Did he retire or pass away?

Welcome to FPN. Sales are only permitted in the Classifieds. You'll need to be a Gold member, which takes 30 days & 30 posts outside Chatter forum.

 

I don't recognize those pens, but someone is bound to be along soon who can give you more info.
