I bought a starter pen for my daughter and a very generous seller GAVE my daughter a nice vintage pen for her learn to use.

 

I snagged a Parker 51 plum I have been searching for. Great show. Too bad I could only go on Sunday.

Those big bottles of ink were aweful tempting.

Below is a slideshow of some of the great pens and people from the show....

There was also a wonderful lady at the show who really knocked my socks off with her Spencerian penmanship.  Below is a video of her masterfully using one of our Richard Binder Flex Nibs.

Thanks!
