I'm so excited to be back in Little Rock for the Pen Show in March. It is great to see old friends (you know who you are) and make new friends. Perry will be there to help you with pen purchases and I look forward to making your un-writing pens write again. Stop by and say: "hi"

 

Regards,

I want to thank the organizers of the Arkansas Pens Show this year! It was a great show with lots of vendors (2 rooms) and seminars and attenders were a'plenty. The after party gatherings were a blast. As always, it was wonderful to see many old friends and meeting new ones. I was able to restore many pens and passed along more than a few to new appreciative owners. I even picked up a few nice pens for my pocket and look forward to putting them into my rotation.

Thank you for being there for repairs.

 

So, Danny, what did you pick up? What do you collect? I love the two Lady Sheaffer pens I bought from you.

[The Write Pen]

I brought home a Parker Maxima in golden pearl, a Senior Duofold (Big Red), some strange midsized pen with a huge Carter nib and my great find was a Morrison combo. Glad the Sheaffers found a loving home.
