Major Pen Droolage coming up
Nov. 2nd, 2008 01:07 amMy favorite pen store, Bittner, is my favorite because Bob just loves to talk pens to pen people. Sure, I love the other people there, too, but Bob sold me my first fountain pen.
Today, at one point, I think there was about a hundred grand in pens on the table in front of me, things I'd never seen up close anywhere and probably would never see in aggregation again (since stores, you know, sell things).
Pictures are from the place with the best photo, but if you really want 'em, Bittner's got 'em.
Montegrappa Luxor, both the solid gold and the sterling silver versions:

Namiki Catfish:

Namiki Seahorse:

Dupont Versailles:

Michel Perchin Serpent:

Michel Perchin Fleur de Lis:

Michel Perchin Imperial:

David Oscarson Harvest (an odd pen to show a celiac!):

David Oscarson Pierrot & Pierrette:

David Oscarson Celestial:

...and there were more, but my brain hurts just trying to consider them all.
