We are happy to announce that Bexley Pen Company, founded by Mr. Howard Levy in Columbus, Ohio, in 1993, is the newest fountain pen company that we will represent. After many years of wanting to carry Bexley, our new location has given us the chance. Our tiny old digs just did not have the space necessary for stock.


We are offering this Bexley owners club limited edition fountain pen along with the entire top end of the Bexley line. Click here to see them.


Our web site was running on an old navigation system and had become cumbersome. We streamlined the homepage so you won't have to scroll and scroll anymore. We also condensed the navigation bar. Don't worry, we didn't "throw out the baby with the bath water" - all the pages are still there! Simply put your mouse on the category of choice and the subcategories slide out. Click on any subcategory to get where you want to go. We think the navigation bar is more user-friendly and visually easier to manage.

Please give us your feedback.
