The PENguin Blog

         We have just returned from the Chicago Pen Show with a full inventory of our stock-in-trade Pelikan 140s, 400s and other models as well handful of special items to post on the website. These, alongside some long overdue updates, means that we have an extraordinary inventory of vintage and new Pelikans. Whether you are looking for a good gift pen for that June dad or grad or something special for your own collection, we have it. Come see.  Among our more notable recent acquisitions are two early 14 Karat gold Pelikans, a blue 140, a green/green 400NN, a burgundy M600 and the highly sought after tortoise M800. You want them? We got ‘em! Coming soon some interesting other pens including Parkers, some OMAS and a selection of pens from my own collection. Stay tuned!

I go to pen shows to see friends, buy pens for both  the penguin  and myself, and to sell pens, in that order. I have just returned from the Chicago Pen Show where I was successful in all regards. What I got for myself were two oversize Italian Williamson pens. I previously had the black set, the blue and the red. I added the silver and the brown. Now all I need is the elusive lizard. Then, on top of that I was able to get one of my grails, an olive ripple Waterman's. It is a set, the 94 and matching pencil. That's why you go to a pen show!
