Here are some shots of my new Bexley Elegancia in the Gold color, which joins my orange Simplicity II as my only Bexleys so far. The Simplicity's Med Schmidt nib writes very well, and am hoping for the same from the Elegancia's JoWo in Fine, although I have not inked the new pen yet. These photos are prett...

Here's a pair of my Cross Townsend Medalist FPs, made in the USA. I've not inked these yet, even though I've had them for more than 5 years. One's a Fine nib, and the other a Medium, made by whoever made the good nibs on the American-made pens. The Medalist Cross models are simple, but nice to look at. The ni...

I just saw "New Chilton" pens over at the FPH today! They look very nice, and I was looking to see if anyone knew anything more about these. I wonder who is making them now? Frank

I posted the question on the general questions.? I purchased this pen in 1993 from Bexley.? It is in the original wooden box and in excellent condition.? I collect watches, but have no idea where to find out if there is a market for my pen.? Any help?? Thanks! Tom Old Surf City, NC judgetlo@aol.com

Another Yellow Bexley had joined my collection, the 2008 Columbus Show limited edition FP. Larger in diameter than the normal Bexley's, it is quite comfortable in the hand (my big ones). Jack

The current range of Conklin Pens are now under the "Umbrella" of YAFA pens. I saw this first hand at the DC show back in the summer. Mr YAFA (Jerry Greenberg?) was there, and he was marketing Conklin products stating that YAFA had just acquired the rights to Conklin. I have a Conklin Antique...

I recently acquired an interesting prototype Bexley to add to my collection.? It's a yellow with black swirl prototype of the 2001 limited edition red/black ebonite EyeDropper FP that Bexley produced for the P.C.A. in an edition of 188 pens.? Enjoy looking. Jack ?
