Finding Fountain Pens in Unexpected Places

8/8/2018

Normally when I am looking for a fountain pen I head to Bromfield Pen Shop in Boston, my local pen group and/or a pen show.  Recently I’ve come across fountain pens in unexpected places.  During a recent stroll along Charles Street in the Beacon Hill section of Boston we came across a very nice shop selling stationary and cards amongst other things.  In need of a birthday card I started looking thru the selection when something caught my eye.  It was a small selection of Ooly fountain pens.  I had never heard of this brand and there they were in 3 colors – green, blue and red.  Each pen came with 3 cartridges that matched the color of the pen.  And the price - $5.95!  I bought a green one and have enjoyed writing with it ever since.  Earlier in the year I was in Logan airport waiting for a flight when I saw a very nice bookstore.  While looking thru the books I bumped into a Lamy display.  There were pens and pads at the display so you could try them yourself without needing help from anyone.  And hey, if you are about to board a plane and forgot to bring a fountain pen – a Lamy Safari makes a great companion.  Have you come across fountain pens in unexpected places?  Please do let me know.
Happy Collecting!
