What pens and/or pen paraphernalia did Santa leave in your stocking this past Christmas? Did you treat yourself to something this holiday season? I am curious. The month of December is a busy one for us with a trip to New York City to check out the lights and decorations. OK, my ulterior motive is to visit the Fountain Pen Hospital which is located downtown not too far from city hall. They have a lovely selection of vintage pens and it’s always exciting to pour over the case! I picked up a Parker Duofold Junior in jade green which is a wonderful writer! My birthday is also in December and my wife gave me a beautiful Parker permanite, another great writer. On Christmas morning there were 2 small boxes under the tree with my name on them. One box contained an aerometric Parker 51 in teal and the other a Wahl Eversharp Skyline in navy blue. Wow! Santa, aka my wife, was generous! Now, if you add in a couple of vintage Sheaffer sets I bought from Gary Lehrer when his December catalogue came out – it was quite a month! Enough about what I received and/or bought – what did you acquire over the holidays? Please share.
