Federalist Pens Papers #32 (New Products!)
Posted by Frank Limper on
Still Online Only-Still Growing!
Greetings Pen Pals! It has been a tough year.. Covid19 is a concern, and we express our best wishes for everyone's health and safety! The last 2020 pen show to run (with no interruption) was the Long Island Show back in March, and all shows since then have been cancelled. The Detroit Pen Show is still on the schedule for November, but that looks unlikely given the situation. It is quite possible the first show back could be either Baltimore or Long Island in March(One Full Year!)!
Most stores/dealers have adapted. Online sales are growing! Many have looked to other sales sources (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc..) for new business. Many are still managing to grow/add products- Fed Pens is no exception! This year we have added Caran d'Ache, Mazzuoli (Back again in the US!), and my collaboration with Shaw Pens (Founding Fathers' BP Pens). We have added our own FP Nibs- some are custom ground by Nibgrinder (Mark B.)! We have added Paper/Journals from Leuchtturm1917, Nuuna, and Fiorentina Leather! Ink brands added include 3Oyster and Caran d'Ache! Don't forget my latest Rober Oster exclusive- "Frankly Fifth" (Celebrating Fed Pens 5th Anniversary!)!
I thank you for your patronage and business these past five years, and look forward to serving you in-person at an event in the future!
