* For the TRULY vintage dad: Check out our Pre-owned Pens for sale! Scroll down to filter by Manufacture Date, and find pens from your favorite decade. In this business, we are fortunate to discover many remarkable and unique pens that are irreplaceable pieces of history. We love fixing them up and sending them home with people who will appreciate them.

For the Connoisseur Dad:

Some connoisseurs appreciate fountain pens for their style and artistry; others appreciate them for their history and tradition. Others appreciate their feel in the hand, and the quality of line a truly excellent pen can produce.  And still others simply appreciate a well-engineered, hard-working tool. The pens in this collection, besides being superlative writing instruments, also exemplify other special qualities of fountain pens: their artistry, or their history, or their engineering (or all three at once).
