PENS We take this opportunity to congratulate Peter and Janet Ford on their retirement from Melbourne Vintage Pens. Their presence in the pen world will be sorely missed and Peter's enthusiasm for the "chase" (of vintage product) will doubtless be translated to the golf course. Good luck and very best wishes to you both. In their "Goodbye" message, Peter and Janet say that the new "Melbourne Vintage Pens" will be the "best stocked pen repair centre in the Southern Hemisphere, and certainly the only such business in Australasia offering complex repairs". Meaning absolutely no disrespect to Peter and Janet, have a look at both our "Repairs" page and some of the links below. Where we don't have the parts, providing they can be made, we make them! MELBOURNE PEN SHOW 2011 The
Melbourne Pen Show was
held at Malvern Town Hall on Sunday 13 November 2011.
A great day for all concerned. See www.melbpenshow.com.au
PEN CAP REPAIR We recently undertook an interesting repair of an old Conway Stewart cap which most would have considered hopeless to repair or restore. The final result was very satisfying. Have a look at the process used. BELLIVER AND WORDSWORTH MODELS NOW AVAILABLE The
Belliver and Wordsworth models were both released late in 2010 as
limited editions. They are now part of Conway Stewart's core
range of pens for 2011. Images, details and colour choices
are
shown on our Conway Stewart pages.
THE BALMORAL Conway Stewart released its silver and resin, engraved Balmoral on 24 March 2011. Only 15 pens were available. All 15 sold out in less than five minutes! OUR VINTAGE STOCK Slowly, we are adding new, restored vintage stock. The process has been a little slower than expected due to a significant volume of repair and restoration work. NEW MINT RELEASES Have a look at some exciting new Mint condition releases on our Collectors' Specials page. A rare series of Montblanc offerings and some superb important Conway Stewarts which will never be made again! DIAMINE INKS We now have in addition to full stocks of 20 colours of Diamine Inks including 11 of those in cartridges, added "Syrah" to our range. See our Diamine Inks page for details. There are more colours coming - about 80 or so! |
