General
Yes as in the writting instrument. Wow, ok so first we walk into a small dealers room. Every table seemed to be selling the same thing Parker 51 fountain pens. On the low end these cost $100 each. Then we started to notice pens that have custom styled bodies. These where very intercit designs. It was pretty cool.
We left that room and there were some merchants in the hall. This is when we found we had been in small room there were a lot more merchants with many more styles and makes of pens.
Talking with more people we learned about differnt types of nibs. One vender had a setup where you could used the 100+ pens, they kind of insisted on it.
So Starry and I tried a few of them out the vender talk wth us about them and talking about how she would use them. We really did not come to buy, really. Well she fell in love with a flexable nib pen from the late 20's. The vender gave Starrt a really good discount on it because she did a small art peice and was planning on using the pen for such.
We ended up joining the after show dinner and talked with the collecters for a bit :)
