My friend and colleague, Rick Horne, has his new website up and running. I'm sure some of you already know Rick from meeting him at pen shows and by word of mouth, now he's making his foray into the world of pens in cyberspace! Rick is without a doubt, one of the premier pen repair people in the world, well respected by his customers and his peers in the pen community. Lots of nice old and new pens for sale. Honest person to do business with. Take a few moments to check out his new website: http://www.thesouthernscribe.com

The PCA 2001 Pen was designed to help celebrate the PCA's tenth anniversary. All proceeds from the sales of this pen go directly back into the PCA to fund ongoing projects and to help offset costs of publishing the PENnant, the PCA's award winning journal which is sent to members three times annually. The PCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting & preserving vintage fountain pens throughout the world. Our membership is 1800 strong.

The PCA, whose members primarily collect vintage pens, wanted to offer a pen that would be of similar design to a vintage pen and still have the convenience of today's modern pens. Thus, the taper cap design reminiscent of eyedropper filling pens from the early 1900s was chosen. As far as we know, there is no modern pen being made today that is of similar design.

If you have not, we hope you'll take a look at the PCA 2001 Pen manufactured for us by the Bexley Pen Company. Excellent photos taken by member, Bill Riepl can be seen at www.PenLovers.net in the Stylophiles online section.

The Pen Collectors of America 2001 Pen is limited to 188 pieces, each individually numbered. The pen is made of a brilliant red and black hard rubber and designed to be reminiscent of a turn of the century eyedropper pen. And indeed, the PCA pen can be used with the eyedropper included with it or filled by cartridge or convertor. Fitted with a solid 18KT two tone nib with a soft and responsive point - 4 nib sizes are available: fine, medium, broad and broad stub. Each pen comes with eyedropper, convertor and is housed in a custom box designed especially for the PCA. The pen is warranted by the Bexley Pen Company.

The PCA 2001 pen is $325, S&H via priority insured mail in the US is $10. We have received a partial shipment of the pens and shipping has begun. All pens are expected to be completed by the end of October.

Feel free to contact either myself or Dan Reppert (email: wasp1908@interl.net) for further information or to pre-reserve your pen. All orders should be accomapnied by check or money order in US dollars sent to:
