A transplant from NYC--used to go to the folks at Art Brown's all the time...they are totally awsome and super nice...in fact they love talking to the novice pen freak...thought I'd find my second home at DC...granted all I needed were some converter pistons for my pens...still, too cool to talk pen, the dude was reading the freakin' paper instead...i've got to find another home :(

My cousin is a big pen collector and would take me to this store all the time. They have the most high quality selection of name brand and vintage pens I have seen. An amazing collection of both fountain and ink pens . They sell everything from Mont Blanc to Cross, to unique fountain pens. Recommended for any pen lover.

I have bought many pens over the years. The prices are reasonable and the knowledge is second to none. Sure there are places to buy for less but is it worth it?? No way the service and knowledge is priceless!!
