Bert's Corner

Aurora's Shop in Shop
The Largest in the Country!

We met at 7:00 a.m. on a Friday. The outside temperature was 7 degrees. The truck pulled up carrying four crates totalling almost 5000 lbs. Thinking it would be easy to operate a fork lift, I attempted to unload the crates myself, but quickly changed my mind and relinquished the controls to the truck driver.

It took four hours to unpack the crates that morning in the staging area, an empty space in the mall. As no construction is allowed during mall hours of operation, we had to wait until 9:30 p.m. to continue.


Ken's Pen Pick of The Month

Ken's Pick for June is the new Taccia Doric. This pen is a great value and includes a free leather case.

Pen Events

May was a fantastic month for events!

We traveled to Massachusettes for the Boston Pen Show. As always, it was a great show! We look forward to the day when the show moves back to Downtown Boston.

Back at home, we hosted an awesome Pen Fair! This event was attended by more pen company representatives and customers than ever before!

Coming up is fun in the sun with the Miami Pen Show returning to the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. This show is going to be as hot as Miami Beach!


Michael's Fat Boy Silencer II

Michael has done it again!

The Silencer II is the latest series in the Fat Boy Collection. The new Silencer II includes rubber gribs and is now available in gun metal gray!

These pens are solid, made in the U.S.A. and would make a great Father's Day gift.


The Pen Guru

Jim is our resident pen guru. Jim knows so much about pens he has even been an expert witness in a court case!

Each month we will feature a question and answer from Jim on pen care.

Q: How do I store a piston-fill fountain pen I may not use for a while?
A: The obvious answer is to completely clean and dry the pen so that no ink is present. When this is not possible, quickly clean the pen with cold water to remove as much ink as possible and then fill the pen with distilled water. This will prevent the piston from seizing when stored for long periods of time. This will also prevent having to send the pen in for repair and a complete strip-down.
