Andy's Pens
News:
 We have just managed to secure another batch of
the Sheaffer Agio Titanium Oxide, or Rainbow pens, which we can
offer at considerable discount.These
pens were discontinued some time ago, but I have managed to
find a small number of the fountain pen and the ballpoint pens.
This is a very shiny finish in a rainbow of ever-shifting
colours. We have the fountain pen from £50.00 to £30.00 and the
ballpoint from £40.00 to £22.00. If you would like the fountain
pen ballpoint set, then we can supply that for £50.00. Of
course, the small number we have will not last long, and once
they are gone, they are gone. See the entire Sheaffer Agio
range here.

 1st September 2010:
Andy's Pens present Varuna Fountain Pens from
India! These pens are simply the finest quality Indian
ebonite fountain pens that we have found and we are
very pleased to be able to offer them to our customers.
Andy's Pens is the exclusive UK and European seller of
Varuna Fountain Pens. Varuna Pens are not mass
produced. They are made one pen at a time by hand. The
fit of these pens could only be achieved by master
craftsmen. They have a vintage look and feel to them,
but have the advantage of modern feed systems and moden
Indian-made Wality gold plated nibs in a fine point.
Because they are all hand-turned on a manual lathe, the
pens are not totally uniform as most mass-produced pens
are. Your pen, if it is in a mottled colour, will have
a unique pattern in the ebonite. It will probably not
be exactly the same length or diameter as the next pen
to be produced, and there may be a slight
inconsistencies in the finish of the ebonite. These are
rustic pens, but you will also be able to admire the
superb fit, and the lovely smooth Wality nib.

 4th August 2010: Conway
Stewart have just announced their new Limited Edition
pen for August 2010. The Heritage Collection is
Conway Stewart's celebration of timeless and classic
models. Our Award Winning Duro model launched the
Heritage Collection and was followed by the Award
Winning Dandy Heritage. The latest monthly Special
Limited Edition from Conway Stewart is the Nelson
Heritage, bringing a refined combination of elegant
shape, subtle engraving and stunning colour choice
together in a symphony of visual appeal that truly
rises above the sum of its parts.
Considered simply as a writing instrument, the Nelson
Heritage will be an instant favourite, with every
aspect of the shape and weight designed to make writing
a pleasure.
From a design standpoint, the most prominent feature is
obviously the engraving covering both cap and barrel.
Or on the other hand, it might just be the striking
colour! Both combine to make this monthly Special
Limited Edition a real standout, and were the result of
much deliberation amongst the design team at Conway
Stewart. The goal from the beginning was to arrive at a
design that stood out, but which was also tasteful and
elegant. Rather than simply rely upon a bold colour,
the design team strove to locate a middle ground that
brought together new materials and mixed them with an
understated engraving pattern on the cap and barrel.
The engraving pattern consists of interlocking
diamonds, drawing upon the traditional Conway Stewart
logo shape, running along the full length of both cap
and barrel. To allow the focus of this design to be the
combination of material and engraving, there is no cap
band, leaving nothing to break the flow of the
engraving.
Available to order now until September 06, 2010 -
orders will be fulfilled on a first come first served
basis. No orders will be accepted after this date. This
colour will not be repeated on this model thereafter
and will not be available as a bespoke pen.

 2nd August 2010: I now
have stock of the black leather Onoto pen cases. A
high quality leather pen case that is large enoth to
house all the Onoto pens apart from the extra-long
ones. It is also large enough to comfortably house
nearly all the pens I have listed on my website. Most
pens up to 18mm in diameter and 150mm long when capped
will fit into this pentube. The outer is made from a
lovely shiny lether with the Onoto name embossed on the
end of the lid. It is lined with a soft flocked
material.

23rd July 2010: I will
soon be selling a range of ebonite eyedropper pens from
Varuna. Varuna pens are all hand made in India, and
are probably the best quality Indian eyedropper pens in
production today. I am in the process of photographing
and preparing my first batch of these pens for my
website, but if you have any questions in the mean time
please e-mail or phone me and I will do my best to
answer them.

 23rd July 2010: We have
just got a selection of ink and watercolour original
artwork from a local artist. We are very pleased to
get these beautiful pictures, and being pen and ink
with watercolour, they fit in very well with the "pens"
theme. Please click on the thumbnail to the left for
more information on the artist, Maggie Clark.
