Limited Edition Silver Sheaffer Centennial Fountain Pen
For Sheaffer’s centenary, two exquisite limited edition Sheaffer Centennial fountain pens were released in 2013. One available in solid 18k gold and the other in solid silver (imaged above). The Sheaffer Pen Company now has a rich one hundred year history (1913 – 2013), and with the issue of these limited edition pens celebrates 100 years of writing instrument innovation and progress.
We have two examples of the limited edition silver Sheaffer Centennial fountain pens on special offer, and anticipate Sheaffer’s next 100 years and continued success.
Pelikan M805 Demonstrator
Penbox are now waiting for delivery of the much anticipated new Pelikan M805 Demonstrator fountain pens. Two versions of the pen are being produced, one being all clear and the other with engraving to illustrate the mechanism and features of the pen. Delivery of the first pens to the shop is forecast for April, and following the success of the M800 Demonstrator released in 2008, we expect this pen to be well received. Being a special edition, numbers will be limited.
Parker Pen Museum Opens in London
On Friday the 23rd of January Penbox were delighted to attended the official opening of the all new private Parker Pen Museum at Colet Court, Hammersmith Road, London. Officially opened by Geoffrey Parker, the great grandson of George Parker, the museum illustrates, “The Parker story so far.” We also understand that a Parker archive will be housed at the same location and that material previously stored at Newhaven has now been archived at the new London museum.
Geoffrey Parker, who plays an important role in conserving the family’s appetite for innovation and craftsmanship, said, “The opening of the Parker Museum marks a very proud moment for me. The moments and stories illustrated in the museum really showcase the brand’s great accomplishments and reflect Parker’s strong heritage and values. My family have been collecting artefacts since the business launched in 1888, and so it is a real joy to share so many so them today, alongside the brand’s archives.”
The new Parker pen museum and brand archive illustrates that Parker are committed to preserving their collections and artefacts for future generations. On display are key pens, artefacts and collections, that illustrate how the Parker brand has continued to shape the history of fine writing. Visiting is by arrangement only.
