PIUMA Fountain Pen

With just over 20 days to go, the PIUMA Fountain Pen Kickstarter project has cracked the $45,000 mark, well over its funding goal of $10,000. It is a success by any measure, which is no surprise given the quality of the pen and the maker behind it.

Ensso built this fountain pen with simplicity in mind. Each of the three barrel materials - Matte Black Aluminum, Brass, and Titanium - show off this commitment. The sleek lines and tight tolerances make the PIUMA an excellent every day writer.

Starting at just $45, the PIUMA Fountain Pen is a great value, especially at 40% off its future retail price. The time to buy is now.

My thanks to Ensso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Vanness Pens

Do you know how many great items you can have engraved at Vanness Pens? They of course engrave pens - like favorites from Lamy, Pilot, and Retro 51 - but did you ever consider having a notebook engraved? Vanness Pens can do that too!

Engraved Ink Bottles are a favorite of mine as well. I have one sitting on my desk, and they are always a hit when I give them away. And speaking of giveaways, someone is winning the Retro 51 I posted Monday. And the winner is:

Congrats Tim! Get in touch via the Contact Page to arrange shipment of your pen.
