December Sponsor Spotlight

Platinum Prefounte, via JetPens

Sponsor support is very important to me here at The Pen Addict. My sidebar advertisers put their faith in me to deliver good value for them month in and month out, and I want to shine the light on the best of the best for you. If you are shopping for pens, paper, inks, and more, please check out these great companies and see what they have to offer. Some recent highlights:

Vanness Pens received the new colors of PenBBS Fountain Pen Ink, featuring new artwork, new packaging, and beautiful new shades of ink.

JetPens has the new Platinum Prefounte Fountain Pen in stock, and with its great style and excellent price point, it is a new best entry-level fountain pen contender.

Pen Chalet is in the midst of a big Year-End Blowout Sale, with low prices on products from Visconti, Pineider, Platinum, Lamy, and more.

Goldspot dropped the beautiful Christmas in NYC Retro 51, featuring a snowy downtown holiday theme that also glows in the dark.

Sunderland Machine Works MK1

My thanks to Sunderland Machine Works for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

The Sunderland Machine Works MK1 has made its triumphant return to a machined pen market that greatly benefits from its existence.

The design of the MK1 stands out for what you can’t see. Sure, it is fantastic on the outside and provides a comfortable writing experience. But, the engineering hidden under the grip section gives the MK1 a threadless appearance while still allowing the cap to screw on securely.

The cap also posts on the back of the pen without the use of threads, and the pen allows you to use any Pilot G2 compatible refill for a smooth writing experience. The anodized barrel colors are sharp and vibrant, making the MK1 a perfect gift for you, or any Pen Addict, this holiday season.
