Auspicious Beginnings

Life is Too Short 

… to carry an Ugly Pen! This Retro 1951 slogan perfectly expresses the philosophy of this successful company.

There are capless rollerballs, fountain pens and pencils in an array of designs. 

We’ve missed you, Rotring

Technical drafters, artists, calligraphers and perfectionists in general, have all been asking: Where did Rotring go? Will Rotring ever be back? Where do I get Rotring refills? Well, Rotring has returned to the U.S. and in a big way. 

Simple Writing Pleasure 

Hermann and Wilhelm Schmidt founded this company to supply high-precision parts to the clock industry in the Black Forest of Germany.  In 1969, Rolf Schmidt took them in a technical direction, developing and supplying equipment for small tolerance manufacturing.  The pens, nibs and refills they have produced in the intervening years are utilized by many other pen manufacturers worldwide. All are offered here, directly from Schmidt. 

Mark of Excellence 

That small white dot on a Sheaffer pen clip has been their symbol of quality for over 100 years. Each collection bears this mark. If you check that Sheaffer fountain pen your grandfather gave you, it will have the white dot. Give the Sheaffer mark of excellence, to yourself or someone special in your life.

The ‘Super Light’

We love fountain pen writing. We want to be able to carry a fountain pen everywhere and we always want to have it at hand.  If a fine quality pen would fit comfortably into your pants pocket and safely store a large volume of ink – it would be known as ‘Superleggera’: Italian for super light. And that it is. Able to safely store a high capacity of ink due to exclusive seals, the Superleggera turns into a ‘full size’ pen when the cap is screwed onto its body. Presto! A fine quality writer right there in your pocket.

The Kit includes a cool metal case. In the foam lined case you’ll find the pen, an eye dropper for filling and two vials of starter ink. This crystal-clear demonstrator is available in extra fine, fine and medium. It is filled only with bottled ink. It’s even more cute than it appears. But don’t be fooled by its diminutive size as it’s a quality writer; ready anytime, anywhere.

It All Began With Pencils 

In 1913, Tombow began making wood cased lead and colored pencils in Shinshiro, Japan.  Over the past four decades they have diversified into making rollerball pens and pencils with cutting-edge technology and materials.  If you know someone with a Tombow rollerball or mechanical pencil, they will tell you all about their devotion to their Tombow.
