The annual Commonwealth Pen Show this past weekend at the Somerville Armory was packed with vintage pen fans!

In addition to seeing & buying pens, you could also bring malfunctioning pens to be fixed. This craftsman drilled and buffed nibs to cases!

I got so happy when I saw flavored cannolis. Alas, not pastry, but rather handcrafted pen holders/cleaners. Very pretty & classy, despite not being edible.

We were so happy to meet the wonderful Neil and Victoria Lander of Neil’s Pens! Longtime social media followers of mine! Follow him! ✒️✍️

Good morning, my friend! Sharing a #weekend #adventure w/you! Hubs is a lifelong #vintagepen collector. We went to the #CommonwealthPenShow Saturday for the 1st time! Gorgeous pens (I held a $30k sterling & crystal pen) and met a longtime social media friend! (clic on pics for more) Ink-credible!✍️✒️
