Vintage Fountain Pens Inc

Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. (VFPI) was established under its former name, Vintage Fountain Pens, in 1976.

Our primary aim is to provide vintage fountain pens and related writing accessories such as ink bottles, advertisements and desk items. Fountain pens, unless stated otherwise, are restored and ready for use today. This is not necessarily a site for those looking for new pens or mint vintage pens, although these may be available from time to time. Vintage fountain pens are by their very nature second, third or even fourth hand, condition will vary and this is reflected in the price.

Spotlight on: Dog Perpetual Desk Calendar

Dog Perpetual Desk Calendar

Click for a larger version of this picture.

This charming perpetual desk calendar was made in England, probably late 30’s early 40’s. The frame is made of bakelite, which is an early form of plastic. The method of changing the date is the easiest I have come across. There are four knobs on the reverse. One controls the day, one the month, one the tens and one the units. All are in working order. There is a folding metal stand attached to the reverse to keep it upright but it closes down, presumable for ease of packing. The picture on the front (which is protected by glass) is of two delightful dogs awaiting their walk. The date panel has the following text “Green & Marsh Ltd., 2 Burton St., Bath. Your Music Shop. Tel. Bath 4835” It measures 17.5cm high by 12.5cm wide. It is an unusual perpetual calendar in full working order and good condition which would grace any desk or hall table.

I am a fountain pen and writing equipment collector and dealer. If you would like to meet other enthusiastic collectors of pens and writing equipment why not join the Writing Equipment Society?

Here is a little information about how this site works:

The Make me an Offer section provides the opportunity to purchase unrestored vintage pens, collectors items or more modern items not found elsewhere on the site. These are available on a best price basis, provided they meet the reserve.

The Vintage Pens section initially shows all the pens currently in stock, displayed in a random order, over several pages. Clicking on the link below the pen illustration will reveal other pens available from the same manufacturer. An alternative method of finding a particular pen is to use the Search Catalogue section.

The Accessories section shows all the accessories currently in stock or, as with the Pens list, you can search for particular items such as ink bottles, advertisements etc. by using Search Catalogue.

When you have found something you wish to buy, then click on the 'add to basket' icon . You may continue shopping and add more items to your basket. When you have completed shopping then click on the 'Check out' button in the right margin to pay for your purchases. (NB: this button only appears when you have items in your basket. We use 'cookies' to record the contents of your basket. If your browser has cookies turned off then you will not be able to add items to your basket.)

The Restoration section provides information on fountain pen restoration. VFPI has been restoring pens since 1976.

I hope you enjoy your shopping experience. Feedback is always welcome.
