Welcome!
The Baltimore Fountain Pen Society is an
informal gathering of writing instrument enthusiasts in the
Metro Baltimore area. It's easy to join—just show up at
our next meeting. With a few exceptions, we meet at
members' homes. Each year we hold a joint meeting with the DC Metro Fountain Pen Club during the Washington DC Fountain Pen Supershow, and this year's meeting is scheduled for August 14. What do we do at our
meetings? We
- Enjoy friendly fountain
pen fellowship.
- Show acquisitions and
discoveries.
- Tell pen stories—the
good, the bad and the ugly!
- Play with various pens
and inks.
Some of us prefer vintage pens, some
modern pens and still others are wild about both. Some of us
are pen collectors and others are simply pen acquirers.
Whichever category you fit into, if you love to write with,
talk about and dream of fountain pens or other types of
writing instrument, we hope you'll check us out.
Don't forget to check out news
of our June 2010 meeting. Also you'll find on this page
videos of a commercial featuring a special celebrity talking about a special brand and type of fountain pen and the
society's first podcast featuring an
interview with club notables.
About our logo: Baltimore is home to
the nation's first large-scale monument to the first president
of the United States. The 178-foot
Washington Monument—which includes a 16-foot tall statue of
the president—sits at the center of a beautifully landscaped
park in the Mt. Vernon area of the city. Our version of the
monument, of course, features a 16-foot fountain pen nib—in
gold.
