The Whatchamacallit now has an official name — the Tolkien.  I received lots of really great name suggestions for the new model, from social media and via email.  Several suggested Tolkien, and it wasn’t a very hard decision for me after I saw that.  Tolkien has been my favorite writer ever since I first read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in 1973. They were a formative part of my childhood, and it will be fun making Tolkien pens. 😊

I’m happy to announce a new roll stop offering — a Koi Fish! I’ve always delighted in watching colorful Koi swimming around in their peaceful ponds. When a customer asked for a koi roll stop, I knew it was time to create one as a regular Scriptorium Pens offering. Hand cast in Silver, Bronze, Brass, or even Gold if you’d like, these koi feature graceful curves and finely detailed fish scales.

Each Koi is 26mm long and can be attached to any cap. The price is $40.

If you already have an order in the work queue and would like to swap a clip or other roll stop for this one, just let me know! renee@scriptoriumpens.com

Here’s a new pen model for 2021 that’s fun and funky — the Satire®. When closed, the cap looks longer than the barrel, but when uncapped, the pen is normal in length and has a very long, 28mm extended grip. This extra length on the grip keeps your fingers from touching the barrel threads.

The Satire® design grew out of a customer’s request for a model similar to the Aeterna®, but with a flush cap and barrel body.

It features a straight cap and barrel with slight tapers at either end. Both finials have a smooth, convex shape. The pen comes in the usual range of Scriptorium sizes, and can be customized like all other models.

This Large Satire in the distinguished Legionnaire acrylic was the first Satire created.  The customer is calling it the JA 1214. 😁

It’s almost time for this year’s Fountain Pen Day celebration, and for a discount that many customers look forward to. An international event, Fountain Pen Day occurs on the first Friday in November each year, and is a time for fans to share their enthusiasm for these unique writing instruments.
