Onoto Magna Classic - Made in England

The Magna Classic Silver Black is completely hand-made and bears the words "Onoto the Pen" Made in England, engraved on the barrel just like many of the vintage Onoto pens of the last century when such famous patrons like Winston Churchill, Natsume Soseki and Field Marshall Haig relied on their Onoto pens to communicate great words and wisdoms. Hold the Magna Classi and you'll marvel at its perfect balance and lightness, but don't be fooled by its weight. This is an amazing pen and it could be yours.

The Amazing Victorian and Vintage Pencil Collection

This collection in the care of Joe Nemecek will be on display during the show for all to see. This collection has been in the making for more than two decades. Here is a sampling of the collection:

Pendleton Brown a very capable repair person and nib expert will be present in New York for the first time. Mr. Brown has been a regular at the Washington DC Pen Show for several years and has dazzled many of us with his excellent work. He will be setting up a repair station at the show, so bring in your prized possessions in need of repair and give him a chance to prove himself and his work, you will not be disappointed.

Carl Seidl and Eva Amir will be exhibiting the wonderful creations that come from Carl and Eva's imagination. You always wanted a 51 ballpoint but it was not made, well now it is and you can pick the model, color and material that you want. Carl has made so many amazing ballpoints from the original vintage fountain pens from Parker, Sheaffer, and more. His work is outstanding and his designs are extremely innovative.


Eva has added a line of wonderful gift items to their inventory, all made from the materials used in pen manufacturing and you can, if you are lucky enough to get there early, match your key ring to your ballpoint, or you pill holder to your key ring. Many new and exciting designs to chose from and there is always something fresh and new from them.
