We're looking forward to our trip to Raleigh over the weekend of May 30-June 1. Raleigh is always a great show, and we hope to see many of you there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** The RichardsPens Schedule for April *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are the days on which we'll be shipping during March: Wednesday, April 2 Saturday, April 5 Wednesday, April 9 Saturday, April 12 Wednesday, April 16 Saturday, April 19 Wednesday, April 23 Saturday, April 26 Wednesday, April 30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Barbra's Attic Boasts Another Brandy-New Tray! *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As things hav come and gone in the Attic, Barbara continues to dig up more things we should let go of. This month she's outdone herself with a very interesting tray. http://www.richardspens.com/?acc=attic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Bexley's Poseidon Magnum II is Hot! *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Poseidon Magnum II is the same size as the tremendously successful Poseidon Magnum, and it's also showing itself to be a serious winner. It's a piston filler for added reliability and capacity. And it comes in three colors never before seen on a Bexley pen. We have it, and we're ready for you to take it home. http://www.richardspens.com/?pens=bex+magnum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** And Speaking of Bexley.. *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 2014 Owner's Club pen is still available to everybody, not just people who have already bought and registered Bexley pens. This new pen is really special: it's made of a new resin called Flexigran that's amazingly tough and is the first modern resin to have the depth and richness of color that celluloid is famous for. http://www.richardspens.com/?pens=bex+ownersclub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** New Month, New Tray! *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As we do every month, we've put up a bright shiny new tray of restored pens for your delectation — if you're quick enough. http://www.richardspens.com/?pens=tray ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Broad Strokes *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What color is your fountain pen ink? No, I mean REALLY what color is it? I posted this question on Facebook, and more than 700 people read it. So I've expanded on it for you in a new RichardsPens.com reference page. http://www.richardspens.com/?misc=chroma ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Pens That Write Right! *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unless otherwise requested at the time of sale, we tune each new pen or nib at no extra charge before shipment. We fill the pen with Waterman Blue-Black ink and write with it on paper from the same fountain pen friendly pads we sell, adjusting as necessary to bring it up to the RichardsPens.com "factory" standard for smoothness and flow. If you order a new pen with a customized nib, I will modify the nib (for an extra charge) and ship the pen immediately instead of putting it into my regular queue. Remember, we are authorized retailers for Bexley, Edison, Gate City Pen, Namiki and Pilot, Onoto, and Pelikan. We don't always have a complete line up on the site, but we can get anything our manufacturers offer -- if you don't see it, just ask! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Follow Us on the Internet with RSS, Facebook, and Twitter *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us on the Internet by subscribing to our RSS feed.
