2018 Sheaffer Triumph Pens Calendar

PenHero

Now available for purchase on Lulu.com - click this link!

On January 1, 1942, Sheaffer introduced the new Triumph Lifetime pen line to its dealers and the first advertisements appeared in Life Magazine on July 27, 1942 featuring the new and innovative conical Triumph "Sheath-Point" nib. The new Triumph line was very different in look from the previous Balance pen lines, more pointed at the ends and at the nib. The new nib became an iconic Sheaffer design, and variations were used on pens through the 1990s. This calendar is a look at twelve early Triumph models from 1942 through 1947 from lever and vacuum-fil models through the top of the line Masterpiece pens.

2018 Sheaffer Snorkel Calendar

PenHero

Now available for purchase on Lulu.com - click this link!

In 1952 Sheaffer introduced the Snorkel fountain pen line, which is recognized today as one of the most complex filling mechanisms ever made. The pen was supported with a heavy advertising campaign, proclaiming its clean "dunk free" filling and ease of use where only the filling tube touches the ink. It extends to draw in the fluid and withdraws when the pen is filled, leaving the point and barrel clean and free of ink. It's one of the iconic Sheaffer designs of the 1950s and this calendar gives you twelve of them to enjoy, one for each month of 2018!

2018 Conklin Streamline Pens Calendar

PenHero

Now available for purchase on Lulu.com - click this link!

In response to Sheaffer's introduction of the streamlined Balance pen in 1929, Conklin and many other pen manufacturers found themselves scrambling to match it. The first Endura Symetrik, introduced in 1930, was essentially a rounded off flat-top Endura, having the same Endura nib and trim bands on the cap and barrel. Conklin introduced the Nozac, America's first piston-fill fountain pen, in 1931. These pens, and Conklin's All American and lever-fill models, were made in some of the most beautiful celluloids and faceted designs. With this calendar, you can take home twelve collectible Conklin pens from the 1930s and enjoy a new one each month!


2018 Art Pens of Japan Calendar

PenHero

Now available for purchase on Lulu.com - click this link!

From the earliest appearance of fountain pens in Japan, Japanese artists have applied their unique decorating styles to these new writing instruments. Four styles are represented on the pens in this calendar: engraved silver and gold fill, including use of an acid treatment to give silver a matte finish, kamakura-bori, a decorative technique done by carving patterns in wood or lacquer revealing layers of color and then polishing to finish, raden, a maki-e technique using shell inlay on the urushi coated lacquer surface, and kawari-nuri, literally “free pattern,” a decorative technique where the artist is free to produce any abstract pattern in the urushi lacquer, which is then over coated in clear urushi. The pens date from the 1910s to 1950s, giving a brief overview of how decorative techniques changed over time as well as the pen designs themselves.
