Hippogriff   10 #1 Posted August 15, 2020 Hi, does anyone know a shop that specialises in somewhat upmarket pens where you can spend time trying them out? It doesn't need to be a branch of Mont Blanc or something... no idea what's wanted yet, so I would like many brands available to try. I was wondering if John Lewis might have a selection. There's a shop called The Pen Box in Lincolnshire (I'm happy to travel a reasonable distance to have a day out) but it's not doing viewings due to Covid. Plenty of Jewellers may sell good pens - I just don't know if they can offer great advice and knowledge at the same time... hence looking for thoughts here.  Not looking for answers like - WH Smith, ta.

Rollypolly   51 #2 Posted August 15, 2020 There's a shop in York that specialises in pens. I think it's called Signature. Also one called the Pen Box in North Lincs. I don't know of any in Sheffield.

Sorry, just noticed you've already tried the Pen Box 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Becky B   31 #6 Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Isn't there a pen shop on Surrey Street? I've often looked at the window display when passing that way. Not sure if it's exclusively pens. Edited August 16, 2020 by Becky B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rollypolly   51 #7 Posted August 16, 2020 Hi Becky, you're thinking of FG Thomas the Pen specialist. I believe they closed down last year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
