Sam

probably no one as religiously as me tho...

I am one of the ephrata people.

drop me a line if you want to venture up to adamstown for a good time on some sunday.

Philly pen club is meeting early june on saturday at the cira center.

Hello Jim,
Thank you for the warm welcome. If wish I had known about the ink before purchasing online.
I was looking for my first pen for a few months before I bought it and then I realized that I need to find ink and figure out how to fill the pen. Now that I have that under my belt it is time to go shopping.

Sam

Hello everyone,
My name is Sam and I am new to this board. As my topic title states I live in York, Pennsylvania which is about 50 miles north of Baltimore, Maryland.

Welcome Sam. I'm sure you'll find many other Parker 51 enthusiasts on this board. That includes me, particularly for the later aerometric filling Parker 51's, and/or Parker 51's with broad, stub or italic nibs, and/or those with "plum" colored barrels.

I live in Lancaster, just across the Susquehanna river. And I just happen to have a number of vintage 16 ounce bottles of Waterman permanent blue-black ink in the original boxes, which would be absolutely great to use for signing contracts. If I'd only known that you needed some ink!

There are any number of collectors in the immediate area, in Hellam, Lancaster (several), Ephrata, Reading, etc. And many of us "religiously" attend the outdoor antiques and collectibles markets in Adamstown, PA early on a Sunday morning, to find more fountain pens and mechanical pencils. Places like Renninger's, Shupp's and Black Angus, as well as the many indoor antique and collectibles cooperatives. And untold numbers of local auctions and flea markets.

This board is a great place to exchange information, and south central PA is a great place to find fountain pens.
