Program: Conklin Nozacs, presented by Pete Kirby, our resident expert on Conklins, one of the major pen brands of the early twentieth century. This depression era line of quality fountain pens and pencils marked a new departure in filling mechanism and in visual appeal. Pete will share something of its history and development, its varied styles and colors, and its place in the companys fortunes.
This announcement was shamelessly copied from an email I received about the meeting, from BuzzJ of FPN. The location for the meeting is Holiday Inn in Richardson, directions here.
In addition to the program, which I am certain will be fascinating, there will be pens to look at, to purchase, and to sell. Bring pens you want to sell, money to buy some treasures, or, at least your self, for fun with fellow "pen heads". Hope to see you there!
Donnie
