I'm not sure how many Melbournians (or even Australians) we have in this sub-forum, but the 2010 Melbourne Pen Show is this Sunday.

www.melbpenshow.com.au for details. I'll be there as a member of the Melbourne Pen Club, displaying a selection of my pens. EIther this:

...or this...

2careless · 18 November 2010, 11:51 AM

I'll attend but probably won't show my pens. Mine's just a bit here and there only.

blackmsport · 18 November 2010, 12:13 PM

I'll come but won't show my collections....

Shangas · 18 November 2010, 12:15 PM

Showing off your collection is just for those who are there specifically to do so. You'll also get the chance to buy pens (which are for sale, not those in collections!), so be sure to bring some cash if you intend to buy some pens.

Everyone have a good time at the pen show and trust you will find a pen to your liking and buy it!!!

Steve, need to wait a week or two for my latest aquisition.

A piece you have been drooling for a while

Lol-x · 19 November 2010, 06:43 AM

Oh no

a green straited 149 I presume, you can tell me all about it on Sunday at the Pen GTG.

All you guys from the USA, you had better jump on a plane now to make it on time this Sunday morning here in sunny Melbourne

Idk, those a380s scare me. I would love to make it to Australia someday, I'll definitely be looking for fellow TRFers...

There's no green straited 149, only green straited 146...

EE33 · 19 November 2010, 03:34 PM

Bic biro's are awesome, I've got 5 on my desk and 100's scattered around the warehouse.

Lol-x · 20 November 2010, 02:44 PM

Hey guys I'm going to be at the Pen Show tomorrow morning at 9:50am for a 10am start when the doors open.....I don't want to miss out on anything good

So lets hook up if you can make it

2careless · 20 November 2010, 04:18 PM

I'll be there around 10:45-11:00. Let's hope there are goodies to pick up

Shangas · 21 November 2010, 06:31 AM

If you're looking for me, I'll be wearing a black waistcoat and a double albert watch-chain.

Lol-x · 22 November 2010, 07:07 AM

It was a cool Pen Show guys, good to see Shahan and Kai there.

I didn't get any new pens but it was interesting to have a look around

It was well done

Damage Inc. · 22 November 2010, 07:19 AM

Any pictures of the event?

Shangas · 22 November 2010, 08:51 AM

I took several. They'll take a while to upload...

Pen City, with David sitting behind the table...

Melbourne pen-repairman Peter Ford and his swathe of pens...

Bernie Sweet's sweet stuff...

Inkwells galore!

The Melbourne Pen Club's table:

^ ^ ^ My display! ^ ^ ^

Peter Ford's Lucky Dip:

Pam's Pencils:

And last but not least...my three purchases:

Sterling silver button-filler.

Conklin crescent-filler.

1900 Waterman w/original box & papers.

Zed Homme · 22 November 2010, 09:00 AM

Congrats on the new pens Shahan!

Thanks for the pics!

Looks like that was quite the event. Those inkwells are really interesting.

blackmsport · 22 November 2010, 09:17 AM

dddrees · 22 November 2010, 09:19 AM

Nice looking pens, thanks for sharing.

Damage Inc. · 22 November 2010, 09:37 AM

Very cool, thanks for sharing and congrats on the new pieces!
Lots of neat looking pens there...would've been fun to see in person.

Hmmmmm...never been to Australia, perhaps I'll have to add it to the 'must visit' list.

you should.... Oprah is coming here too.....

2careless · 22 November 2010, 10:45 AM

Thanks - I was there and my camera had no battery.
Anyway, good to meet with a number of pen friends to put a face behind the avatar.

I didn't buy much, just a couple bottles of inks and a ink stain remover.

Shangas · 22 November 2010, 10:49 AM

Amodex? Yes I bought a bottle of that stuff too. Can't be TOO careful...
