Great Reasons to Become a Member Today!
As a member, you receive our highly acclaimed magazine, the PENNANT, published three times a year and featuring in-depth articles about the history and restoration of pens, about modern pens, information about Internet sites, letters to the editor, reviews of pen reference books, information about local clubs and more.
The PCA maintains the world's largest library of pen company catalogues, repair manuals, articles, advertising materials, and other ephemera. A listing of the archived material is sent to all members, who may then order reprints at a nominal charge.
A few years ago, the PCA Board decided to investigate how to get fountain pens into the hands of children. If fountain pens are to survive in today's high tech world, it will be because we have taken the time to share our love of pens with young writers. Pens for young users are available at all pen shows.
Pens and the Post Pen
The Pens and the Post pen is a handcrafted pen by Alan Shaw of Shaw Pens made to commemorate the Pens and the Post event at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum May 19, 2010. As a contribution to the PCA, part of the cost will be donated as a gift to accomplish the mission of the Pen Collectors of America.
