The Washington DC Pen Show has come and gone and this years show was one of the best. It was well attended in spite of being one week later than it normally is held. All the vendors said it was one of their best shows of the year. Sales were good on Friday but Saturday was very busy all day long and Sunday was the usual day, not too busy but still sold some pens.
The Sailor Pen Co. was next to me and let me hold one of their signature Maki-e hand painted pens. This pen sells for $32,000!
The detail work on this pen is incredible – I tried to put it into my pocket but it did not fit so I gave it back to them!
So, now I am now back in the warehouse helping with orders and restocking the shelves and adding new items for sale. Stay tuned for a list of the new items….
Happy Turning – Barry
