PEN WORLD|October 2022
The first pen show in Orlando, Florida in over two decades was a huge success according to vendors, attendees, and Show Director Joe Cortner.
Orlando's Premiere: sept. 8-10

 Pen lovers from all over central Florida enjoyed the two public show days on Friday and Saturday; an added bonus was the Florida Hotel and Conference Center’s direct connection to a large shopping mall with dozens of restaurants.

The show featured hourly door prizes for attendees, including fountain pen giveaways from show sponsor Pilot, Visconti, Esterbrook, Molteni, River City Pens, Hinze Pen Co., Divine Pens Plus, and Magna Carta. Show sponsor Robert Oster Ink also provided a giveaway as well as the official show ink. Vendor Christopher Callison won a vendor door prize that covered his hotel stay, and vintage pen dealer Mike Dvoretz won a free table at next year’s show.

The second annual Orlando Pen Show is already planned for the same place in 2023. How magical!

Once again, the French atelier S.T. Dupont has found inspiration from its own archive of guilloche engraving. The new S.T. Dupont Monogram 1872 collection's ridged guilloche pattern is based on a pattern from the 1950s and is a combination of smooth, ridged, horizontal, vertical, and parallel lines combined in an italic motif that speaks to pure mid-20th-century elegance.
