Ohio Pen Show 2021, Part 2: Mechanical pencils have their own great stories, down to grades of lead and barrel sizes

November 16, 2021

Within the fantastic expanse of authentically historic, highly customized, and brand spanking new fountain writers set out for The Ohio Pen Show, mechanical pencils appeared a niche within a niche. [1,2] That’s not to say such pieces were particularly elusive. Some exhibitors even had them highlighted in stand-alone trays; others readily pointed out their offerings when asked. But the setup by Jonathan Veley was different. In fact, extremely so. One end efficiently catered to practical writing ....
