The Gold Standard

The Philadelphia Pen Show started today, but Goldspot is showing up casually late to the party. The car's all packed up with oodles of pens and other goodies to feast your eyes on. We'll be bringing some limited editions and specialty items from brands like Visconti, Conway Stewart, Aurora and Montegrappa. We'll have a few bottles of Noodlers, Pelkan Edelstein and Pilot Iroshizuku ink - not every color under the sun, but enough to give you a taste. We'll also supply your paper needs like Michael Scott with our stock Rhodia webbies and staplebound classic notebooks.

Our BIG special will be that any item purchased at our table during the weekend will receive FREE SHIPPING. That's right, you can place an order for one refill at the show and we'll send it without shipping & handling charge. So, if we don't have it at the show, we'll ship it to you on Monday.

Even if you're browsing this weekend and not looking to buy, we're running a giveaway for a FREE Aurora rollerball. Simply sign up for our e-mail newsletter at the show and we will randomly choose the winner on Monday. We will contact the winner by e-mail and mail out the pen as soon as we get their address.

Check out our special Philadelphia Pen Show e-mail newsletter that we sent out this week to our e-mail subscribers. We used Tom's "Hand Drawn Moleskine" design that is currently being voted on in the E-mail Template Challenge. He's currently in the lead, but still needs your help as voting ends Jan 31st.

Hope to see you there!
