Vintage vs. New - who did it better? Mr. Odd Oink and I discuss the new (to you) Conklin classic fountain pen inks, moldy Private Reserve inks, and Esterbrook J & JR pens. Are the modern companies living up to the standards of the past, or blazing new trails forward? We follow up on buying a pen to motivate studying for my test. We answer a few new e-mails as well. Ask us any questions you'd like to have answered on the podcast by e-mailing pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com

Why get flowers for a pen enthusiast when you can give them a Benu Wild Rose fountain pen. Part of the Talisman pen collection from our friends at Luxury Brand of America, the Wild Rose is limited to 300 pens worldwide and includes bits of actual rose in the shimmering resin material. You'll be sure to get a "heart-on" from writing with this pen.
