[Clark Crouch]

I will be in Philadelphia next week and I would appreciate names/addresses of
any pen shops there.

There's only one decent pen shop in the Philadelphia Area (that I know of.)
It's called Pen Station.

It's in Wayne, PA. The number is 610-687-4629

If you are staying in Center City you can take the R5 train which will take you
a few feet from their door. It's about a half hour trip.

The store is only open on Saturdays and even then, it's a good idea to call
before you make the trek

While they are not havens for fountain pen enthusiasts there are two shops
in Philadelphia that should quality fountain pens. The first is Holt's, a tobacconist on
Walnut Street. They have a fairly wide selection of new pens including Waterman,
Parker, and (of course) Mont Blanc pens. They also sell at a discount.

The other is "Taws" an excellent art supply house on Walnut Street. They
have a small selection of pens -- mostly Pelikans and (of course) Mont Blanc. As a art
supply store, they also have a selection of inks.

Not much help, but it's better than sitting in your room watching television or
trying to read the Inquirer.

And, to my fellow Pittsburgher's suggestions, I would add Office Cents on
Chestnut near 16th, which sells DuPont, Mont Blanc, Cross, Parker and
Sheaffer, along with some nonames.

Don't forget Portner's on 18th and the Black Cat (I think this is the name),
a discount cigar store on Sansom around 16th. Both sell new pens.
