Where To Purchase A&W Fountain Pens?

[Glen Richards]

Hi everyone!

I've used A&W fountain pens for several years now, and while I realize
they're
quite cheap, I really like them, especially the "Classic Impressions". I
used
to find them at Wal-Mart without any trouble, but they seem to no longer
carry
them.

I'm a bit embarassed to ask about them here, seeing how cheap they are
<grin>,
but can anyone suggest a vendor? BTW, I've emailed A&W Products but have had
no reply...

Many thanks!

Glen

I live in Northeast Florida and have had similar troubles finding A&W
pens. I emailed them in May and finally received a responce exactly a
month later, which I've posted below:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Marquis and Classic
Impressions
Fountain Pens. Unfortunately, Wal-Mart no longer purchases these
items and
I was not able to find a local retailer in your area. You can
purchase
directly from us as follows:

Item #51104 Marquis Fountain Pen at $5.00 each
Item #51110 Classic Impressions Fountain Pen at $6.00 each

Our minimum order requirement is $100 plus shipping and handling.
Payment
must be Check In Advance.

Mondial is the Italian Company who makes the ink cartridges.

Please let me know if you are interested in placing an order and your
shipping address so I can figure the cost.

14 Gardner Street

Phone: 1-800-223-5156

I think Walgreens still has them. And in Florida, I have seen them at
Eckerd Drugs. You may try Target, but I don't remember seeing them
there.

Last I looked, the Marquis was still available at Brooks Pharmacies,
but that only helps if you are in New England or New York. The store
locator is at http://www.brooks-rx.com/stores.htm. Brooks charges
$7.99, more than Wal-Mart did.
