Fountain Pens in Recent History

In its heyday, the fountain pen was the principle instrument people used for written communication. During the past century, fountain pens evolved as inventors developed various mechanisms and methods for pens to hold ink and fill them. Dip pens were finally relegated to the past.

FOUNTAIN PEN HOSPITAL was founded in 1946 by Phil Wiederlight and Al Wiederlight (the father and grandfather, respectively, of today's proprietors – Terry and Steve Wiederlight). Terry and Steve have a combined 50 years experience in all phases of vintage and modern writing instruments. Joining them in January of 1997 as Director of Operations, was Ed Fingerman who brought an additional 20+ years experience in fine writing instruments to the firm. Ed is a former President of Pen Collectors of America, a regular contributor to The Pennant, and has contribued to Pen World and numerous vintage

From his site:

FOUNTAIN PENS offer the writer a delightful aesthetic experience; they’re pleasing to use, and they produce a distinctive handwriting that cannot be achieved by any other means. (Read my essay about why I use fountain pens.)

In addition to careful, respectful repair and restoration, I specialize in adjusting, regrinding, and customizing nibs on all brands of pens. For instant gratification, I offer a broad selection of economical preground nibs for Pelikan pens.

As an authorized retailer for Bexley, Conway Stewart, Filcao, Pelikan, Signum, and Taccia, I have a carefully chosen selection of modern pens for sale. These are pens I’ve chosen because, as a repairer, I have confidence in their quality and reliability. Most of these pens have nibs that can be customized. If you purchase a pen and order its nib customized, I can customize the nib to your specifications and ship your pen the next business day. Nib customization begins at $30.00; please send mail to discuss your specific needs and their cost.
