Welcome to QPens

I’m Michael Quitt and though I’ve kept a relatively low profile in the “pen world” for the past 25 years, I’ve been very busy during that time buying / collecting / hoarding, selling, and restoring vintage fountain pens. I’ve kept a presence as the “vintage pen person” at Bertram’s Inkwell in Baltimore for the past ten (10) years and have been their resident vintage pen repairperson for the past sixteen (16) years.

My personal collection of pens has little focus and I have been accused of being an “accumulator” by many of my pen collecting friends. To remedy this, I'll be listing some of these pens for sale on a regular basis; and, like my collection, it will be an eclectic offering reaching across the price spectrum and will include common and less common examples. If you’d like to be notified when I add new pens, please sign my mailing list and I’ll e-mail you when items are added to the site. All of the pens that I list will be totally restored inside and out unless otherwise noted. Thanks for stopping by and come back often.
