Pentrace News: Calling for news, articles and reports from Pentracers worldwide.

We are looking to revitalize Pentrace with our commitment to education in our hobby. Pentrace needs your help in so many ways so many will benefit.

You are the heart and soul of Pentrace. Every person that participates and provides news, articles, reviews and reports will reach our fellow pen collectors worldwide. Your information is vital to everyone as we have a common interest and a goal to learn more about our hobby. For every article, question or posting your queries and information, you are doing a huge favor to many who are asking the same questions.

Many of us are not able to attend pen shows or may not have a local pen club. Pentrace is the worldwide solution to those who are seeking knowledge. Speaking for a very large audience of Pentrace readers we ask for more content to share with others.

Look to Home Page for more news and content.

Welcome Pennamania...our pen collecting friends in Italy.

We now have a link button on the Pentrace Home Page to Pennamania which is a very lively fountain pen collectors site which shares the same passion as Pentrace. You can click on the link button and go directly to their site and they will do the same for a direct link to Pentrace. So, we welcome and may expect some new visitors to the Message Board and PenMarket pages.
Pennamania also suggests that we exchange articles and reviews.
Giovanni will translate the Italian ones into English and they will translate the English into Italian. They have a treasure trove of stuff on Italian pens and much more!
Follow the links at top of Home Page for fascinating material on:
Forum, PM Auction, pennaBlog, penWorld, bookWorld, myStyle, thinkingMinds, wikiPenna, Brainstorming, Tecnica Fotografica, Time Machine, Penshows and Fotogallery.

Together our forums can grow much more rapidly! The more new fountain pen and writing equipment articles and discussions we place on the Home Page, the more frequent the visits to our site and the more we learn from each other!
Notice at the top of a few pages you have the option to Select Language for translation into English and many other languages. So, don’t be bashful let’s expand our Horizons so we can learn and share. I am sure there is much we can learn from our Italian friends and they also can learn from our world wide audience of Pentrace members.
Read the Forum Rules:

FORUM RULES - Please read carefully before you enter a post Forum This is one of the landmarks of fans of new and vintage fountain pens, where each member can share and compare their ideas / images, with the whole community. Pennamania is a space free, which of course must follow the rules of living in peace and mutual respect, the rules very often before deliberately violated.
Basically, be nice and respectful to others as you would right here on Pentrace and other Forums.
