Hey folks,

Going in reverse, I'm sorry that a couple of big projects landed in my lap and I've had to delay posting about recent Chinese pens with vintage nib transplants, a topic that came up with Norm and I. Will get to it soon-ish.

More importantly, I have no idea how many of you know this: Brian and Lisa Anderson had been through the wringer and lost their Anderson Pens business. It was a very convoluted legal affair, very sad, and I have no interest in rehashing that story, you can do your own research.

However, as of today, they are back in business as Cardinal Pens! I am so happy for them and glad to have them back - not just as a personal presence in the pen world, but they bring a vintage focus now, while still having some new retail stock, and Brian has ramped up his YouTube content. If nothing else, they will continue to be a good go-to source for restoration supplies, and it just seems like all-around a good news day for them, and for us. I hope you'll consider showing them some support.

Regards,
Jon
