Sheaffer Pens

Lately, I've been so in the throes of my pen obsession that I've taken to coveting them. I'll pore over the Fountain Pen Hospital catalog (the 2001 just arrived) and read the ad copy as carefully as a rabbi might read the Torah. In fact, I find myself believing the ad copy at times. My endless fascination with the Intrigue was one of those times. Hear the siren song: "Once in a generation a new design icon is born...the Sheaffer Intrigue typifies such an icon ... superior performance ... extraordinary finishes." and so on.Somehow, I had my heart set on the whale shark pattern of the Intrigue and, as it was the holiday season, I made sure to publicize this fact to my wife and any other family members who I thought might be co-opted into feeding my habit. I even helpfully included a handy Ashford coupon code to ensure maximal affordability of my once in a lifetime design icon.
