Aurora Ipsilon from Levenger

In Italy, thousands of earnest young hands ink their first words with Aurora pens. Italy’s oldest fountain pen producer, Aurora makes both high-end collector’s pens as well as everyday ones that Italian schoolchildren use. This Ipsilon is in a special class, as it’s Aurora’s most popular pen of all. Made of a lightweight resin, the large barrel sits comfortably in adult hands.

The steel nib of the fountain pen is goldplated and firm and takes its ink from cartridges or a converter. The big curvy cap snaps onto the fountain pen and retracts on the ballpoint.

We have an offer that we hope earns an A from you: the set of two pens is priced for one, at a savings of $55. Take advantage of this opportunity to own and enjoy a pair of Italian classics.

Tambor Journal

As many a journaler has observed, computers just can't compare to the tactile pleasure of a pen-and-ink journal. This full-grain leather cover should be especially appealing to those who like a hands-on approach. It features deep, wide grooves like the ones on the tambour of a rolltop desk. And it offers a comparable convenience: the cover will fold all the way back and out of the way while you write, making this journal well-suited for writing in cramped quarters such as airplanes.

Open this rolltop to find 240 pages of 60-lb. archival paper, creamy and with a medium rule. Even if you press hard with your pen, little ink will show through. The Tambour Journal measures 6" W x 1" D x 8¾" H. Made in Italy. Gift boxed. Enjoy being in the groove of writing by hand.
