EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1940 at The Pen Shop, located at 112 Monument Circle in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily workings of a bygone era's fountain pen repair shop. John Keller, the skilled craftsman, stands proudly before his workbench, surrounded by an array of tools and equipment. The air is filled with the scent of ink and the gentle hum of machinery. At the heart of the shop lies a lathe, grinding and shaping pen nibs to perfection. The walls are adorned with a variety of pens from renowned manufacturers like Waterman, Conklin, Shaeffer, Parker, Wahl, Moore, Swan, and Holland. Each pen, with its unique character and history, awaits the gentle touch of Keller's expert hands. The tools of the trade - tweezers, pliers, and adjusting gauges - are meticulously arranged, ready for use. The machine shop, with its large windows, allows ample natural light to illuminate the workspace, ensuring precision and accuracy in every repair. Communications were a vital part of daily life in 1940, and the fountain pen was the preferred writing instrument for business and personal correspondence. The Pen Shop was a vital hub, keeping the city's pen community connected through the art of writing. This photograph is a testament to the craftsmanship, dedication, and history of the fountain pen repair industry. It invites us to appreciate the artistry and attention to detail that went into each pen repair, making every stroke on paper a masterpiece.
