Bexley Fountain Pens don't seem to get as much discussion as that other Ohio-made brand, Edison, but it's not because there's anything wrong with them. The Bexley Pen Co. was founded in 1993 by Howard Levy in Columbus, Ohio and still manufactures pens at that location today. Their designs tend toward the "old school" classic pens from the 20s and 30s, but they certainly don't lack for quality or visual appeal. Personally, I think they're terrific and I look forward to adding more to my small collection.
Here's my mini-collection of Bexley fountain pens. I just picked up the last one on Saturday at the Philly Pen Show and thought it was time to have them all pose for a family photo. I really like each one of these and expect the family will continue to grow over the years.
From left to right:
- Bexley Demeter, Black Acrylic with Red trim rings and a Medium Steel Nib (the new addition)
- Bexley Jim Gaston Limited Edition - 2001. Red-Black woodgrain Ebonite and a big honkin' Medium Waterman 18K nib and section.
- Bexley Owners Club - 2009 (#56 of 116). Blue-Black rippled Ebonite with a Fine 18K gold nib.
