About PenHero.com

Welcome to PenHero.com

PenHero.com was founded September 26, 2001 by Jim Mamoulides as a simple on-line archive of fountain pen links. His motivation was to create a web page because the bookmarks in his browser had become unwieldy with over 150 sites collected. He thought it would be easier to manage if he dumped the lot to a webpage that he could access easily and get where he wanted to go with a single click, rather than navigate a bunch of nested menus. The site quickly grew to become a creative outlet for articles on pen history, pen reviews, and a repository of pen information.

PenHero.com not only contains hundreds of pen related weblinks, but is a photo-illustrated on-line resource of information about vintage and modern writing instruments. If this is your first time here, you may want to peruse the numerous articles, penographies, advertisement galleries, web polls, desktop wallpapers, and vintage user guides that are frequently updated each month.

In addition, there are pens and ephemera for sale, as well as original signed photographs, many from the pages of PenHero.com, available in the PenHero.com Store.

Enjoy your visit, and enjoy the word's best hands-on hobby, the hobby that connects your thoughts to paper with the pen in your hand.
