To actually write with, I recommend the Sanford Uni-Ball Vision Fine. As a sentimental gift for a lifetime of work, I would look at what store carries these high-zoot pens and can provide engraving and a nice display case. Then buy whatever comes closest to the $300 budget. There's probably some store in New York that carries that stuff.

I found a nice place in NYC to get them: http://www.joon.com
But they don't offer prices on their site.. I did send an email asking for several prices.
I am looking for model recomendations, if anyone had experience with any of these high quality pens.
Disgruntled.. that is a nice everyday pen, but it's not a gift [$1.23] lol.webmaster A T 420th.com

I for one, know that a Mont Blanc is :
1. Gold plated
2. Platinum tipped
3. Needs ink
4. Writes
5. Is hella expensive -- but makes a nice gift.

You might try googling for "Montblanc Meisterstuck" (w/o the quotes): The black fountain pen with 18k gold nib would make a terrific gift, although I suspect it'd go over your preferred limit. Much less pricey (definitely under $300), and certainly no less likely to bring an appreciative smile, is the Meisterstuck ballpoint, also very sharp in the classic black resin.
I prefer a Bic: can lose and snooze ;)Last edited by tfc; 06-08-2005 at 11:56 AM.
