Hi, am coming to SF in June for a week of conferences and wanted to know which pen shops are worth visiting. Interested in all brands second hand and new. Thanks.

I remembered that this information has been requested on a previous occasion so I did a search. This previous thread came up

Tell the Posse king when and he will arrange a meeting.
King = Franz.
Great thanks
I bought several nice pens from an art supply store on a cross street south of Market. Don't recall the name. They had a single display counter of pens, with Aurora, Parker, Sheaffer, Pelikan, and other top makes.
I bought a Namiki Vanishing Point in carbon fiber and a Parker Duofold International in grey pearl.
In any event, here's an index:

You probably were at Flax. Gone. No longer.
Could have also been Blick, which is on Market, that likely had some fountain pens.
Edit: realized they said South of Market. Yeah, that was Flax. RIP, you awesome little art store, you.
Edit 2: looks like they move to Fort Mason: https://flaxart.com/san-francisco-store/
