    Default A few pics from Scriptus Toronto 2024

    I have been attending Scriptus Toronto for several years and I have to say this was the best one yet! The show organizers did a great job promoting the show with tons of raffles, swag, and social media presence. They also put out an exhibitor list and interactive map (critical for someone like me). As usual before attending a show, I did a ton of research on the exhibitors and created a “list” of stuff I wanted to see.

    The show itself was expanded to another exhibition room on a second level. More importantly, they attracted dealers like the legendary Fountain Pen Hospital from New York!

    I arrived about an hour early and, as usual, there was already a big lineup! The line in front of me



    And behind me



    I rushed right over to the Fountain Pen Hospital table. I have been to their NY store a few times and it is quite spectacular. They opted to bring pre-owned/vintage stuff from their “back room” for the show.



    My next stop was Stylo.ca, another great retailer in from my hometown of Montreal, and I got to cross one off my list! Sailor 1911L Wicked Witch of the West edition.



    Later on in the show, I also got lucky by finding a matching Wicked Witch ink at penablers.ca table!



    Speaking of ink, yet another one on my list, Ferris Wheel Press Leadcast Letters



    That’s not a pen, THAT’S a pen!



    Incredible collection of vintage Montblanc







    In addition to pens and inks, there were tons of accessories and leatherwork like this beautiful book cover. It reminded me of something you would see in a movie.



    I didn’t take too many show pics as it was super crowded and you know I like to focus on product shots over people lol. I also didn’t have a media pass for early access (perhaps I can talk to them about this for future shows).

    So I will close with some haul pics.



    I love the way the bottle cap is exposed



    I got this for a future planned pen purchase

    And now the Sailor





    That’s purple alright





    The business end



    In closing, it is worth pointing out that all exhibitors I spoke to were super friendly. You can tell this is a tight knit community of people who are very enthusiastic about pens and are excited to share their hobby.

    Great pictures and thank-you for sharing them with us, RL1. Were the folks at Wonder Pens there? I do enjoy online shopping with them.

    And who had the very nice collection of Montblancs?

    thanks all!

    yes Wonder Pens was definitely there! I think they had 4 tables and there was a constant lineup to see them (I believe they had some show exclusives in limited numbers). I walked by their table a couple of times but decided not to wait in line as they didnt appear to have things on my "list".

    I am not sure of the gentleman's name with the Montblancs but i can narrow it down for you lol. he was in the new room on the first floor so here is the list of all exhibitors in that room:

    ArtLinePensCollectibles
    Atelier Ecluse
    BananaHand
    Blesket Canada
    Calligraphic Arts Guild of Toronto
    Capolavoro Creations
    Circumflex Stationery
    Epitome Pen Company
    Ink Table
    Inkwood
    May Craft Tribe
    Melissa Peh
    Midoco Art & Office Supplies
