Here is a pen store that has lasted many years, from bad times to good times. Back in 1929 Earl Fahrney started Fahrney's pens as a fountain pen repair shop. Just after the big crash of the stock market, repairing was the business to develop. Over time, Earl expanded his store to include sales. Later, in 1950 the store was relocated to the old Willard Hotel on F Street. Later the store was moved to New York Avenue in 1971 and Earl Fahrney retired.
In 1972 Jon and Corinne Sullivan bought the business and they maintain Earl's passion for pens. Jon's son, Chris has taken over the business.
The reviews of this store are very positive. This is one of those stores where it is an experience to visit and shop. Phrases like the store can not be exceeded in expertise, service or range of pens, or the big value is support with fixing, cleaning of pens and knowledgeable staff.
