Welcome to the Southern California Pen Collectors Club
About Us
History of the So Cal Pen Club
Started back in 1987 by Fred Krinke, the Southern California Pen Collectors Club is considered by some to be the precursor to the national club, The Pen Collectors of America. We have members of all ages & visitors come from around the globe. We all share interests in writing instruments, especially FOUNTAIN PENS, both vintage fountain pens and modern fountain pens. Our meetings usually include a presentation, and we always have lively discussions on fountain pen usage, collecting, trading, buying and selling, tall tales of acquisition, plus repair and restoration techniques.
Meetings of the Southern California Pen Collectors Club are a great place for Los Angeles and Orange County fountain pen collectors to buy, sell, or trade vintage fountain pens.
Are you from Orange County, or close to central OC ?
There is also an Orange County Pen Club and many penthusiasts are members of both the OC Pen Club and the So Cal Pen Club.

To actually JOIN the Southern California Pen Collectors Club / So Cal Pen Club you can come to our next meeting. The location serves Los Angeles fountain pen Collectors and Orange County pen collectors.
Joining the club involves a modest yearly fee (currently $10) used for stuff like pizza at the meetings. The attendance is usually 20-40 or so from our roster of a few hundred fountain pen enthusiasts. Our Southern California Pen Collector Club meetings are held 4 to 5 times a year in the LA and Orange County area, at a member’s home or some facilities made available to us.
