How the winners were determined…
Luxury items deserve extra attention, so we let Stylus readers determine which brands offered the best pens in the calendar year as shown in the Annual. No panel of experts, no editors’ choices and no jaded opinions—just our readership’s honest preferences as to which brands made the best pens in five price categories. Those price categories are: under $100; $101 - $500; $501 - $1,000; $1,001 - $3,000; and $3,000 and up. Once again this year, readers are invited to peruse the pages of this 2009 Stylus Annual and submit the downloadable ballot (iwmagazinevideo. com) via mail or fax.
The results of last year’s contest, chosen from pens pictured in the 2008 Annual, are shown below. Beginning with the least expensive, they are: the Retro 51 Double Eight; the Lamy dialog; the Marlen Rembrandt and the Visconti Divina Black (tie); the Conway Stewart Drake; and the David Oscarson Valhalla.
