Ravens March: A Place for Old Pens and Odd Books


Welcome to my website of archaisms!  Here you will find some instruction for maintaining the data storage systems of the pre-electronic era, the book and the fountain pen.  I also sell and service, in a limited way, either of these creatures, so if you have something you need fixed, have a look at the appropriate area and feel free to contact me for more details.  The site is still under construction (more work than one would expect), so some links are as yet not working.

Current update: 22 August 2010-- A few new pages in the Collection,  the For Sale page no longer has already-sold items on it.

Ravens March is located, in as much as it has a physical existance, in Regina, in the province of Saskatchewan, which is the trapezoidal bit slightly west of centre on the maps of Canada.  But it's really a web-based entity, so the best way to visit is the one you're using now.
