Continue ShoppingTop 5 Pens of 2019 So Far - Half-Year Review
In January of 2019, we started a monthly video feature on our YouTube channel called, "Top 5 Pens." Using data from customer sales, reviews posted on goldspot.com, social media likes, comments, and user feedback, we developed a list of the hottest writing instruments of the month. As anyone who follows the pen community online knows, trends change quickly. One month, we could be talking about a new pen color, a special we had on our Weekly Dip promotion, or a limited edition that sold out within days.
As we conclude the first half of 2019, check out the latest Top 5 Pens - June 2019 on YouTube below. Scroll down past the video to see all the Top 5 Pens so far this year, month-by-month, along with a chance to win June's #1 pen!

My husband is active on the Community Policing Council here. He’s very passionate that things are done well to improve the situation for the police as as well as the community to keep everyone safe. I know he would treasure the Retro 51 Shield limited Ed. Thank you for offering this giveaway!

My top pens of 2019 (so far) are my Retro 51 Tornado Popper Limited Edition “Stan” Hockey rollerball and my PenBBS 456 translucent vacuum-filling fountain pen. I have a special fondness for Retro 51 pens and I love how they’re always coming out with new ideas with cool designs. PenBBS make great pens with lots of different filling systems and the prices are very reasonable.

Retro 51 pen shield is my favorite as it would be a nice gift to give to my BROTHER as he is a Chicago Police Officer. Thanx for the chance
