Signs Now Occasions Engraving

I had two metal fountain pen caps engraved here, and I have to say that this really was the best experience (quality of job, service, pricing) among several engraving retailers.
First, I have had 2 other engravers tell me it was impossible to get this job done (Things Remembered was one of them). It is tricky because of the size of the pen cap and its curvature, which requires manual rotation while engraving. Many engravers don’t have equipment that can properly clasp a small metal cap. These factors made the job altogether more challenging.
For some random and unrelated reasons, I have had this exact job done before, so I have another engraved version of the pen cap with which to make the comparison. The original job was at Wentworth & Sloan in Chapel Hill for a total of $ 40. While their job was nice, the engraving is more surface-​level and fainter. Probably because of their equipment. I went back to them originally to have the jobs redone, but the former engraver, Susan, is no longer working there. I would never take it there again though, given the current engraver has an attitude and is evidently less experienced. From her doubtful looks, I did not trust her to do this without messing it up.
Signs Now’s engraver, Lewis, did a marvelous job, honestly better than the first time I had this done through Wentworth. The engraving is deeper, more visible, and very skillfully done as the font size is slightly smaller. The two pens were engraved for $ 24 — I could not believe the amazing price, having gone to at least 3 other engravers before. Furthermore, no attitude from the ladies working the register. This place just seems down to earth and friendly, a contrast to the treatment I have experienced elsewhere.
So in conclusion, I would trust Signs Now with my engraving jobs in the future. Great pricing, and they proved their expertise in engraving with my pen caps.
