Hello, Earl Farney retired in 1972 and has been owned by the Sullivan family since.
For what it is worth it still has the feel of a family business (which it is, just not the Fahrney gamily). Really a nice place to visit and everyone is supet friwndly and knowledgeable.
I found this information on their website: Mr. Fahrney retired after relocating the store to New York Avenue in 1971. He subsequently sold Fahrney’s Pens to Jon and Corinne Sullivan in 1972. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan upheld Mr. Fahrney’s unique passion for writing instruments. Eventually, Jon Sullivan stepped back and handed the day-to-day operations to his son, Chris, who demonstrates the same passion and tradition that have been a hallmark of Fahrney’s Pens for over 80 years.
