stationers
Sellers of pens
Stationers is the plural of stationer, a person or shop that sells office supplies, paper goods, and writing materials.
The term persists in business names: I picked up envelopes at the stationers.
Historically, stationers sold books and published them, which is why the Stationers' Company of London was central to early English copyright law.
