Abstract: Magnetic holder device for pens and the like. The device comprises a base provided with a cavity for introducing the front or writing end of a pen; a first annular-shaped permanent magnet is arranged in the base member around the aforesaid cavity, and a second permanent magnet on the pen is situated at a short distance from the tip end of the pen and the annular magnet; the magnetic polarities of the second magnet are orientated in an opposite direction to the polarities of the annular magnet so that the two magnetic fields interact to draw the pen towards the bottom of the base and to laterally support it in an upright position.
