AUCTION #6: Scott Greaves Fountain Pen ENDS About 9pm ET on Friday FEB 26th

[profile=Scott]Scott Greaves[/profile], co-founder of the IAP, has again donated a beautiful commercial pen from his private collection. This year he has sent an Omas Ogiva with a custom ground stub nib, in the original box with paperwork. THANK YOU, SCOTT!

Here are Scott's comments on this pen:
Omas is a premium Italian pen maker whose designs have been displayed in art museums. The Ogiva is a long, slim, torpedo shaped pen that both looks and feels racy! It is made from a jet black resin, then a guilloche pattern of long grooves was machined into the surface. The ink mechanism is a piston fill. The nib is 18K and began life as a medium. I later had it ground to a stub. It is a juicy writer with lots of character, and should be a wonderful daily writer for some lucky member of my penturning family. I have included the original box and paperwork. I recommend a nice black ink such as Noodlers.

NOTE: This is not a new commercial pen. It's from Scott's personal collection. There are a very few (two that I could find) blemishes on this pen from gentle use.

Lets try 150
No secret codes this time around, since on a prior auction I got my fingers slapped (gently, and in a kind and nurturing manner which was intended to instruct, not punish) for playfully encoding my bid in a way that called for THE secret decoder ring to decipher.
 
Thank you Vic!
We have $215, who wants to take it to $243.84 or $______

Steve Thank You for the bid of $240 !

Is this fabulous pen going to follow that IAP bowl filled with chocolate?

Do we hear $265 out there? ​
 
Remember folks, it's not often someone will get an opportunity to own a pen that came from one of the folks who started this entire community that we all enjoy so much. Feel free to raise any bid you see here.​
