I've always been an admirer of vintage pen styles and design. I think it goes without saying that it was my main inspiration for these. Even though I didn't copy any pen in particular I'm really happy with the look and feel in each one.

First up is a custom FP made with vintage cellulose acetate circa 1920's-40's. The cap and finial are black ebonite.

Dimensions:

Overall Length: 6 1/4"
Cap: 2 1/2"
Body + Nib: 5 3/4"

Threads:

Cap/Body: 12mm Triple Start
Body/Section: 10x1mm

Nib & Ink:

Cartridge/Converter

#6 Polished Steel Jowo - F

Cap: 2 1/4"

All absolutely beautifully made!! ( As per usual, of course!! ):biggrin:

I really like that black and gold material in the third one!!!:eek:
 
First I was like, "nice".

Then I was like, "Wow!"

Then I was like, "OH MY GOD!!!"

Then I was like, "Wow.......Again!"

If you can't tell, I love these. They are stand out pieces, and the black and gold stands out among them. Beautiful work, as usual.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words!

The gold acetate is my wife's fav to. She keeps trying to steal it! I'm holding my ground on it though...cause I want it :cool::biggrin:
