Blue Vintage Pen Rod and Chrome Twist Pen
This unique material was sourced by two world renowned pen restorers back in the 1990's.
The rod was made in the Le Mans area in France around 80 - 90 years ago. The material is Cellulose Acetate and can be seen on some of the finest vintage fountain pens of the world including Conway Stewart, Mabie Todd and Watermans, to name a few. Modern plastics don't come anywhere near to the depth of colour and warm feel of this material.
Pen #798 was turned on 23rd April 2017 at Marsworth on the Grand Union Canal.
