For sale: Five of the retired ACME Homer (Simpson) Limited Edition Rollerball Pens. Four of these are brand new still in sealed wrapper and one is ANIB (only opened for inspection). $1,250 plus shipping and insurance for set of all five rollerballs. These rollerballs can be converted to fountain pens. Will not separate set.
These five pens match up an American icon, Homer Simpson, with renowned fine art figures. Matt Groening, creator of the Simpsons has his [reproduced] signature is on each pen, "The Simpsons" logo is imprinted on each cap band, and "ACME" is on each clip. Each pen is a limited edition of only 1,000 - with the edition number engraved on the back of the cap band. Each rollerball is 5 3/8" long with the cap closed.
Set includes the below listed Acme Studio Simpsons pens including black rollerball refill, literature and a custom Simpsons metal presentation box. Each pen is set up as a rollerball, but can be converted to a fountain pen.
When ACME Studio was invited to develop pens featuring the Simpsons, they jumped at the opportunity, but only if they could release something that would stand out among the various Simpsons Tie-ins. These artist themed Simpsons designs were among the results.
-The “Homer’s 15 Minutes” (LE# 0081/1000) rollerball was released in 2003 and is in the style of Andy Warhol's design of 15 Minutes of Fame. (This is the pen that has been opened)
-The "Homey Lichtenstein" (LE# 0703/1000) rollerball was released in 2004 in the Ben-Day dot style of Pop Artist, Roy Lichtenstein.
-The "Homer’s Scream" (LE# 0133/1000) rollerball was released in 2005 and is in the style of the Norwegian Symbolist artist Edvard Munch's painting The Cry [or Scream].
-The "Homerain" (LE# 0231/1000) rollerball, released in 2006, pen parodies Golconda, a painting from the Belgian surrealist, René Magritte with Homer's picture.
-The "Homer Peel" (LE# 0338/1000) rollerball was released in August of 2007 and is portrayed after M.C. Escher's "Bond of Union" painting.
