Paying Homage to the pens of old

[Brooks803]

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

Next up is a mini version of the previous pen. Same materials, just shorter with posting threads.
