"Cardinal" with Sterling
Silver
|
||||||
 |

This pen captures the size, style and shape
of the elegant writing instruments of the early 1900"s.
Ray Cover created the design and meticulously hand engraved
the clip, cap band and barrel sleeve for each pen.

This is the Sterling Silver over "Cardinal"
cast acrylic model. The cap has a solid cast 10K white gold
clip. The Cardinal color has a long tradition with fountain
pens beginning with the Wahl Company of Chicago in the 1920's
and their highly prized cardinal hard rubber pens.

|
Please note that the effect is much softer
than it appears on this blow up. The pattern takes on the flow
and decoration of thematic bulino style engraving.
|

|
||||||
|
Each pen is 51/4" long with the cap
on. The barrel is 4 1/4" long not including the nib, and
3/8" wide. The section is 1/4" long. The whole pen
weighs 27 grams

Each pen comes in a custom wooden box, hand crafted by wood worker Wally Becker. The material and finishes of the boxes have been selected to complement the finishes of each pen. Click here for his web site. The American Artist Series #1 pen has already sold out. We
imagine that this limited edition #2 pen will go the same
way. Only 18 pieces will be made in each of the two colors.
