Bexley Imperial Hard Rubber |
||
 |
||
| With a nod to Nakaya Pen Company and the simplicity of shape,
Bexley has produced these beautiful streamlined fountain pens. From top to bottom: Violet, Red, and Denim. |

The long gripping section as well as the
extra long barrel make posting the cap unnecessary. It has a
lovely balance in the hand. In another recent first, Bexley
has created this "eyedropper" pen capable of holding
a large part of a bottle of ink. The entire barrel fills. Because
there are no metal parts inside, there is nothing to corrode.
Of course, cartridges or a converter also fit inside the barrel
for a versatile ink use. |

Machined from "wood grain" hard
rubber similar to that used in the 1920's, this is a gorgeous
pen that feels light and smooth in the hand. Hard rubber is
one of the most enduring pen materials. Many of the hard rubber
pens from the early part of the last century are still doing
very well. |

The regular production Imperial is available
at the beginning of August. The only way that one can tell the
difference between the Prototype and the standard production
is the cap lip which is sharp cut on the regular production.
The standard production cap and barrel is almost seamless in
appearance. |
