A couple of 50 year old drum badges

[Jjartwood]

I have built inlay kits of guitars,piano's,violins,etc. but I am a drum player and I have found no good kits for drummers.
While at a drum show I found these two (actually found others but have not built pens for them yet) vintage drum badges.
The badges are placed over a carbon fiber looking material on the top and the bottom of the pen reflect the different finishes I've had on my drum sets in the past. They will probably never sell but I like them so I won't be heart broken if I have to keep them
Thanks for looking
Mark.
C&C welcome

Mark; Very clever idea and a great keepsake for someone who has played drums. Pearls go perfect for the pen. Jim S

That's pretty cool! I had Slingerland and Rogers sets when I was much younger

Has anyone ever thought of taking broken drum sticks and making a pen? Possibly from your favorite band?

Wow! I think they are great! To the right buyer, those could sell big.

Very nice pens and a great idea. Your fit and finish is top notch.

Yes....tried to use a nylon tipped stick for the nib end. It was a cheap chinese stick, and the wood was awful. Did not work well, and have not been inclined to try it with a nice Vic Firth.....

Haven't tried pens from "sticks" but have made keyrings with old ones.

As a drummer in a past life, I really like these pens with the badges. Great idea with the pearl blanks.

What are the badges for - I'm not familiar with them? One of them seems to be from something in Illinois.

Thanks for showing.
