[PenWorks]

While most of you have been enjoying the start to your holiday, I have been humping it in the shop doing some prodution turning. I have a week long show at the Barrett-Jackson auto auction starting Jan 13th. So I started replacing my inventory from the Christmas rush. This came out of the shop in the last two days.

Thanks for looking Have a favorite ?? Which one ??

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yeeowsa!

Those are fabulous! You sure do good work.

If I had to chose a favorite it would be 4th from the right.

 

[PenWorks]

You win Bob ! (I don't know what) [] that came from Ed4copies, the stuff he imported from England.
Not sure what it is called, some type of horn, I think.

 

[Oahunative]

Above and Beyond Expectations .... I'm humbled.

What's the going rate for one of these?

Nice .... Very Nice.

Anthony, they're all fabulous!!! So, are you going to barter a Duesenberg for one of your pens? The pen may yield a higher value. Good luck at the show.

Actually Peter, this would be my first choice
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In_AuctionID=221&In_LotNumber=1528
my second choice
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In_AuctionID=221&In_LotNumber=928

I always wanted a Cameo P/U, almost bought one about 10 years ago, mint for 12K, I still regret it.

From the right, 4,9 & 10 are from Ed4copies. They are like a PR rod,
4 & 9 are white horn and 10 is briarwood resin. The phoney briarwood looks really good. (I never thought I would say that) [] #3 is CSU accetate & #5 is cumberland ebonite, all others are Tru Stone.

Thanks for the comments.

 

[clewless]

I remember those Pickups, but don't remember ever seeing one without rusted out headlights, dented bed and u shaped tailgate []

Oh, and I forgot the hole in the floorboard covered with cardboard to trap the unwary.

 

[ashaw]

Anthony

Joe, sounds like you saw my 58 Apache pannel truck I drove to school []

 

[Ligget]

Great work Anthony, my favourite is the green pen an the right. I love those old pick-ups too![]

 

[Glenn McCullough]

Great yield from a days work! I like the 4th from the left and second from the right, but with these, everybody wins.

 

[ctEaglesc]

If you are refering to the PR rods, I thnk Mazecraft
If you are refering to the pens, my elfs.
If it is something else, it went over my head.

 

[ctEaglesc]

I was just busin yer chops Penchetta[]

 

[thetalbott4]

Who made them?

Thats funny right there. Beautiful stuff Anthony. Are you finding the Imperial is selling better or just a kit you prefer personally?

I should have known []

<b> MERYY CHRISTMAS </b>

 

[PenWorks]

Scott, the Imperial sells better that the Lotus, but the Statesmen still out sells both of the put together 10 to 1

 

[thetalbott4]

Scott, the Imperial sells better that the Lotus, but the Statesmen still out sells both of the put together 10 to 1

Same results here. I thought the jr emp would be a contender but it's not even close.

 

[PenWorks]

I would like to think CSU puts a little bit of research into their kit designs, vs just buying what someelse has designed and wants to sell them. But I never heard of them asking for any input from any pen makers. So the results are funny looking front sections and high end kits that don't sell all that well. I still think the Statesmen is the best kit & value. But that is JMO

 

[Jim in Oakville]

Great Looking Pens Anthony,

I wish you well at the sale-auction, but I know you don't need any luck, eh![]

I have similar experience, the Lotus does not sell well, the Imperial does sell but not as well as the Statesman.

Merry Christmas Anthony, my best to your family.[]

I'll be in Deer Valley twice in January, perhaps I can slip out on the Carefree Hwy and see you again. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

 

[reef12]

Favorite one you say.

How about all of them.

Gosh those all are Beautiful.

Great job

 

[NavyDiver]

All are fantastic. I like the second one from the left [].

 

[cueman]

Nice high ends! I have to say that it's between the two on the far right for me. []

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

[wdcav1952]

Anthony,

It has already been said a bunch of times, but that is a beautiful bunch of pens!!

Buon Natale,

 

[punkinn]

The far left one is my favorite. Yumm! Have fun at Barrett Jackson; pick me up a nice old Ferrari Dino coupe or an Aston DB4 or something while you're there, hmm? []
