Kitless Celluloid Fountain Pens

[luke39uk]

Hello all,

I've been a member of the IAP for a few years and visit the forums most days to keep up to date, and to gain inspiration from the very talented people who post on this forum.

I haven't posted any pictures of my pens for some time, so I thought I'd better remedy the situation.

The pens are my own design and are made from vintage Celluloid, with Ebonite nib sections. I make the cap bands from brass tube and have them plated along with the roller clips and the cap top logo.

The nib is a good quality steel nib made by Jowo-Berliner from Germany and the pen uses a cartridge convertor ink filling system.

I look forward to hearing your comments.

Wow! These are all excellent and a great inspiration to aspiring kitless penmakers.

Love the vintage material, your custom metalwork, and the ebonite sections.

Thanks for sharing! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Hi Bryan, long time no hear!!
Have you stopped using your logo'd clips? Looks like you have replaced them with the custom end cap? Great as usual!!:wink:

I think the gray and black one is my favorite. Good quality work. I can't even imagine being able to do something like that anytime soon.

Hi Skippy good to hear from you, keep coming up with those great ideas. I'm still using the logo clips on my larger Sentinel style fountain pens.I came across the roller clips and thought they would look better with the Celluloid material.

Mark and Lou great to hear from both of you.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments with regard to my pens, I'll try and post some more pens when I get a little time away from my studio/workshop.

Muy bueno, as we say around here. Do you cut your threads with taps and dies or on a metal lathe?

I travel to the UK every two or three years. If I can make my way to Worcester, would you show me how you make your pens? That's impressive!

 

[workinforwood]

Beautiful classic designs. I love them all..thanks for sharing!

 

[johncrane]

Awesome pens Brian! i love the vintage blanks.

 

[Rfturner]

those look great and they remind me of vintage pens, I love the Blue one in the first pic

 

[luke39uk]

Doug the multi-start threads for the cap and barrel are threaded on my Myford metal lathe.

Randall if you are near Worcester in the UK anytime you are welcome to call in and see how the pens are made.
