One for the Boys in Gray

[BKelley]

At first glance, this is just a plain Wall Street II that all of us have turned, not fancy, not spectacular. What sets this one aside is the blank and its source. While installing new headstones in the Unknown Confederate section of Stone Mountain Georgia cemetery where over 200 Unknown Confederate Soldiers lie at rest. I found a nice oak limb that was destined for the landfill. There was enough to salvage 3 pen blanks. I feel honored to own a small piece of this hallowed site.

Nice looking pen and, a good way to honor those soldiers.

Nice pen and a nice story. I like blanks that have a story. Congrats on the find and the recognition to have a pen blank. HWH
