Jr. Emperor question

[MobilMan]

Hope I'm not asking too much but would like an idea what a Jr. Emperor Rollerball Rhodium/24KGold with Buffalo horn would sell for. Or asking price. Getting ready to make one in the next day or two. It'll be my first Emperor. Looks easy enough, & the horn turns about the same as antler as best I can remember. Made one into an European about two years ago. Just wondering what a decent asking price would be. Thank you

Start in about the $200 range. Depending on how it looks, move up from there.

I get $180.00 for Emperor and Jr. Emp. I consider buffalo horn an "exotic" blank and add $30.00. Add another $30.00 if it is a fountain pen, put on a 14K nib, then I add another $100.00. Hope this helps.

You can go much higher... why not have a Bison ingraved on it?

Buffalo horn can crack. Careful how you store and move it.

My price would be around $300 and I don't make Jr. Emperor Rollerballs, only fountains. Add $100 for gold nib.

DAMHIKT!!!

Guess I'm on the lower end, price wise..... depending on material, I've sold in the $125 to $225 range for the Jr Emperor, rollerball version.

Lyle,

That's about where I put the Jr. Statesman FWIW

Appreciate all the answers. Have some ideas now, anyway. Thanks, Dick
