Keith,

Here is an article from Richard Binder's website that gives some info about Newman Pens.
RichardsPens.com • Fountain Pens by Richard Binder

I was fortunate to attend a seminar at the Atlanta Pen Show in 2003 where Mr Hickman described the manufacture of his Newman Pens. One of the things he did was make an acrylic pen blank material that had actual gold dust and real pearl powder in the mixture. Everything he did was very high end. If I remember correctly his daughter was a principal inthe business with him. He was a very impressive man.

You may be able to find out some additional information from Howard Levy at Bexley Pens. He mentioned at the seminar that he had a business relationship there.

Sadly as I was doing a search on Jim Hickman I located the following
