Won by TomT!! Paua shells sierra, triton

[ed4copies]

This will end at 9:30 PM Sunday
Eastern Standard (New York) Time


Once again, I have the privilege of showing you the work of Ron Robbins!!

This "lot" consists of two sierra and one triton (rollerball, fountain) pen blanks. Again, these are Ron's handiwork---seams are perfect, patterns match at the seams---painstaking precision!!!

And the grand finale!!!!

This Triton set!!!

Remember, these are cast in clear resin. When you see distortion, it is the resin reflecting light in strange angles. The blanks will make perfect pens!!

We can start the bidding at $50, but I don't think it will stay there long!!!

[toddlajoie]

I'll hit it for $50, but I know it will quickly leave my budget behind!!!

[Karl_99]

I'm in for $125.

 

[Tom T]

Well it's early in the line up I'll go $150.00

 

[SteveG]

Can't just sit on the sideline...$175. I could set them next to the mug, if I had the mug.:tongue:

 

[eajacobson]

An auction I've been to before it has gone stratospheric.

$200 seems like the bid I should make.

[hcpens]

I am out of the running, unless no one else bids, then I will honor my bid. This get's to addicting, I am having a great time though.

 

[ed4copies]

Richard is "in"

at

$275​

 

[Tom T]

I would like to bid more. But Richard is from Texas and they have big pockets in Texas. So I don't know if I can keep up.

 

[magpens]

Tom, if I understand Richard correctly, you could outbid him with a little increase and he wouldn't challenge your bid

 

[Tom T]

Mal,
Thank you for that thought. I think Ed said these auctions end tomorrow so there is a little more time.

 

[ed4copies]

Tomorrow EVENING!

Lots of time yet,

See you all in the afternoon, again!!

 

[hcpens]

Sorry Tom. I guess you don't watch the news. Gas has gone up and the wells are shut down, because them %^$# overseas person's dropped the price of a barrel of oil below what my grand pappy could get ours out of the ground for.

So $275.01 will take the bid! Well HELL (oops, sorry) I 'll even kick the wife to throw in the plug nickel to cover the extra if your short.:biggrin:eace:

 

[stonepecker]

....... Well HELL (oops, sorry) I 'll even kick the wife to throw in the plug nickel to cover the extra if your short.:biggrin:eace:

If I said something like this on the IAP (or anywhere else) ......I know who would get KICKED!!! You da man Richard. Texas has nothing to do with it.
Any guy who can make that kind of a statement and walk upright the next day has my respect. :handshake::bananen_smilies046:

 

[Tom T]

He could now be in the ER. And had to drive himself. LOL
Richard getting ready for church now. Still time to move it up. My concern is my ability to turn something that beautiful.

Heck, I just out of the ER, had to walk home, in the cold. Now I don't have a lathe, she sold it on ebay. But I have my carvin knife, I think. When's the Auction for for a new lathe gona start?

 

[Tom T]

Richard,
Glad you made it home. Send us some pictures of the new lathe when you get it.
Those blanks will turn nice. If there are no last minute bumps.
Things are quiet on the auction front. You could be a winner.
