I saw this in person today. And while Jonathon is really good at taking pictures, the real deal is even better!

Not to steal J's thunder but it is what he calls "Fakelite" PR poured to look like the real deal. And it is MIGHTY fine looking stuff too.

Lol...you're not stealing any thunder Hans. I'm trying to think up a better name than "fakelite" though....but "alternative 1930's vintage plastic redone in modern medium" just takes too long to say
So yes, this is PR. Silmar 41 to be exact. Cast by me to resemble vintage bakelite with the translucent colors and whispy swirls inside.

Jonathon,
To produce a pen blank of such class is a great acheivement, the spirited blues are exciting.
I have never cast a pen only admired some pens that are cast being extremely partial to novelty blanks made by the masters on this site.
Coming from the era when fountain pens were those must have items that incidentally caused so much grief with wrecked shirts, ink run outs, perished bladders they are a little like button up boots were for my Dad born in 1906 lived to 2001.
Retro appearances succeed on their merits your pen needs only a family name since reproducing identicals is unlikely a unique name. There is alot to learn from "The good old days" a lot to forget as well.
Viewing your pen over and over as I have and not so many pens command this it is outstanding in its own right with the privilige it deserves. Forecasting continuous success for your pen making is certain with your attention to detail showing through. You sure moved Hans both in replies to holding it and admiring.
There are oportunities for reflection bask in it with your pen then go for the next special blank. Have success.
Kind regards Peter.
