Blue Casein Majestic

[mrburls]

I haven't made many pens lately but this is a beauty. Made of vintage casein, blue striped color on a full size Majestic roller ball. This is one I will add to my collection unless the price is right.
Thanks for looking, Keith "mrburls"

That is a beauty.

Beautiful! Nice clean look. That is is a pen to keep.

 

[Sappheiros]

That's a fantastic looking pen! I would carry that around with me to show off!

 

[vakmere]

I'd keep it also. You can look at that pen longer than you will look at the money you'll get for it. Goes right in the curio cabinet with the others.

very nice

I've never seen colored casein---heard they made buttons out of it, but this is a first.

COOL pen, Keith!!!

COOL pen, Keith!!!

Yes Ed they did make buttons from this material. Also know as galalith in Europe.
Both stink just like the white casein most of us are use to turning.
This blue material is from about the 1920's I'm told.

That is an prime example of what a superb pen should look like!
Great match up with a classic Majestic pen!
Well done!

Very nice! Would love to find some blue myself.

Can the white be dyed?

 

[mrburls]

Can the white be dyed?

That I do not know. I never heard of anyone trying to dye casein.

The pen looks fantastic....
I think I've got a couple of cutoffs of casein might have to try dying them..

 

[TonyW]

The blue casein goes well with the chrome, and the small amount of gold trim nicely accents both. It is these colour combinations which form part of my current learning curve!

I'v seen blue and green casein buttons on ebay, but this is a first for me to see other than white in a blank. I guess if you hunt long and hard enough there's no telling what you can find, truly a keeper.

 

[jttheclockman]

That is a very classy pen for sure. I too have never seen blue. I wonder if the imitation stuff can come in colors???

If you are thinking of selling or keeping, my votes is to keep it unless you have more to make others. Thanks for showing.

 

[Jack Parker]

That is a beauty, great choice of kit to go with a special blank. Great work!!

 

[Terredax]

I'm a sucker for blue, and that is definitely a beautiful pen.
Isn't casein made from milk?

 

[brownsfn2]

That is really nice. I bought some green Casein at one point and it is just beautiful stuff. I really like the blue. You did a great job with it!

If you have more I am sure you would have buyers for your material.

 

[TonyL]

All I can find are buttons.....

Maybe this will be the next big thing!

 

[ladycop322]

Stunning. In AWE!

 

[TonyL]

Maybe we can learn to make it?

 

[flyitfast]

Keith, you have an impressive "stash" of blanks. This blank with that kit is gorgeous and classic. Thanks for showing.
