You know, I've never turned any of it(generally I'm too cheap to buy it) but I'm thinking I need to break down and find a stick to try. I like it.
 
THAT was the batch that WAS!!!

We had no idea how rare that find actually was.

GREAT Pen--price it high, it can't be replaced. (so far)
 
Ed the one thing I've never been accused of is underpricing my pens:wink:. When you had them I stocked up, know a good thing when I see it. Robert, the picture never left, you need to stop drinking that gator juice:rolleyes::biggrin:.
 
That is gorgeous!!! They (Exotic) had some green swirl Bakelite a while back, and I kept putting it off to buy piece. Kicking myself now seeing all these beautiful pens popping up on the site...:mad::redface:

Dawn is constantly "shopping" for bakelite. Recently, she got a good "haul", she thought. When it was delivered, most of it has a hairline crack right down the center. So, that investment (hundreds of dollars) went "down the tubes" (at least until I can figure a way to make MY pens from it).

In short, if you buy bakelite, it is fifty years old!!! Buy from Roy or Dawn or Gary and others here and you will get usable pieces. Buy from "online sellers" that you don't know and you can get a "turning challenge"---or worse!

Just a "word to the wise". Take it or leave it!
