Kitless celebration

[stuckinohio]

Here's a kitless clicker I just finished. I put it on the backburner for a while to work on other stuff. It's vintage Cebloplast Celebration with a Schmidt click mechanism. The nose cone was turned from solid brass rod. The clip is a teardrop.

I'm not in love with the top of the pen where the clicker threads in. I'm working on another kitless clicker and I used a different technique at the top and it is perfect.It will look more "finished". I was going to chamfer the end to meet the diameter of the clip as I have before, but the clip is so thin and wont leave much material at the top.

You're making progress.

Not that you have to share, but did you arrive at the pricing for this style?

Great work!

I am interested in making my own parts also. But that is down the road a bit.

Well, I'm selling this to a friend who buys lots of pens, so I decided on $40 to them. I will sell them to friends who don't but lots of pens for $60. I would sell them to others for $80. That's with the vintage material for the body. With a regular alumilite blank, I'd probably charge $10 less, except in the case of the $40 friends. It would remain at $40.

Hank, there's no time like the present! I kick myself in the butt for not staying earlier.
