[ed4copies]

ENDS SUNDAY, 2-22, AT 8:30 PM---EST--USA


You will become a Brownsfn too (play on words there) when you put these beautiful paua shell blanks on two (to be clear, there are TWO sets pictured) of your Junior Statesmen or Junior Emperors!!
(Will also fit Atrax, Triton Fountain or Junior Gentleman, Junior Retro, Venus--a very VERSATILE set, these days)

These will make any pens suitable for VERY EXPENSIVE "high end" (just below stratosphere) PENS!!

Junior pair number 1:

But THAT is only HALF of the story!!
Here is the second set, you are bidding for:

As the IAP grows, some of the artists have "made a few bucks" by selling their pen blanks!! Now, Ron Robbins is taking this opportunity to "give back" to the IAP!! Along with his Donation Drawing prize, he offers two 'lots" to the auction. Best way to say thanks is to bid HIGH!! As is ALWAYS the case, the IAP is the WINNER!!!

Jump in guys------these will make some SWEEEEEEET pens!!!!

Notice the flow of the pattern is consistent, each seam is straight and there are no gaps. In short, these have fantastic execution!!

Who will start the bidding at $50, please?
