found this link in a magazine ad, interesting links to all pen manufacturers, could give some ideas....and it show just how much pens can cost...WOW www.penstore.biz
This quote from the page that has the $4,500 pens (that don't look half as nice as the pens by people like Penworks, btboone, and YoYoSpin (Ed Davidson).
Humble pen? Yeah, whatever.
BTW, check out the "Yard o lead" pens. Very nice. The Dean of Students here at the Seminary has one--- solid sterling--- very nice carving detail, a very well made pen--- heavier than an Emperor made from snakewood, too!
Check out this store in NYC.. I have one of their catalogs from a few years back.. I think I have seen multiple pens by multiple turners on this site every bit as nice as anything in this store..
$4,500 for a pen is no big deal. Mont Blanc had a very limited edition pen that $170,000 and Loiminchay had a limited edition of 10 hand-carved jade pens that were $250,000 each, IIRC.
