I got some of this checker material in that I was told was over 80 years old but it only came in 1/2 inch so I had to choose another color for the cap.

You did a very nice job on this, threads are nice and clean looking and I like both the clip and cap that you chose to go with it. It looks like it just belongs together - I think that is what to shoot for!!! Excellent :biggrin:

This is one of my favorites of the pens you have shown. Love the material and the lines. Do you have a picture with the pen capped?

Very nice pen. I never made fountain pen. Is the cap suppose to be bigger then bottom?

Thanks
Most of the older pens always had a larger cap than the body as the cap went over the body.

Thank you very much.
It was very hard to find a material that would go with the older plastic but my wife picked this one out.

I agree, great fit on the two different mediums! Nice looking pen. Is it a "keeper" or for someone?
Keep up the great work.

Nice choice. I like the colors of both the material for the body and the cap color. Looks like a very nice pen.
I love that checker material...it's too bad you don't have more, or I'd suggest another one with a black cap.
Great looking stuff!

Chris,
That is fantastic. I really like the shape. Threads are as crisp as they can be. Terrific job.

Looks great and I love the shape of your tail finial. Is the cap postable? I love these vintage materials, and just got a few rods myself of different designs. I believe they are cellulose acetate.

Thank you very much
They are all keepers for a while and then I let them move on if anyone needs to buy it.

Ahh but I do have 22 inches left and I was thinking black would look great as well. The only thing I then is, do I do the cap 100% black or do I do a different jewel. I worry that an all black might be to much black or I guess I could get rid of the black blind cap and just fill the end with a black dot as the material has a hole through the middle. Any idea's?

Thank you
It does post but I don't like to post the pens as I think that it ends up scratching the body of the pen.
