Well, my two cents is this......... The Franklin blanks were killer blanks, top notch in every sense and I can't wait to get my lathe fired up to turn a few of them. The Washingtons appear to be the same quality BUT......the mystique is not the same.
Imagine someone picking up a Franklin and you tell them.... "YEP, I make my pens from real 100 dollar bills!"
Telling them.... "Yep, I make my pens from real dollar bills!" while neat, just doesn't sound as cool or as valuable!
Just a thought!
