What is this pen and where to get it.

I saw this and liked the kit, I want to make on w for myself but can't find the exact thing. Anyone have any idea what this is?

I sure to give the original turner credit

CSUSA Retro. PSI sells it too, forget the name though.

Which reminds me, someone used to sell filagrees for those. Does anybody still sell those?

Can't find it at crafts supplies. Where is the cheapest place to get these things anyhow?

Sorry, it's the "Americana":

I think it's Rockler that calls it the Retro.

I used to like this design until I saw it at Walmart for $5.97.

Crud, anything else similar for a good pocket pen that stands out from usual slimlines. Cigar pens are nice but a bit big for some people.

Bear tooth woods, berea, etc.

The PSI version is called an Executive - available in 24K, satin, and rhodium. I get mine from Woodturningz. (Also comes as a pencil.)

I don't know....it's also in the Spring issue of Fountain Pen Hospital
Parker makes it and it's $300.00 :biggrin:

If you want to just try one and there's a Wood Craft near you they carry it and it's called a Retro. Only difference is it has a CB coupler and two short tubes. I just press the tubes together and turn off the CB then drill one long blank. To me it looks much better as a single barrel.
It does make a nice pocket pen altho it's a tad small for my hands.
Wood Craft only carries the 24k gold and chrome. I stocked up on a bunch of Chrome last month while the were 20% off. They look really nice with the different "Plastics" and resins.

Arizona Silhouette's Biscayne is a nice alternative to a slimline.
