Kevin, for a moment I thought you were selling my favourite pen, then realized it's a twin of mine.

Whoever will get the Mikado will be very happy with it (the 149 and the CS too, of course...).

Wish you a successfull raffle, it's for a good cause (pity I cannot deduct....).

I know not quite 24hrs yet, but can you guess which pen is leading the pack and which one is trailing behind?

 

Kevin

[PenandDesign]

Is it the Dani? It looks stunning.

Edited May 7, 2013 by PenandDesign

[Brian C]

Montblanc is leading the pack.

[winedoc]

Believe it or not, as of this moment, Danitrio is leading the pack, followed by Conway Stewart... Montblanc is REALLY lagging behind. I mean, if you really want a Montblanc in this pristine condition... well you just might get lucky! Odd I know, especially we are not talking about the newer ones with plastic feeds. Go figure.

 

Kevin

[JLS1]

It would be a tossup between the Dani and the 149 for me. I have to check and see if the tax deduction works in Canada...

[winedoc]

Please check the first post routinely as I will update situations in RED

 

Thanks!

[winedoc]

I saw these kids test fired the frisbee from this machine last night. And yeah this thing moves. Pretty cool, as I know nothing about robotics.

IMHO, in light of everything that Kevin has done for the pen community, I think it is apropos that we return the favour by supporting this cause. The amount of your gift is not relevant - if a good number of FPN members and from other boards each make a small contribution it will soon add up to large sum of money.

 

I will be sending my gift after I post this.

 

For Canadians like me, you should make your gift in the expectation that it will not likely qualify for the non-refundable donations tax credit. Of course, you should confirm this with your tax advisors who are familiar with your particular circumstances.

Thanks Mike for your support and kind words. As a father, I want to do what I can to support my daughter's interests especially in a group of 20 or so students, there are only 3 female students! They will also be going to local Junior high schools to show case their machines and hopefully get more students, and especially girls interested in science and technology!

 

My Sincere thanks to all folks whom have supported this crazy idea of mine.

Can't believe the Montblanc still trailing the other two by a wide margin... this means, better odds for someone :-)

Anyway, I have to change the closing date to 5/31/13 and my original post updated. This is because the SF Pen Posse will meet on weekend of 6/8 and want to make sure folks sending check has time to mail in their donation. Thanks again.

If you are standing a check to day, just make sure you PM me so I can get you on the list while waiting for the checks to arrive. Thanks again for everyone's support.

 

I have also decided to give out free pen gifts to non-winners who donnated $25 or more.
