It’s that time again – and here’s the newest pen for the raffle. It’s made from a celluloid that was given to me about a year ago, and I haven’t been sure what I wanted to do with it until today.

Raffle will end June14.

Raffle tickets are $10 each. All you have to do to buy a ticket is send $10 to newtonpenspay@gmail.com using paypal. When you buy a ticket you’ll be given a number based on the order that you bought it. If you’re the 3rd person to buy a raffle ticket, then you’ll be #3, and so on.

I’ll use a random number picker and will have it pick from the numbers available. So if only 32 people buy tickets, the number picker will pick from 1-32.

So if all that sounds good then you can buy as many raffle tickets as you want payable through paypal to newtonpenspay@gmail.com. Be sure not to send payment to my other email address.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I’ll get back with you asap.

This purchase is not tax deductible.

Thanks.
Shawn

OH! And since summer is here, every pen you buy will have a portion of the money sent directly into the scholarship fund to join the money made from raffling pens off each month. This will help to grow the scholarship and help more students achieve their college goals. Each scholarship recipient will get a pen and a couple bottles of ink of course. http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g
$20 from each sale will be sent to the scholarship fund.

I also mentioned that I wanted to make the scholarship available nationwide. Here’s the application. http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g

So if I get this right I have to PayPal the money and email you when I've wired the money and THEN you'll give me a number /ticket?

Sweeeet! That is one beautiful pen! I can't wait to ink it up and proudly carry it! I never win anything, maybe I should finally give in and get a lotto ticket! Thanks Shawn, for the great work you do to help kids improve their lives!

If #18 can feel that way, I guess #9 is allowed, too...

Congratulations & enjoy the pen. Nice to know it's for a good cause.

I've already started on the next raffle pen. Partly as a prototype for making a certain shape on the metal lathe, and partly just to use up this interesting acrylic that I was given. It's a translucent gray with white streaks in it. Very pretty stuff. Can't wait to show it off. :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
