Newton Pens - November Scholarship Pen!


Newton Pens

Recommended Posts

Here’s the next pen up for raffle.

 

It's a slim 45 Series Elizabethan with a #6 nib. These pens are JUUUUST big enough for the #6 nib. :) Looks good too.

 

The white ends are made from a creamy alternate ivory acrylic and the barrel material is some of Bob’s Alumilite. I started turning this one yesterday morning just to see how it would turn out and I have to say I’m blown away. So It’s going to be a raffle pen.

If this pen doesn't strike your fancy, then you can have a custom pen made up just for you.
If you win - you don't have to wait long as the raffle pen will get made soon after the raffle ends.

The nib choice is totally up to the winner. You can choose steel, any tip size, any grind, or 14k or 18k gold, any tip size, any grind. The winner will have the option of taking the gold nib with the cost coming out of the raffle winnings, paying for the gold nib, or taking a steel nib.

6 tickets sold! Thanks everybody!

 

Also want to let everybody know the green on the barrel threads is buffing compound and when the pen is washed all that will be gone. I stole these photos real quick this morning as I was getting the kids ready for school - no time for a bath. :) I'll include more and better pics when the cap is finished. ;)

Beautiful! Count me in.

I've also updated more of the info -

If you win, you don't have to wait in line, you get bumped. The raffle pens are always made soon after the raffle ends.

 

Good luck!

      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
