What Company Had A Copy Of Einstein's Dna In It?

Recommended Posts

Hi. I am looking for a fountain pen made in the late 90's. The company made some unusual limited edition pens: There was a pen that they made with a copy of Einstein's DNA in the top of the cap. I think it had a small glass globe there. Another pen that I recall had some sort of nautical ship or submarine window on the top of their pen as well. It is hard to recall but I think it had some pipes on the outside design of the pen and it had a gold metallic finish. My question basically is, what company made these? Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance :).

I recall reading about a pen made by Krone (a company that has some unique pens) that had a bit of paper from one of his written formulas encapsulated on the cap, but not DNA.

 

As for the nautical pen, could you be thinking of the Titanic DNA pen?

I wonder how well the grip is sealed in this pen. it would be ironic if the nib dried out when not used!

I only wonder what would happen if it were dropped on the ground or in water. You think it would float? Sorry, I could not help myself from thinking about this.

 

This is the Titanic DNA pen mentioned above. I kind of like the design better but I know this would probably sink :P.

      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..

      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
