Bexley Imperial In Purple Haze

[StyloBug33]

I bought this off ebay a couple of weeks ago. It is a limited color run of this pen in this material. It is an acrylic material in cream with purple pearl swirls in it. It is very interesting and I really like it. I put in what I thought was a very low bid and never actually expected to win it, but I am very glad I did. It is a large pen, but feels great and writes beautifully.

Has anyone else seen other pens in this material? It is very different. My husband said it looks like a Picasso painting and now I seem to be thinking of him whenever I write with it.

I can also see the Picasso in it, it's very handsome though I can't help you with similar pens. May I request a picture of it next to a Lamy Safari or other common pen for a size reference? I am thinking of picking one up to go with my Poseidon Magnum II.

 

Thanks,

 

Venator.

You might want to take a look at this thread https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/293458-purple-ash-acrylic-looks-like/ But then, Picasso is a much better description than was made here.

Ted A, thank you for the link. It certainly looks like the same material.

 

Here is a comparison, for size, of the Bexley next to a Lamy All-Star.

Great looking pen! I am especially fond of Bexley's nibs. Congratulations!

Much appreciated, thank you. A good size, I will pick one up in a week if they are still available.

Do Bexley nibs differ from other JoWo nibs? I had assumed that they would be factory standard and identical to any other JoWo nib.

Mr. Levy has also sold Poseidon Magnum Prototypes in this material
