Bulkfiller Kingsize Prototype In "lapis Bleu" Celluloid.

[fountainbel]

Hi fountain pen friends !

Just finished a Kingsize Bulkfiller prototype in a astonishing bleu “speckled” celluloid.

The dark bleu base color is speckled with white an light brown spots.

Unfortunately this pen will most probably remain” one of a kind” since I only had material to make one pen.

I really love this material, in my opinion its even more beautiful as the famous Tibaldi Impero.

As far as I know this celluloid originates from Visconti being named “ lapis bleu ",

Most probably not available on the regular market..

Would love to find more of this exquisite material !

Best regards,

Francis

Wonderful pen! The ink window goes with the material quite well.

I think this is the material Pelikan made for their "Originals of Their Time" series of pens. I think Delta also used it for a run of pens.

 

I believe the Visconti lapis has gold/ brown portions instead of white.

 

Either way, a lovely pen and another tease. I personally still like the Tibaldi Impero bilkfiller pens better... it's probably why I have 2 of them.

Hi Zaddick,

Thanks or your input on the origin of the celluloid !

I've looked at the celluloid Pelikan and Delta used, but it looks the celluloid I've used is effectively originating from Visconti. See the attached Visconti picture.

Absolutely stunning Francis! I hope you can find more of this beautiful material... (it would complement my celluloid Bulkfillers rather well, don'tcha think? )

[PanchoElizalde]

GRat and beautiful pen, my sincere congratulations.

This was also the celluloid used in the Kaweco Combimatic, no?

It's a wonderful pen and the material is so beautiful. Congratulations Francis, another winner.

Gorgeous. What nib is that? Unbranded #8 Bock..?

OOOOH. Very nice!

OMG if you ever do a run of coloured Kingsizes I believe my resolve with certainly crumble....holding on just because not a fan of demonstrators and have enough black pens

Wow! Very, very nice!

[rpsyed]

Wow! That looks absolutely incredible. Too bad there's no more material left.

 

I do wonder though: Now that Delta is going out of business, is there any indication of what will happen to Delta's stock of celluloid? Will there be a liquidation sale like with Omas?

 

Delta's Pompeii celluloid and their brown cracked ice celluloid were gorgeous. Maybe some penmaker(s) will be able to get some of those rods. A Kingsize Bulkfiller in one of Delta's celluloid materials would be hard to resist.

Hi Francis,

This one is beautiful and has potential !!!

It make me think a bit to the Rotring 1928, but with even better appearance

Also to the "Flanders Field" pen which was limited.

See also my request/proposal at the hard rubber pen's fir a carbon or stainless line.

A hot hit again...

Francis you never fail to create beauty. Its just a shame it wont make it to the masses.

[AGxM]

Just a quick question, what happens to the prototypes?

[zaddick]

He keeps then all in cases and occasionally tortures us with photos of the whole lot.
