leprechaun Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 I can’t take much credit. The fine craftsmanship is that of Gerstner in Dayton Ohio. I just dropped in some pen trays. Link to post Share on other sites

sgphototn Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 In the third picture down, what is the first pen on the left, blue with white vines and flowers? It's quite lovely. "Bagpipes are the missing link between music and noise." — E. K. Kruger Link to post Share on other sites
leprechaun Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 It's a Nakaya Piccolo in Chinkin Housoge Kikyo. Strange, doesn't seem to be on the Nakaya website anymore. I got it at Nagasawa in Osaka last year. Not my blog post, as mine is a F: https://scribalishess.wordpress.com/2015/01/24/pensieve-a-grail-pen-in-photos/ Link to post Share on other sites
sgphototn Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks. It's stunning without being gaudy. I like understated richness. "Bagpipes are the missing link between music and noise." — E. K. Kruger Link to post Share on other sites

Audrey_london Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 May I ask where you got your pen trays? I'm the process of converting a jewelry box for pen storage, and was planning to make and line the trays myself but this could be a much easier alternative... Are there any materials to particularly choose/avoid? Link to post Share on other sites

I just dropped in some pen trays. Nice job, though, with the pen trays, and perhaps a bit lucky that they fit the width of the drawers pretty well. When I put pen trays into an old machinist's tool box, the drawer widths were always off by half a slot's worth, and the tray looks sloppy in the drawer. I had to put in a spacer piece so things fit snugly. The chest is appropriately titled "Treasure Chest" by Gerstner. I like that it is not primarily intended to be portable -- it has handles on the sides and corner protectors, but no front cover (which I find gets in the way a lot).

leprechaun Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 It is indeed the “Treasure Chest” in American Cherry. I agree about the lack of a front cover. I do have a matching “1805 Retro” chest for pen repair tools and for other related items. In that case, the front cover and portability are welcome attributes. Link to post Share on other sites
