Bexley Owners Club Pens Amber

Bexley Owners 2007 Club Pens Amber
This pen is made from twelve pieces of hard rubber, which are fitted together around nine rings. (Notice that the different segments do not line up, a sure sign that each was assembled separately.) Each piece is polished before gluing and assembly, giving the effect of a soft rippling texture in the hand. Segments of bamboo have a similar concavity between the nodes. The subtle concave shape is achieved by polishing each segment on a mandrel.

The rollerball clip, popular on many of the OMAS pens dating back to the early 1930's, was originally designed and manufactured by the Boston Safety Pen Company (BSPC). In 1917 Wahl Pen Company purchased BSPC and the rights to the rollerball clip patent. Wahl-Eversharp made extensive use of this clip throughout the 20's and 30's. We believe that the rollerball clip keeps coming back because of its splendid utility. While it holds the pen firmly in the pocket, it slides easily on and off.

In the tradition of fountain pens from the the late 19th century (early 20th century) this pen is made of hard rubber. It has GFT bands and clip, and a cartridge/converter filling system. It is 5.19 inches long capped and weighs 26.6 grams.
	Each of the 18K two-tone top grade German made, Bock nibs is hand set by Howard Levy. And of course, we test write each pen with ink on paper and adjust them to the specifications that you prescribe. We can offer this pen with a variety of point sizes: Fine, Medium, Broad and Stub, (seen to the left). The Stub is particularly well suited to our cursive italic customization with writing widths anywhere up to 1.3 mm.(This is wider than the equivalent of a Pelikan double broad point.)
Very few pens made today reveal the quality of hand work and material seen in this pen. The individual edition number is engraved on the gripping section. We have some matching numbers with the Mahogany.

This hard rubber wood grain is very similar to that used by Waterman's in the teens and 1920's in their famous "wood grain" pens. It has a subtly and complexity not seen in plastics. The pen is provided with a lovely warm brown leatherette presentation case lined with tan suede.
