Bexley Simplicity Bronze |
||
|
The Bexley Simplicity fountain pen reminds
us of those 1920's, flat-topped, banded (once around the barrel
and once around the cap lip) models. The shape is much like
early Parker and Sheaffer's pens. It is constructed with a blind
cap that holds the clip in place and another at the barrel end.
And, of course the roller ball pocket clip is much like the
one used by Wahl-Eversharp in this same period. |

This material, made of acrylic rod stock,
specially designed for this pen color, captures the feel of
the twenties without the problems of disintegrating celluloid.
(From what we know now, acrylic is much more stable than the
plastic pen material of the early days.) |

At 5 1/4" long capped and weighing 20
grams, this is a full-length lightweight fountain pen that will
not tire the hand. The converter holds 1.2 ml of ink, a generous
amount as converters go. |

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 (seen to the left) and Stub. The
Stub nib is particularly well suited to our cursive italic customization
with writing widths anywhere up to 1.2 mm. (This is wider than
the equivalent of a Pelikan double broad point.) |

Think molten bronze flowing in an open mold or, if you are
a cook, of caramel heating on a hot stove. This color like
the Teal Pearl has a pearlescence that gives it dimension.
As it moves in your hand the surface of this fountain pen
appears to recede and advance. Unlike the Cracked Ice and
the Tortoise colors, this pen is too opaque to see the cartridge
or converter. |
