    Default Little Black Number.

    This is a pen I made for an IAP contest. It didn't place but I think it's cool.


    It is made of Black Ebonite, a Schmidt #5 nib, and takes the standard ink cartridge. Threads are 12mm triple start cap / barrel and 9 x .75mm section / to barrel. Length capped is 3 5/8" (93mm), posted is 5 1/2" (140mm) (if I remembered correctly) and it tips the scale at under 10 grams. This one isn't clipped as it is meant to be carried in a ladies purse. Hides well among the makeup.


    To the best of my knowledge no one has made a pen with this configuration before now, making it compact for carry and a comfortable length for writing.


    Please feel free to express your opinions of my pen.

    Pete

    I like it
    It looks very stylish and clean. When closed it looks some what like a lipstick thing so I could see this in a very classy ladies handbag, At the same time would look good on any blokes desk.
    Well done
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    It does camouflage itself well among the makeup stuff doesn't it?

    Getting close to a perfect design. Just needs that clip and a few of the major pen makers would take it on.
