Description
This is an unusual pen design inspired by my best selling bolt action pen mechanism, this Gearshift Antique Pewter pen is an ideal gift for any car enthusiast. Whilst Ive made a few of these ‘gearshift’ pens this is the first time Ive incorporated Carbon Fibre as the main body of the pen. I think it fits well as a high tech material as used in super cars to go with this ‘super-pen’
The mechanism design is based on a six-speed H pattern car gear change and can be shifted just like the real thing! Authenticity abounds; The cap features a car tyre with a true to life tread and hubcap. The tip features the same tyre tread as the cap. The gear knob includes an etched five-speed pattern. And the industrialised crowbar clip attaches to the body with two small screws rounds to out the design. The refill fully advances at the front of the shifter and fully retracts at the back of the shifter. The design uses a popular Parker style refill which can be accessed by unscrewing the tip to reveal the refill. Replacement is simply a reverse of the process.
