Description
Throughout history sailing has been instrumental in the development of civilization, affording mobility for trade, transport, warfare, and fishing. Though it’s greatest contribution has been to the many great explorations in the world. This pen captures the romance and adventure of old sailing ships. It has a captivating scene engraved on the tip of a grand tall ship, while the top cap is embellished with the captain’s wheel and compass. Nautical rope accents can be found throughout and encircling the detailed Anchor clip, which given it’s history, is considered a symbol of well-grounded hope. Plus, with its rich, warm copper finish and dark antique highlights, the details of this pen will surely impress.
Ash wood was used for this pen as it resembled scrimshaw. Scrimshaw is derived from the practice of sailors on whaling ships creating common tools, where the byproducts of whales were readily available. The term originally referred to the making of these tools, only later referring to works of art created by whalers in their spare time. Whale bone was ideally suited for the task, as it is easy to work and was plentiful.
Replacement Parker Style ink refill is done by carefully pulling the metal tip away from the wooden body. The metal mechanism is then unscrewed to reveal the refill inside. These refills can be found at most stationers.
You’ll also receive a Certificate of Authenticity with each pen ordered.
