He is a 1940's Parker Display case that I picked up off the bay this year. It was in sad shape when I rec'd it! I did not know there was a lighting system in it, There was no tray for the pens, and there was no back mirror. I fixed all 3 of these items, the lights being the toughest to repair and took the longest to...

Found this Levenger in an antique (which it is clearly not) shop, much to my surprise. It needed and good cleaning and flushing out but it now writes like a champ. Trouble is I cannot find out anything about the pen; model number, name if it has one and from what year. Maybe someone here has seen one like it...

Santa, (the Mrs) was quite good to me for Christmas, and gave me three new pens to play with. The one I have here is an Xikar�Pocket Pen, similar in concept to the Fisher Space Bullet Pen. The Xikar is thinner, and features a burled wood (rosewood, I think) barrel and a metal front section. It is tiny, and j...

Just a glimpse of my 1967 Parker 45 FP/MP set. The pen has a Fine nib, and writes nicely. Not a favorite color of mine - the vendor's picture showed it much darker. But the price was ok, so I purchased it about 5 years ago. As I mentioned with a recent Cross purchase, Parker also offered a loss insurance prog...

This is my Retro 1951 Diplomat FP that is one of my regular daily writers. It cost a mere $7 in the clearance section of my local (now closed) Tuesday Morning store in 2010.

Most pens that are sold do not necessarily require a box. If you want to add a special touch to your creation a beautiful box will add a touch of class to your work.

So...since some of us are camera buffs and whatnot, let's hear about them.� What kind of camera do you use, what is your favorite lens, what kind of lighting setup do you have and recommend, do you prefer 35mm to digital...anything at all.� Sound off, everyone!! -CB :)

Here's a quickie pic of my "flight certified" combo in honor of today's successful shuttle launch. The G-Shock 5600 is flight certified for shuttle flight but not for EVA. The bullet Space Pen was an unexpected gift from our very own InkaFX. Scott, did you see the contrails this morning?
