Sadly, there is only the one, and no doubt Sumgai will get it before I have a chance to transfer funds from my grandchoildren's meal fund. Oh well, such is life.

That pen is real and is made by David Oscarson and it's called "Seaside" The original in enamel sells for around $4500 and the maker is a real craft artist.

I'm surprised you pen people didn't recognize the pen. It was a commission done some years ago.....

From $4,500 to 755,000 is quite a mark-up. The last diamond-encrusted pen I saw on Ebay was only $125,000. (Although, that one wasn't as creative; it was simply a fountain pen covered with an even layer of diamonds. This one could pass for a bathroom accessory from Walmart.)

Good thing it's only "one of a kind". Scary to think that there might be more than one of something that garish floating around....

Of course, my other thought: P.T. Barnum was right....

Come on now folks, it's not like it's a sofa-length painting of Elvis on black velvet, whose value is difficult to determine. This here is a piece of art, or well, maybe something that rhymes with... oh well, whatever. Still, it seems to remain available.

I don't recognize it because it's so blindingly gaudy and vulgar that it refuses to cement itself in my mind. I look at it and its visage goes right through my eyes and out my ears.
