Spirit Of Life design by Henry Simpole

[Ghost Plane]

Inquiring minds want to know. Its GORGEOUS!

[esterbex]

Yes, they both are....Allow me to add more drool....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was sent to the comfy chair for not buffing the Spirit before her photo shoot at the club meeting. But she was snatched from my hands before I could think of it. Is this shiny enough? May I come out now?

 

 

 

 

Onoto Heritage Plunger Filler, 90's MB 146 and Peter Pan for size comparison....

I prefer tarnish and a well used pen that shows it's loved. But shiny is good, too, so it's a win-win.

Following on from your inquiry [Ghost Plane] about the possibility of a second run for this design pen, I checked with my nib-stocks, and discovered that I have four of them here, so co-incidence is still alive and well, thank goodness!

Let's wait, and see what happens!

We have one person interested if we do another run. We have enough nibs to do another run. Let's see what happens.

The Arkansas Pen Club chose a photo of my Spirit (the one you can see) as their Facebook cover photo, so I had to gloat.... Forgive me.

Gloat away!

Hi there everybody who might have looked into this thread again after such a long period of time has elapsed!

I've just been skipping through some of the pages here, [there are so many!] The whole process was so interesting and really quite magical.

It takes me back a bit!

Truffle Finder.

[Ghost Plane]

Still love mine.

[Truffle Finder]

Good for you GP!!!

Truffle Finder.

[esterbex]

Good for US! I may request to be buried with mine in my hand....that might throw some anthropologists off....

[Ghost Plane]

I will if you will. Then they'll have just enough data points for endless debates whether coincidence or deeper meaning.

[Truffle Finder]

I'd betcha they'd go for the deeper meaning myself!

There's sufficient 'meaningfulnessenough' in this thread to almost be called a "spiritually inspired writing instrument"!!!

Oh yes, it's called the Spirit of Life Pen, silly me!!!
