For support it is a Stiupula DaVinci, at the top a Stipula Etruria Swisher SE C/C, in th emiddel a Stipula Etruria Swisher LE PF, and at the bottom a Stipula Etruria De Architectura Gaudi Pedrera (LE, C/C).

 

Please share your own cracked ice pen pictures here :D.

I have only two cracked ice pens. The first one is a Bexley Simplicity that was an FPN LE a few years ago. The second is a Stipula DaVinci just like the one on the bottom of wimg's pile.

True that!

 

Wim those have to be the most gorgeous ice pens I have ever seen. And I don't normally care for cracked ice/fleck pens.

Thank you! This was honestly just a quick slap-up shot only, 1600 iso, fluorescent lighting, AWB, standard lens, handheld, and I didn't even set up my light tent. I do agree that the material is stunning, and I just underexposed because of the black background to get the exposure for the pens right.

 

That material is really that good looking indeed :D.

 

I'll may rephotograph them next week, and set up everything properly, do some detail shots as well :D.

 

Warm regards, Wim

Wim, had you not named the pens I would have thought they were the same pens. I never had the chance to acquire one of these cracked ice pens, so no pictures here.

Call the cracked pattern one on the right "cracked ice" or "reverse cracked ice" or "pearl" whatever wink.gif

Beautiful pix Fernan !

But are you sure this is a cracked ice CS ?

Technically no, the CS 15 is a marble pen (but a nice one!). Here are three CS cracked Ice examples I currently have:

 

 

 

 

 

top - early CS58 (with the gold veins)

 

middle - CS226 (reversed Cracked Ice)

 

lower - CS286

 

 

 

 

I also have a later CS58 pen & pencil set with the silver veins, but the above are for sale and so I had a photo readily available.

Doesn't look like cracked ice...

Mine isn't the traditional (a la vintage CS pens) cracked ice, but that's what these Esterbrook Dollar-Fifty pens are generally called.

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

There's a white one of these on E-bay that's going for a fortune!

 

I'd love to have that pen! GRRR all those other people! Leave my pen alone!

 

I hope someone here gets it, at least I'll get to see pictures of it restored and usable!
