Clipless 'Shirt Pocket Fountain Pen' in Raspberry Swirl


Here's one I didn't think I'd be likely to make - a 'Shirt Pocket Fountain Pen', but without a clip.  I would have thought that a clip would be necessary for the whole 'shirt pocket' thing, but as it turns out, there are many who prefer to leave the pen loose in the pocket unclipped.  Well, this works out nicely for the aesthetics of the pen, as the clip, for all its utility does break up the lines of the pen.

I made this one out of this bright and cheerful raspberry swirl acrylic, which is certainly no subtle colour - it rather demands notice.  Like all my SPFPs, the cap is designed to post securely on the barrel for convenience and comfort while writing.

This pen has a special nib awaiting it upon its arrival, but here is posing with a medium steel JoWo nib.



Well.  Enough play, and time to go off to work.

Thanks for looking!

  1. I have (nearly) the same pen from Edison, custom made. Works well. Mines ebonite.
