Orange Click Pen

Wanted to make a click pen to go along with my Doufold clone so with some free time and some spare parts I made up this little guy.

Together

The click pen has a clip off a new Duofold and the fountain pen has one off a vintage Duofold so I think a good match.

Vintage Weekend

It was a vintage weekend for me.

I had this material in stock for a while now and when I pulled it out the other day I thought it would make a nice click pen.

This started it's life as a desk pen in a hotel in Budapest.  I had bought it in the Grand Bisar when I was in Istanbul.  I had some old black ebonite that was from the same era so I put the two together and ended up with a nice click pen.

It takes a Parker style refill.

Pen Repair

This was a pen that I got back last month.

It is a ebonite click pen that takes a Parker style refill.

The customer was going through airport security and as he was taking his jacket off it "ripped the pen out of my pocket and it flew across the floor".

End result     Floor 1 Pen 0

Because the click end was black a made a black tip to match.

So at least he has his pen back to working order.

Mr Clicker

I do like making custom click pens so these are a couple that I have finished off is the past little bit.

The first one was made up out of some ebonite I found at the back of my drawer and it was just long enough to make a click pen out of.  I used a Parker Ad Pen clip on it.

Number 2 was the same material from a pen I did a bit ago.  Also an Ad Pen clip on this one.

Sooo Blue

I got this material in on Friday and I had forgotten how much I love this crushed velvet material.

This was the same type of material that I made my first kit pen out of about 18 years ago.
I used one of the new clicker units from Richard Greenwald's site.
It is so smooth with no noise at all when it is advancing the refill.

It is made to take Parker @ Itoya style refills.

The clip I had from a bunch of parts that I got a bit ago.

I love this blue.

A new click pen

This was a color that I have been trying to get a pen made out of for a bit now.

I was finally able to get it done this weekend.

It will take a Parker style refill but right now I have the Itoya  .07 refill  in it.

For the clip I used the Parker AD Pen clip from the 70's and 80's

New Click Pen

I was doing some cleaning up yesterday trying to keep busy and I came across this rod of plastic.

I was needing a click pen so I built this one to take the Parker gel refills.

I was able to come up with a Parker clip off of a modern pen that I was able to make work.

Green Lizard Click Pen

This was more of the vintage material I got from England.

This material was made by the material being wrapped around a rod so there is a hole through the center of it.  It is great if it is the right size but in this case it was not.  So I had to make up acrylic bushings for each end to get to the size I needed.

It takes a Parker style refill.
