Full description
Perfect for Christmas, birthdays or collectors and comes with an impressive embossed and hologram sealed certificate of authenticity as shown in the product images. This unique and historic ballpoint pen made from reclaimed certified wood from seats installed at the now demolished Forbes Field, That was the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates Major League Baseball team from 1909 to 1970. Hand turned by me in my own workshop. The wood was obtained from seats installed in 1909 and removed in 1971 during its demolition The wood from this seat has seen its share of historic events at this ball park .
The wooden blank I used to make this pen is shown in the pictures, and is now over 100 years old. The wood supplier in the USA is highly reputable and one of the leading suppliers of genuine historic wood for pen making.
The metal pen parts are obtained from a UK provider, Beaufort Ink, renowned worldwide for supplying premium pen parts for woodturners. The ballpoint pen is a twist action finial mechanism and can be supplied with black or blue ink. The fittings are in premium quality Black Titanium and Rhodium. This is an expensive and exclusive pen due to its historic value hence I wanted to use the highest quality pen parts in its construction.
Write with history in your hands. Pen comes with a free felt carry pouch.
