R and D for Celluloid pens






....I haven't posted anything for ages so I thought I'd better remedy the situation.
I've been busy of late with the design and development of the "Celluloid" pens.The material itself is great to work with.Very forgiving and able to hold thin wall sections easily.
I have had to vary the design of the pens around the different diameter rods, as some of the smaller diameter rods can't take the 12mm standard thread that I'm using.Which leads to lots of head scratching and cussing.
I'm hoping to get a large quantity of pens completed for the London pen show, and all the other shows leading up to Christmas.

Worcester pen company will be at Castle Ashby Northamptonshire this weekend 26th and 27th.
I know it is a bit short notice for all you Worcester pen fans but hey you how well organised i am (not!!!!) The weather forecast is good and the organisers are the two Anns from Pennine Fairs who are probably some of the best organisers in the fair business.
We had a good show at the Midland pen show last Sunday, and it was good to meet up with all the usual crowd and some old faces from the pen world that I had not seen for a year or two.Attendance was up from last year and it's steadily growing into a nice little pen show.

Celluloid Pens




Have been experimenting with old stock Celluloid. Bronze fleck and a Green fleck in the intention of making fountain pens out of the material.
I've already made some pencils and ballpens from Blue, Rose, and Black and Silver celluloid and the effect is very pleasing.Hopefully I'll be able to take one or two samples to the Midland pen show with me to see if they make any impression on the pen collectors.

The Worcester Pen Company sales team will be at this years forth coming Midland pen show at Lichfield guild hall on June 20th.
This will be the third year we have done the Midland pen show and we will be looking forward to seeing customers old and new, and just enjoying what is really a social day out for people who take a great interst in pens.
I'm busy making pen stocks to take with me and also trying to get the new pen models e.g Nimrod and Sentinel NB up and running.Plus I'm trying to get the pen orders out of the door makes the Worcester Pen Company very busy at this moment in time.
I Haven't posted for ages so here goes.....
Development of the new pens is going well with just one or two minor problems.
The Celluloid pens will look some thing special when they are finished.
