Holley (Lakeville) - Ebony Cigar or Oval Pen - closed length of 3 & 5/8" so fairly decent size... still a solid knife in all ways after all these years

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Thanks Lee.
Funny you should ask; That's how it was described at auction.
I guess it's Pyrimite (sp) or something like it.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Looks like what's called "waterfall" celluloid. If you take the knife and move it you should see the "water" move across the handle (it's actually the fine dark lines in the celluloid that give the effect).
Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Here are a few old pen knives a swell center Remington, an L.F.& C. Wharncliff pen, an L.F.& C. metal advertising, a Tested green bone, an Ulster, and a stag Tested:
Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Nice pen folders, msteele.
I responded to your last post. I was in agreement with the celluloid covers.
I apparently didn't hit "submit".

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Time to bring this back up to the top with a few others... more to come as I get time ...
Here is a Griffon XX Bridgeport tip bolstered pen with nice jigging and a bar shield... also came with a nice old pig skin slip .... 3" closed length... I had a run of which some are posted above on some nice tip bolstered pens - funny how sometimes you go through periods where a knife pattern of my interest and focus starts landing on my lap (not literally) and starts another small collection focus... thanks for looking...

Lee, that is some sweet bone on your knife. All my pen knives are pyremite, pearl, or stainless steel except for this one. Remington R7713
Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Thanks Keith ... Nice bone on that classic Remington pen... I have a similar Remington but a master with a pen in contrast to the manicure blade (I would have to look for the model # and need to get pics - but my knife has a chip of jigged bone off the pile side - sometimes at the right price you snag them anyway ... and don't hesitate to post any of your pen knives - I like them in all handle materials (well actually less than fond of celluloid but just from a collectors standpoint ....

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
While I am not a big fan of pen knifes, I have to admit that those are some beautiful examples.
I have 3-4 pens, and I do love the few that I have. I can't figure where you guys get the GREAT pens that you have.
Just keep on -keep en on...
Edit:
I have to say that lee's first posted knife is too pretty to be real... I declare "Shenanigans", and I think it should be posted to me for verification! All say I, and I say ...whatever... Great knife!
