A few days past my birthday (due to customs holdup), the mail came from afar: my dear wife had been in cahoots with a penseller from the northern reaches of Scotland (Deb Gibson at Goodwriter Pen Sales). Very unique to my collection now are this handsome Mabie Todd "Swan" 0160 Leverless pen (UK, circa WWII) and an earlier Todd pencil from the US branch. The chatelaine pencil has the loveliest hand engraving pattern.
I am blessed by these objects from the past, and the beautiful people who gifted me with them.
Cheers,
Jon
