[Spridgets] MG Pen

[Richard Ball]

Jim you haven't had one in your shirt pocket yet have you!

In reality the newer rollerballs don't tend to leak or dry up.  Now I could
make you the same pen with a fountain nib.  I'm sure we could get that to leak
in your pocket.

    The barrels of the pen are of Honduran Rosewood turned on my lathe and the
pen
    utilizes a Rollerball refill.  I am currently working on a Holy Sprite
    inspired pen that will be turned from Bethlehem Olivewood, have a Chrome
    finish, and an Austin Healey final in place of the MG one on this pen.

    It is a chrome arrow on the back of the Sprite isn't it?  Or should I make
it
    with a gold finish.
