The Lancaster
is something a little different. It is a tin, and it is tiny,
measuring 4 3/4" x 3" x 3/4" - it can fit in a
pocket. Its size limits what it can hold, but four small pens (up
to 4 1/2" capped) are well protected in it. The pen tray is
flocked (velvety), the inside of the box is lined with felt, and there
is a thickly padded microfibre "tongue" to protect the pens while allowing the deep
red color of the inside of the lid to show.
The pictures below show what sorts of pens will fit. First,
four Conklin Crescent Fillers: three model 25P and one 30P. Next,
two Waterman 52 1/2 V another RMHR ringtop, and an Esterbrook Purse Pen. It
will fit in my shirt pocket. |
