A box in cherry, this was the prototype for the time capsule

And some cigar style pens.
The bands around the nib are left over pieces from the Bride and Groom pens

The wood is from the same wood used in the Time Capsule.

I like!! :D

They (the boxes and the pens) will be long treasured and appreciated. I especially like the parts on the cigar pens that use materials from the fountain pens. Classy touch!!!
