Grand Gentry | Antique Silver & Brass Finish | Ben Franklin Relic

Description

The Grand Gentry is a slightly larger diameter than the normal Gentry we’ve all come to admire. The smooth and refined lines exhibit flair and elegance. The single tube body construction is well balanced and feels great in your hand. The antiqued silver and brass plating are a perfect match with the historical Benjamin Franklin relic.

This handmade ballpoint pen is the perfect for any history buff. Think about graduation, retirement, birthdays or Constitution Day (September 17th).

Material

The body features a graphically designed rendition of a $100 bill and is capped off with a piece of wood from the address of Benjamin Franklin’s birthplace at 17 Milk Street, Boston, MA. The current building that stands on 17 Milk Street is not the original where Franklin was born. The original building was destroyed in a fire in 1811, making room for the building that stands there today. There is a bust of Franklin commemorating his birthplace on the second floor of the building with the inscription “Birthplace of Benjamin Franklin.” The design and historical wood were cast in a clear resin and then carefully turned on a lathe to match the tip and end cap couplers. 

Finish

A highly polished gloss finish is created using multiple layers of cyanoacrylate. This method ensures a long-lasting shine and will protect the material for years to come.
