They are made of hard, high quality exotic woods both for lasting strength and beauty.

"Executive" Ballpoint Pens

The Executive ballpoint pen is uniquely turned desk pen designed for ease of writing as well as for appearance. It features one of the finest, most durable and long lasting refills available: the pressurized Fisher Space Pen (The one that writes upside down). The pen is also designed to accept the more readily available Cross, Parker and Pentech refills. The pens are about 7" long.

The gold plated brass tip is designed by, and made solely for Turn of the Century pens. Each pen includes a card explaining how to refill the pen and where to obtain the Space Pen refills. For refill instructions: Refilling

Oblique Pens:

Oblique pens are a more specialized calligraphy pen used for a more fluid script and drawing style.
The width of the line is dependent on downward pressure rather than the shape of the nib.
For variable width lines, they require a very flexible nib. Nibs are NOT included.
They may not be appropriate for the beginning calligrapher. They are the appropriate tool for Spencerian and Copperplate script.

The brass nib clip is adjustable for nibs with different curvatures.
