Torelli Platinum Striated Celluloid 126 Fountain Pen
This pen is equipped with a solid 14k clip, a 14k Oblique Broad nib and fills via a Button Filling System. These pens are truly 100% hand made. Every piece is meticulously made by Brad Torelli with the exception of the 1070’s Montblanc nib and the celluloid from the 1930’s.
Brad Torelli adheres to a ridged uncompromising work ethic, working down to fractions of thousands of an inch and has the fluid ability with measurements in the use of Micrometers, bore gauges, depth gauges, dial indicators and thread gauges. Then geometry and doing multi-lead threading performed on a lathe.
The proper dressing of all cutting tools and the ability to maintain a finely polished razor sharp cutting edge at the correct rake on all cutting tools is key.
In addition to the lengthy manufacturing process there is a considerable effort to ensure proper fit of all parts. This can sometimes mean, machining and re-machining until all fit perfect.
Brad has a intimate knowledge of the many different materials that are employed in the manufacture of these pens. Materials used are ones that will survive the test of time. Brad says “I feel a fine pen should survive well past the life of the original owner.”
In the end, you get a true masterpiece.
