Torelli Tri-Pen Grey Lucite Faceted Fountain Pen
This pen is lovingly used.. It is equipped with an 18k Montblanc 149 fine nib and fills a Power Filler. It was just serviced by Torelli and is in perfect working condition.
Bry’s Collector’s Note
The cap closure alone is a masterstroke. Rotate the crown above the clip, and an internal mechanism elegantly secures or releases the cap — refined, intuitive, and unlike anything else we’ve handled. Crafted by Brad Torelli in 1992, with only three ever made, this pen is as rare as it is ingenious.
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.
