This one-of-a-kind Corvette Fordite rollerball pen in gold finish is a stunning tribute to American automotive history. Expertly handcrafted from genuine pieces Fordite sourced from the Corvette factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky and cast in acrylic, each pen features a unique, swirling pattern of vibrant colors. The rollerball design and gold finish perfectly complement the polished Fordite, making this an exceptional writing instrument and a true collector's item. It's the perfect gift for car enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone who appreciates a unique blend of craftsmanship and history. Each one is different and unique with its own unique color patterns. No two are the same. Pictured is the actual pen you will receive.

Fordite is old automobile paint which has hardened into layers. Years ago, the process used to paint automobiles was different than it is today. Back then cars were hand sprayed. The color used in the spray booth changed as the production schedule changed. Layers of the enamel paint built up on the tracks and skids on which the car frames were painted. The layers of over sprayed paint became hardened when the car bodies went into ovens to cure the paint. When the buildup of paint became too thick, it was removed. The production process has changed so that the paint does not build up, so once the current supply is used up there won't be any more available.

Each pen comes in a beautiful wooden display case (pictured), along with a laminated description card that explains the story of Fordite and identifies its source.
