This one-of-a-kind Corvette Fordite antique brass pen is a stunning tribute to American automotive history. Expertly handcrafted from genuine Fordite sourced from the Corvette factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky, each pen features a unique, swirling pattern of vibrant colors. The durable twist mechanism and rich, antique brass 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. No two are the same.
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.
Included is the nice wooden display case pictured.
