Stamps

[flexi]

Well, I got called into work yesterday.....so I took the opportunity of lifting my little lathe into the car boot
Today's results are two stamp pens....cast by Jim Swank in the US....I supplied the stamps, these are from a set issued in 1970 by the Principality of Sealand. This is a Maunsell sea fort of the coast of Harwich, which has declared independence a very interesting story with that

Lovely, Mark.
I don't think that you could have got a better looking kit, the black Sirocco, to match your blank.
I'll look up the story that you mentioned.

Nicely done Mark, they look great.

Thanks Alan, it's a really interesting story about the Forts, not just Sealand although that's surprising enough when you get to the bottom, but without these forts we probably wouldn't have had commercial radio as they were used by radio pirates....

Graet looking pens Mark!!
I like the way the stamps are about
the same size as the blank (tube)!!

Wonderful finished pens Mark. Jim does great work, does nice demos, and is awesome to chat with in-person.
