Put a Horsehair Fountain Pen in Your Pocket
Every year the Graf Von Faber-Castell company creates a new fountain pen to celebrate a rare material not typically used in the manufacture of fine writing instruments. For 2009 the company chose horsehair as the featured component of their pen of the year. Woven in a two-tone checkerboard pattern, the body of this pen takes its inspiration from the 18th century status of horsehair fabric as a luxury material for covering chairs. Now you can enjoy a piece of horsehair history in your pocket. Interested horse owners can even contact the company to have a pen made with hair from their own horse. $1,875 | Buy
