Today's Pen Is All Gold All The Time:

Today's pen is all gold all the time:

A gold plated lever-filling fountain pen lies uncapped on an open notebook. Written in the notebook in purple ink is:
Rolled Gold
Ingersoll Redipoint
St. Paul, Minnesota
Sheaffer Skrip Purple

I don't know what to say about this pen except that it's absolutely gorgeous with a nice soft nib. It's so, so GOLD, and how about that fleur-de-lis chasing!

A close up view of the branding on a gold plated fountain pen cap. Visible on the cap are the words "Redipoint", "PEND'G" "MADE IN U.S." and "ROLLED GOLD".
A photo showing the detail on a gold plated fountain pen barrel. It's inscribed with fleur-de-lis on a striped background running lengthwise, each column separated by a strip of polished metal.
A close up view of a 14k gold fountain pen nib. The breather hole is heart shaped, and the words "Redipoint" and "ST. PAUL" are visible above a number "2".
A gold-plated fountain pen lies capped on an open notebook, arranged to show the light reflecting off the chasing inscribed on it.

Seriously, it's hard not to just ogle this thing.

And what blows my mind is that this was a company pen! Maybe a retirement gift? Because I've gotten some nice company gifts, but nothing as cool as this pen.

A close up of the top of a fountain pen cap showing a round blue logo with the words "THE HOME INSURANCE COMPANY NEW YORK" imprinted on it.

Y'know, knowing about antique fountain pen brands and where they were based, it surprises me that they didn't go with a local brand like Waterman. Was this cheaper? (Oh, and I misspelled the name. It's Ingersoll with two Ls.)

Another pen with a story that I wish I knew!

I was going to embroider a rose or something in the corner of this handkerchief, but then I realized I could do a wizard, so obviously I did a wizard.
