The ‘Pinstripe 72’ - numbering the lines around the barrel. Just as its name-sake suit crossed the gender divide, the Pinstripe is equally popular with male and female audiences.
The Pinstripe 72 is sold as a fountain pen and rollerball in grand and standard sizes. Reminiscent of the banker’s suit, the engine-turned lines differentiate these writing instruments from the more ornate hand-chased and turned styles already familiar to the YARD O LED collector.
YARD O LED’s workshop employs the oldest engine turners manufacturing today – dating back to 1857. Every Pinstripe 72 is engine turned on these machines in our Birmingham workshop by our family of skilled silversmiths. As with all YARD O LED’s, every pen in unique to become the talisman of its ultimate owner.
The regimented lines offer a slight grip to the writing instrument when held and serve to catch the light beautifully as the pen turns lending the user to rediscover the joy of the written word.
Both the Fountain pen and Rollerball are Gold Vermeil on sterling silver and hallmarked.
