Gatsby Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a pen that channels the mystery, glamour, and sophistication of the Jazz Age with the Gatsby Ballpoint Pen Kit. Its sleek, streamlined silhouette and luminous plating options make this one of the most striking pens you can put on a lathe. Available in eight finishes — from classic Chrome to bold Golden & Gun Metal — the Gatsby is equally at home on an executive's desk or displayed in a collector's case.
What truly sets the Gatsby apart is its smooth twist mechanism. Simply twist the finial cap to advance or retract the refill — no clicking, no cap to lose. The single-tube construction means a fast, satisfying build, and the pen accepts widely available Parker-style ballpoint refills so your customer can always find a replacement.
Features
Twist-action mechanism: Elegant finial twist advances and retracts the refill — smooth, quiet, and satisfying to use.
Single brass tube: Simple single-tube build means less prep time and more time at the lathe.
Parker-style refill compatible: Takes any standard Parker-style ballpoint refill — easy for customers to replace anywhere.
5-1/4" finished length: A full-sized, substantial pen that writes comfortably for extended sessions.
Art Deco-inspired design: Clean lines and a tapered profile give the Gatsby its signature vintage-glamour look.
Eight plating options: From understated Brushed Satin to dramatic Golden & Gun Metal, there's a finish to complement any blank.
Executive gift appeal: The name, the silhouette, and the polished finish make this pen an instant centerpiece in any gift box.

The twist mechanism feels substantial and refined compared to a click pen — customers notice the difference immediately.
