SOLD: Nice boxes for six pens. Made for you on request.

I’m offering these Ashton Corona boxes that hold six pens, with a multi-box discount. The boxes are all identical Ashton Corona boxes, but I can fit them with a color scheme and theme of your choosing. The price depends on how many boxes you purchase.

From left to right, the first box has Kelly Green lining, a drawing of a fountain pen writing in a spiral, and holds seven pens.  The first box is sold. The second and third boxes have chocolate brown lining and hold six pens. The second one features an image of an old book and some glasses, while the third one has a sort of “steampunk” 3D image with vintage pen ads visible thru the holes. The last two also hold six pens and have an image of a vintage French postage stamp. The fourth box is lined in dusty rose, while the fifth is lined in burgundy.

Closeup images of the boxes are in the gallery below.

Each box measures 6 3/4 inches wide, 6 1/4 inches front to back, and 2 1/4 inches tall. Inside, the pens are held in individual soft felt-lined cradles, touching nothing but the felt, with each pen up to 5 5/8 inches long.

I have fitted a 2mm thick foam pad on the bottom of each box to inhibit sliding and avoid scratching any of your surfaces.

I’m offering these boxes on a special sale: one box for $30, two for $55, and three or four for $25 each. Actual mailing cost will be added, depending on your location and the number of boxes purchased. You have your choice of the boxes, subject to prior purchase.

I take payment by PayPal or if you prefer to pay with a card just let me know and I can email an invoice payable by that method.

I ship by USPS Priority Mail in the USA or by USPS International First Class Package outside the USA.

Two Six Pen Boxes – not available for Christmas!

The Ashton Corona boxes are well-made and have an attractive exterior. I have fitted out the inside of these two to make them into appealing places for six of your pens.

I started by sanding and varnishing the interior bare wood surfaces, then lined the boxes with chocolate brown felt and fitted a beige flocked velour six pen tray for a striking two-toned interion.  In each box, I added artwork to enhance the overall design.

One of the boxes features reading related artwork with vintage glasses and an open book, while the other carries a vintage Sheaffer fountain pen ad from the early 1920s. UPDATE: The box with the glasses/book artwork is SOLD.

Either box will hold six pens, each up to 5 7/8 inches long – even a Montblanc 149 just fits! The pens are cradled in soft velour and will touch nothing but the lining.

The boxes measure 6 3/4 inches by 6 1/4 inches by 2 1/4 inches and I have fitted a 2mm thick foam pad to the undersides to minimize sliding and to avoid scratching your desk or table top.

The Ashton Six Pen Boxes are priced at just $30 plus actual mailing cost, each, or take both for $50 plus mailing. If you are interested, please email me at BamaPen@jehubbard.com and be sure to include your ZIP Code or location so that I can provide a firm mailing cost quote.

I take payment by PayPal or if you prefer to use a card, I can email an invoice.

A Steampunk Styled Box

I’ve done many black boxes before, but recently thought that a “steampunk” styled black box would be interesting.  Here’s my first try, an Ashton box converted with steampunk airships pictured on and inside the lid and “brass” and “leather” forming the pen holders.

The box will hold seven pens and the “leather” is actually patterned suede cloth, so the individual pen compartments are quite soft and will protect your pens from damage.

The Steampunk box is priced at $25 plus shipping.    SOLD If you are interested in this box, please email me with your location for a shipping price quote.

Ashton VSG Wizard for pens and ink – SOLD

The Ashton VSG Wizard is one of the few boxes deep enough for those tall Noodler’s ink bottles.  It is relatively rare; this is only the second one I’ve found in nearly two years.  It measures 8″ by 7″ by 4 1/2″ deep and I can fit it for ink only or for a combination of pens and ink.  A combination box is especially handy on or near your desk, as it can keep your current rotation of pens plus your favorite inks ready for use, yet nicely stored.
