This unusual pen, of which only a few were made, is a keepsake or graduation gift for a special person. The wood used in this Concord Authors pen is from an American elm that until recently stood on Authors Ridge in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord MA, among the graves of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. This classic Americana style Historic Wood Pen features a premium Swiss-made Parker style ballpoint refill with carbide writing tip for consistent ink flow.
