Before I decided to close the Pear Tree Pen Company, I had placed an order for a couple of limited edition Paragons that Omas was making. They arrived yesterday. These are created in the same proportions as the "old style" paragon, and are made from the spectacular and hard to find Burkina celluloid. If memory serves, this is the first time the Paragon has been made in this material, which had previously been used for limited edition 360 and Bolognas. The pens I have in my possession have "hi-tech" trim (rhodium) and are available in either an 18K gold nib in flexible (really) extra-fine or broad sizes. I am informed that only 20 of these pens were made in this trim. The pens have a retail price of $950, and a street price of around $760. Get it before the holidays from me for much less!. Send me an email if you're interested and I'll quote prices then.
