re: A Few More Pens

I hope I didn't say 200 a month....I make about 200 a year...actually not quite that 190 something last year....I make about 20 to 25 per run and ruin a one to three a run....actually  half of the time, it's the blanks....this last run I have 5 blanks that were just plain ugly.....and had like fisheye looking thing in them.   I make about 10 runs per year.  I roll the problems into the next run. 

I do sell some, but not a bunch...its by word of mouth only.  I do get more per pen than that....for a patrizio I get 60.00. The Jr Gent or Nouvo Scpetre I get  95.00.  I have black card board boxes with my Pen name on them.  This last batch I just used a Black/Gold 3/4" Label tape.  I give them to doctors....they show them to other Drs. and I get requests that way.  I sell probably 1/2 of what I make.  But I "seed" the waters by giving them away.....I might break even...maybe....but let me tell you I am known to my Dr's by the pens I give them.  I think it helps the care I get....
