Factory Green Brass Pen

Six years ago, when Traveler's Company released the limited edition Factory Green brass pen, I was unboxing a newly refurbished Kingsley leather embossing machine at the office, giving it a good clean before passing it on to a colleague.

Around the same time, Manual Factory was offering laser engraving on the Factory Green pen — the green coating reveals bright brass underneath, and as it ages, that contrast deepens beautifully.

I know this edition feels too special to “actually use”… but why not? 😄 Too many pens already? Maybe. But if you’ve been using yours, I’d love to see how it’s aged over time.
