Rolls-Royce commissions pen set by Conway Stewart
Rolls-Royce has commissioned Conway Stewart,
one of the great English pen makers, to produce 25 writing instrument
sets to mark the 80th anniversary of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Each
set will be housed in a hand-crafted case of aluminium and leather,
made in the Rolls-Royce workshops at Goodwood. Each one will be fitted
into the glove box of one of 25 special Phantoms, built to commemorate
the anniversary.
The set will comprise three items - a Duro-style fountain
pen, ballpoint pen and propelling pencil. Originally designed in the
mid 1920s - like the first Phantom - the Duro pen was widely acclaimed
for its quality and style. It was therefore judged entirely fitting
to be included in the specification of this motor car.
