USS Constitution Ballpoint Pen

USS Constitution Ballpoint Pen

Here’s an authentic relic that history buffs will love! These pens are handcrafted in wood taken from the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world today. The wood was removed from the ship in 1973 during a refitting by the U.S. Navy. The ship was launched in 1797, one of six frigates authorized by Congress to defend the trade of our young republic. Soon she was serving with distinction against Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean. Her greatest fame came in the War of 1812 when she defeated several British frigates and earned the nickname “Old Ironsides” when cannonballs reportedly bounced off her thick oaken hull. She returned to Boston in 1897 for her Centennial celebration and has remained there since. The hand-turned, polished wood pens are available as a twist ball pen, a fountain pen with a medium steel nib or a capped rollerball. Own a bit of history while supplies lasts.
