Dove Cottage - fine woodworked pens and pencils

 


  In the Old West, many people were just ordinary folks trying to make a new life for themselves: settlers, miners, railroaders .....
  Some, however, did not "settle." Outlaws and lawmen .... the ones the stories are made of; for whom the songs are sung.
  One was Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp, whose name is inextricably entwined with the town of Tombstone Arizona, "Doc" Holliday, and the fight at the OK Corral.
  This pen is dedicated to that famous lawman.

Wyatt Earp circa 1886  The Wyatt Earp pen is made from the wood of an Acacia tree that Wyatt and Josie Earp used to hold the flaps of their tent cabin at their Happy Days mine near Parker, Arizona. The pen will include a 45 Long Colt bullet casing similar to the type Wyatt Earp would have used in his Colt revolver for many of his shoot outs. We will also include a leather case branded with the name EARP and a certificate of authenticity. The wood was collected by Steve Elliot, curator of the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum.
  I plan to make 500 pens each in gold and in platinum as a ballpoint pen style and 500 gold fountain pens. Thus making this pen a treasured heirloom for you and your family, and a direct connection to a part of the history of the Old West.
