Tom Hessin Magnetic Series Ballpoint Pen - Poppy Red

Magnetic Heritage – Poppy Red The Tom Hessin Magnetic Series Poppy Red Ballpoint Pen is inspired by the historic Magnetic Works in Birmingham, where T. Hessin & Co once made pen nibs. Nibs were magnetised there to make them easier to handle, and Bullring market hawkers drew in passers-by by showing the magnetised nibs floating in water and pointing north. Poppy Red pairs a rich matt red lacquer with elegant matt black trim. Inspired by the vibrant poppy flower, its red and black palette symbolises hope, remembrance and new beginnings. The precision guilloché barrel reinterprets the Hessin legacy diamond, taken from an old stamp found in the family archives. A smooth twist-action mechanism and black ballpoint refill give a lovely laydown of ink on the page Features Matt Poppy Red lacquer with matt black trim Smooth twist-action ballpoint mechanism Precision guilloché barrel with legacy diamond-inspired pattern Black clip with engraved five-diamond detail, representing five generations of the Tom Hessin legacy Includes black ballpoint refill and pen card Bespoke laser engraving available for a truly personal gift
