David Oscarson | Alexander Fleming Collection
.
Sir Alexander Fleming was a Scottish bacteriologist best known for his discovery of penicillin in the early twentieth century. A rendition of his signature stands in high relief around the pen*s barrel in tribute to the countless prescriptions that have been written, not only by Fleming, but by millions of doctors all over the world. Other medical motifs include a Petri dish, an inoculating loop, and even the chemical formula for penicillin, should you ever need it! According to David Oscarson himself, *many of our followers in Houston are doctors or involved with hospitals or the medical field, so I have for some time wanted to create something that they would really appreciate. Those followers have also become friends and, rather than make a *doctors pen*, I thought we should pay tribute to someone who did something really great.* With this pen, there were special challenges which the Oscarson artisans were able to successfully overcome. *We adjusted angles and depths of engraving until we found a combination that held the enamel on the silver.* And this tenacity and love of the art form is the true heart of the brand. *My favorite part of the pen business is seeing an idea or concept become a real, living thing.* Only 73 fountain pens and rollerballs, combined, are available in each finish. The fountain pen is enhanced with an 18kt Gold nib, cartridge/converter fill.
