Jean-Pierre Lepine “Winston” Tortoiseshell Rollerball Pen In Box

Vintage Jean-Pierre Lepine “Winston” Tortoiseshell Rollerball Pen - Unisex Style The Jean-Pierre Lepine "Winston" is a large rollerball pen inspired by Winston Churchill and the cigars he constantly smoked. The pen is actually comparable in size to those cigars. The Lepine Winston rollerball pen has a Tortoiseshell finish made from cellulose acetate, a high-quality, durable cotton-based resin. The Winston rollerball pen is handcrafted in Lepine’s workshop in Jura, France. The pen’s trim and pen clip are a golden brass. The cap unscrews for easy refill.
