Product Descriptions
We at the History Salvaged take pride in creating literally one of a kind pieces of functional art in the form of the finest quality handmade pens and writing instruments by utilizing and repurposing Witness Wood® and other materials from Historic and Cultural sites that would typically be discarded and lost forever. Although we do create and stock limited quantities of assorted pens, because most of the Witness Wood® is unique and often rare, each handmade pen is typically custom made to order with a delivery of not more than 2 weeks.
Here you will find information about many of our exclusive, proprietary and custom hardware as well as some of the more popular pen styles from some of the leading manufacturers of pen hardware in the industry. Be assured that whether our Master Pen Makers utilize our own hand crafted designs or hardware from one of industry leaders to feature our Witness Wood®, the materials we select are of the highest quality available, often collector quality.
