MATERIAL:
Jeep Fordite — layers of hardened automotive paint, salvaged from the spray booths of Jeep factories, now turned into a rare and storied medium.
DIMENSIONS (APPROXIMATE):
5.5" L x 0.675" D
DESCRIPTION:
This pen was shaped from Jeep Fordite, sometimes called Detroit Agate — a material born by accident as paint overspray built up in thick layers over decades of production. Cut, polished, and turned, those layers reveal flowing lines of color like the rings of a tree, each one a record of time and craft.
The Fordite tells a story of roads imagined, engines roaring to life, and hands that worked with grit and precision. In your hand, it becomes something new — not an industrial byproduct, but a writing instrument alive with history.
Its form is bold yet balanced, with polished metal accents that echo the strength of its automotive origin. Each line written carries forward the story of transformation: what was once waste now turned into a vessel of meaning.
KEEPER’S INSCRIPTION (HAIKU):
Paint built up in time,
layer upon layer hardened—
roads reborn in ink.
🛒 Ships anywhere in the U.S. for a flat $5. Multiple items? Still just one flat fee.
