The Pen That Signed a £2 Billion Contract
When National Grid came to sign the £2 billion Eastern Green Link 4 contract, they reached for a British made Conway Stewart pen designed for the occasion. Hand made in...
Crafted using the same precious resin as Conway Stewart's celebrated Dartmoor collection, the Dartmoor Scribbler brings the depth and character of that material to David Hayward's iconic clutch pencil design.
The round barrel sits naturally in the hand and the rich, swirling pattern of the Dartmoor resin gives each pencil its own unique appearance. No two are alike.
The versatile 5.6mm clutch mechanism holds graphite leads, coloured crayons and highlighters, making this as much a creative tool as a writing instrument. The end cap doubles as a lead pointer when unscrewed.
This is a Scribbler with real presence - a pencil that connects two of Britain's finest traditions in writing instrument design.
The pencil is presented in a gift box.
