Celluloid, is a magic word for any pen collector, which brings to mind not only the golden age of writing instruments but also the transition spanning from the 1990s to the present day.
The discovery of a stock of materials for eyewear, is for a pen company, how to win the lottery, because, the materials for glasses were mainly non-flammable celluloid, bio plastic, nylon and acrylic.
All known types of celluloid, Piralina, Rodolite, Permanite, Rhodoid, just to name a few, are all derived from the original formula of the Hyatt brothers: cellulose with the addition of a plasticizer that consolidates its structure. Cellulose is made from cotton, which guarantees its purity, and not from wood as you might think. The plasticizer, in the various formulas can be alcohol, acetic anhydride or plasticizers of natural origin (bio celluloid).
Regrettably, the materials suitable for eyewear are often too thin for crafting writing instruments unless one employs long-forgotten techniques typical of pen production from the 1920s and possesses the expertise required to do so.
Pineider was able to successfully turn an old supply of materials into beautiful writing instruments that are made with the same production techniques utilized in the roaring twenties and with identical characteristics.
