A little about Celluloid-
-Its no longer being made by any manufacture, so once whats out there is gone, that will be the end of Celluloid.
-When it was made, it was highly flammable when curing, so special care needed to be made
-If not cured long enough after it was cut into slabs and into rods, it could bow, so curing was a timely process. Some celluloids need years to cure correctly, although cooking at a slow temperature for some months can speed up this process.
-Almost all celluloid is now at least 10 years old as the cost/quantities and processes need to make celluloid these days is MUCH harder as it was also very toxic to manufacture.
And the story goes on … A family tradition. Leonardo is a forge, a laboratory where experience and craftsmanship are mixed giving life to “pleasure”, the pleasure of writing. Over 45 years of experience in the field of writing instruments, handed down from father to son, from generation to generation. Leonardo Officina Italiana holds a special place in the heart of Armando Simoni Club pens, because the owners of both companies share a history and a passion for pens. In 1982 Ciro Matrone, one of the founders of the Delta pen company. Almost 40 years later, Ciro’s son Salvatore makes the Armando Simoni Club pens in Naples, Italy – and now, he has launched his own brand: Leonardo Officina Italiana. This brand represents everything we love: handmade Italian pens, beautiful materials, great nibs, and a true passion for pens. We are therefore very proud to add Leonardo pens to our inventory.
Positivity and desire to start with a great enthusiasm driven by passion for writing instruments and forty years of experience in creating them. A collection inspired by the Italian vintage pen styles known throughout the world, well balanced in size and in metal details.
