Another top-notch, expertly-crafted, beautiful fountain pen from Newton Pens!
I have several pens made by Shawn and all of them are so well-made (including a Preson ballpoint I bought from him!). I know Shawn puts a lot of time and care in the pens he produces, and it shows in the finished product. This Hale model in a lovely swirly yellow Corrl Creations resin positively glows because of the great final polish on it. It feels great in the hand and is a joy to use. Oh, and the beautiful (and free!) pen sleeve made by his wife Elizabeth) was just the cherry on top :) Thank you, Shawn, for another great pen (and pen sleeve)!
Hey Maja,
I'm very happy to hear that you're enjoying your pen.
Thanks for letting me know!
:)

Nice little pen roll. Not a lot of padding, but it feels like enough for normal wear and tear. The camera motif fabric is fun.
We're really glad you like the sleeve! I sometimes see these pen rolls at different pen shows after several years of use (and abuse?), and they look like they're holding up really well. Early on Elizabeth would make them thicker, with more padding, but all the feedback we got at the time mentioned being too thick and took up too much space in bags. Stuff like that. So now she makes them all 3 (or 4??) layers thick, with the cotton fabrics and inner facing. If you ever want to request one with padding throughout, or just in the bottom sleeved part, send us an email and we can make it happen for you. :)

I love this pen body, I'd bought it for a Regalia Labs Crossflex nib, but the body itself is a wonder for use. It is so beautiful, and every time I bring it out, people gasp at it. My fingers are starting to feel six decade's worth of work, so with mild arthritis, the larger body makes for an easier grip, easier control, and such a wonderful writing experience. With the super-flex nib, my control fits the kind of perfection in letter shape I want from my calligraphy. I love the shape, the way the cap posts to balance the weight, and I really love that I got to choose to not have a clip so that the beauty of the body is uninterrupted. Mr. Newton, himself, was a real pleasure to interact with via email, and while I rarely buy fountain pens of this cost, if I do think about getting another, I'm sure this is where I'll go.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words!
I'm really glad you're enjoying the pen, and I hope to work with you again one day.

Shawn hacked this Elizabethan Small model pen to accept my vintage Pilot eyedropper nib unit. He did a beautiful job for a very reasonable price, and he was great to work with. +1, 5 stars, all that jazz.
Hi D,
I'm very glad to hear you're happy with the work. :)

Want to talk about good customer service? An inventory mixup allowed me to purchase this pen when it was actually out of stock. Shawn owned the mistake, contacted me to offer a refund or he’d make me a pen on the spot out of the same material. An hour later he was turning my pen. He actually made two and let me choose the one I preferred. The pen? It is another beauty. Recommend.
Thanks so much!
I really appreciate your patience with my mixup.

Beautifully made and presented in a pouch I couldn't be happier with my first purchase from Newton Pens. The pen is balanced, well crafted and lovely to look at. It wont be my last pen from Shawn!
Thanks so much Rebekah!

This is my 5th Newton pen.
I am so glad that I got a pink pen.
It is a smaller model but I love it.
It fits perfectly.
I am also reusing one of my Jowo nibs with this pen.
It works just great.
Thank you Shawn for making these beautiful pens.
Thank so much Sherry!

The website pictures really don't accurately represent how beautiful these pens are.
This is my 4th Newton pen and I just love this model.
It's the perfect size with a clip.
I didn't get a nib, just reusing one of my Jowo nibs.
It works great.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you're loving your pen. 😁👍

I bought a Sumpter (Small, D Squared Arts resin, Gothic Mermaid) that Shawn reconfigured to accept a Bock 250 nib (a Danitrio 'fireball' stub nib). The Sumpter on its own has a beautiful shape and design, I had no trouble at all putting the Bock nib on, and the pen overall has excellent balance and feels really good in the hand.
I am extremely pleased with the purchase and Shawn will definitely be the person I turn to for future needs.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I'm so glad you're enjoying the pen, and able to enjoy your nib.
:)
I look forward to working with you again.

I asked Shawn to fabricate a replacement for the broken ebonite grip on the brass-bodied rollerball pen my wife gave me decades ago. (Well, actually I had him make four grips, that should last the rest of my writing life.) Anyway, the grips are gorgeous and the pen is back to writing as well as it did the day I unwrapped it. And boy did he package it carefully. Thanks Shawn!
Thank you! I'm so glad you're happy with the work.
