Announcement Made from Trees at Historic Sites. Beautiful, Unique, and Directly Connected to History. Thoughtful and Inspirational Gifts and Keepsakes, Collectibles for everyday use. Sign your name with a pen connected to signers of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. These pens come from fallen limbs of trees at historic sites. I thought people would like to have something useful that is directly connected to a place or person of historic significance. (great conversation starters.) I study the few pieces of wood that nature makes available, to see if I can find something interesting with them, and sometimes I succeed, but I see nature as the artisan and I merely bring what already exists to light.

I bought this pen for my Daughters of the American Revolution Registrar as a thank you for helping me recognize a new patriot. The presentation of the pen is awesome! Will buy more. The seller is a pleasure to deal with! He even included a personal message about the history of the pen.
