#cosoauction announcement.
This is going to be the auction thread for the pen below. I turned it using African Pauduk wood &it is a chrome plated finish on the rest. It has a magnetic cap that gives a happy little click when it pulls itself shut, and comes with a black ink cartridge and a refill cartridge. I'll cover shipping in the US. Winner to make the donation directly to the #cosofund
Post here or DM me if you want a secret bid.
Auction ends at 5:00PM East Coast time US on Sunday 1-21.
Currently, @ATXJane is the high bid with $65!
Less than 7 hours to go coso!

Wish I could bid more. It’s easily worth $100+
