If you’ve been following my adventures in building out the T.G.S. Curated Shop over the past two years, you’ll know that in addition to stationery, I have a serious interest in reading accessories. While I’ve previously discussed how the Traveler’s Company Brass Ballpoint pen is an excellent choice for annotation and marginalia, I’ve long kept my eye on CW&T’s Pen Type-C, a flat “bookmark-style” pen that’s machined from titanium and features Pilot’s Hi-Tec-C Coleto multipen refill. While you won’t want to write a novel with a flat pen like Pen Type-C, that’s not it’s intended purpose. I’ve used this pen as both a bookmark (shown below), and it also slips easily into both the zippered Traveler’s Notebook pen case and the inside cover of my Roterfaden for maximum portability.
As of this morning, Pen Type-C is available in the Curated Shop, priced at $50. I also have a handful of Hi-Tec-C Coleto refills in an assortment of colors. To refill the pen, you remove the plastic “cap” at the end of the refill (designed for compatibility with the multipen, so it’s not needed here), and insert the refill into the notch in the center of Pen Type-C. For those interested in the full-size Pen Type-B and Pen Type-A, both of which feature CW&T’s signature pneumatic sleeves, we recently restocked and have most finishes available for purchase. You can also read my write-up of Pen Type-B here!
