After years of getting requests about putting a clip on our Original Machine Era Pen, we’ve finally come up with a solution worthy of this well-known design.

Originally released in 2015, the Machine Era Original Brass quickly became our most popular item.

We’ve decided to clean up some lines, dial in some finishing work, add a 3D machined pocket to hold the well made (in USA) extra flexible clip in place, and actually laser engrave our logo so you know it’s the real deal- It’s inspired quite a few copies.

Adding a 3D machined clip holding pocket doubles production time, but securely holds the made in USA extra flexible spring steel clip- no spinning, scratching the body, or coming loose.

The Machine Era Markup comes pre-loaded with a felt tip Fineliner by Schmidt. We fell in love with this new ink, and thought it worked perfectly with this design. But don’t worry, if that’s not your thing, it still fits standard Pilot g2 cartridges (also included). The internals are the same as our Original. 100% machined. No springs or any other moving parts.

The 1.0mm Schmidt 6040 Fineliner is a Reservoir based refill with a spring loaded felt tip. For those of you who aren't familiar with fineliners- it writes like well flowing (non-permanent) marker.
