A Rare Burmese Teak pen made from the Original Teak from H.M.S. Iron Duke.
H.M.S. Iron Duke was Admiral Jellicoe's Flagship during the Battle of Jutland in 1916.
This teak is from the Battleship and comes with COA
I have a small stock only of these rare Blanks.

Thanks Craig, when the Iron Duke was broken many small trinkets were made , mainly barrels, so to get timber the size a pen can be made from is very rare, i have around 20 blanks at 19mm square and 14 around an inch square , lengths very from 130 mm to 190 mm long with 7 blanks 90 mm inch square .
Will be listing in some in new year with COA with each one.

Beaut idea and well found from an amazing ship with Provenance.Launched in 1912,sold for scrap in 1946 while I was in school when I was 13 in High School. One of my family was also named Arthur Wellsley after the same ist Duke of York. Some years ago I travelled in comfort to Tasmania in a Ferry travelling at the cruising speed of this ship so I am impressed learning about it.

Thanks for sharing Jon......Peter.
