Description

A pen stand comprised of a laser-cut wood black and single metal pen holder. Branded to Priority Projects Ltd. Features: A single block of wood (unidentified) with a laser-cut design and engraved metal plaque on the top, along with a shallow, stationary, angled, cylindrical metal setting in which the matching pen can be placed. The body of the stand is a flat rectangular block of wood, with angled edges (with the deepest angle on the underside). The laser-cut design is to the left of the top surface and is of an industrial structure, with stylised clouds in the background. Below the laser-cut design is a metal plaque engraved with "PRIORITY PROJECT LTD.; (403) 436-6530 (403) 236-1896". The pen holder to the right of these elements is gold in colours, and is cylinder-shaped. It is angled forward (the front when resting flat). The accompanying blue-ink rollerball pen is a matching gold-coloured metal, with a narrow, tapered shape, with a shallow texture of lengthwise grooves. The pen has a center join, assumedly for dismantling and refilling the ink. The base of the stand is padded with a sheet of black foam.
