Shakespeare Hamlet Skull Topper Metal Pen

A skull perched above a pen is enough to suggest that these may be notes with a story behind them. This navy metal Hamlet ball pen brings a little of Shakespeare's tragedy to everyday writing, with gold lettering down the barrel and a book-shaped topper marked by a gold skull.

The Skull That Brings Hamlet to Mind

In Act V, Scene I, Hamlet is handed the skull of Yorick, the king's former jester. The moment turns a familiar object into a memory of a person, full of questions about time, laughter and mortality. On this pen, the gold skull sits on a small, flat topper shaped like a dark book. The name Hamlet runs in gold down the navy barrel, keeping the reference close whenever the next note is written.

A Pen for the Next Line

The capless ball pen has a straightforward twist action: turn the mechanism to extend the writing tip, then twist it back when you are finished. A 1.0mm black refill is supplied, so it is ready for reading notes, rehearsal reminders, lists or whatever needs writing down before the thought passes. At 13.5cm high, it sits easily alongside a notebook or among the pens on your desk.

For the Reader with a Dramatic Streak

Some people prefer their stationery with a little more meaning than a plain barrel. This one suits a friend who knows Hamlet's graveyard scene, an English teacher revisiting the tragedy or an actor with pages of notes to make. Presented on a backing card, it can be given as a small birthday gesture or a thank-you, perhaps alongside a fresh notebook. The skull gives them something to recognise; the pen gives them something to use.
