George Washington Commander Fountain

The Commander writing instrument is made in partnership with George Washington's Mount Vernon and handcrafted from white oak planted in 1785 at George Washington's direction. These trees were part of a trio that once lined the historic entry road to Mount Vernon, welcoming visitors to the estate. This piece is not a replica, nor a novelty. It is a tangible connection to one of the most significant figures and landscapes in United States history. In 1860, the estate was saved from ruin by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, making it the first major historic preservation effort in the United States. Roots and Jones is honored to be entrusted by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association with this extraordinary material. Each pen sold directly supports the continued preservation of Mount Vernon and the legacy of our first Commander in Chief. The fountain pen is fitted with a medium 18K gold nib and includes both a cartridge and a converter. Made in the USA.
