== Sotheby’s Auction and Johnny Ive’s Pen Set ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So you found the link. There was a Sotheby's auction of, they did a full set, which I didn't realize. So they have the fountain pen, the roller ball, the ballpoint and the pencil. They did a full set of this. It's glorious, right? Like it's amazing. Like I love looking at this. So make sure to put that in the show notes. It has a new owner. Like I, yeah. Yeah. So this is like a one-off deal, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, this Sotheby's lot that I've found, it looks like someone is reselling the original set.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. That's my point is Johnny Ive did one set as like a fundraising type situation. Now this set has changed hands, allegedly, based on what we're reading here. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So interesting.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So that's when we're like, okay, Lamy can do it. Like they did it. Like I get that they did it like a one-off, but now they did some, you know, the blue and the black amber, which like are totally good. Like they're, they're fine, but it's like, I want this. Right. I like, why can't I have this Lamy? That's what I, what I say. I go to bed at night, Myke thinking like my last thing before I go to bed is like, why can't I have all the fun things Lamy? That's literally my life. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I would just, I would go with Aaron's question. Just give me orange Macrelon. Like there, I fully believe they will not do black DLC coded furniture and nips in the 2000. It's that is anti 2000, right? Is it is antithetical. Is that the right word to what the Lamy 2000 is? I believe what they think the Lamy 2000 is.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Is it an?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' There's a, there's a word there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Antithetical. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Antithetical. Something like that. Sure. Anthracite. Sure.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's different.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's different. Anyway. So like I've, I've, I've, I've banged this drum for a long time. And, and we should have a lot of commentary on these types of things in this show today on things I banged the drum for. And I would love to see it. I just don't have my hopes up. So, you know, it's fun. It's really hard to see these red ones though. And go just like, yeah, that was great. One time you should stop now.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Like, oh, let's, let's stop now. It's like, no, let's, let's, let's, let's lean into this a little bit and, and charge me for it. So anyway, good stuff. I'm glad we pulled up that link. I can't believe that's been 10 years.
