Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the third President of the United States serving from 1801-1809.
Thomas Jefferson was considered to be eloquent as a correspondent, but not as a public speaker. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen rather than his voice to the patriot cause. As the “silent member” of Congress, Jefferson was known for his writing skills and was chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence. Over seventeen days, Jefferson wrote the draft in isolation with the help of a committee that included Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. The second Continental Congress then spent two days making changes to the document, debating and revising it on July 2nd and 3rd. On July 4th 1776 Congress ratified and adopted the document. The formal document was signed by 56 members of Congress on August 2, 1776.
The LeBoeuf Thomas Jefferson “Declaration of Independence” Limited Edition features an exclusive acrylic barrel we have called Old Glory Red white and Blue Swirl. This material was specially created to represent America’s independence and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Each pen barrel has been carefully tuned and polished and features Thomas Jefferson’s famous signature engraved in Gold on each barrel. A gold Declaration of Independence 1776 commutative coin has been fitted onto the top of each cap. Alternating White and Red Stars have been engraved onto each cap paying homage to America's founding document and enhancing the elegance of this special pen.
Each Thomas Jefferson Fountain Pen features a German Gold plated nib featuring the LeBoeuf logo in both Fine and Medium Points and utilizes a cartridge/Convertor filling system. A Roller Ball version is also available which uses a Standard International Roller Ball refill. Each pen model is limited to 176 pens Worldwide.
The LeBoeuf Thomas Jefferson “Declaration of Independence” Limited Edition celebrates the life of one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers and the founding document of the United States, The Declaration of Independence.
