Every pen is welded so each has it own set of unique characteristics. No two pens are extactly the same.

Copper naturally oxicides over time. To keep copper bright, use any of the following recommened methods:

• Metal polish such as Brasso.
  • *Use as instructed and wear gloves*
  • Wipe with rag or soft cloth until you reach desired shine.
• Lemon and salt.
  • Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of juice of lemon and mix in 2-3 pinches of salt in a small cup or bowl.
  • Wipe with rag or soft cloth until you reach desired shine.
• Vinegar and Salt
  • In a small cup or bowl, pour about 1 tablespoon of vinegar and mix in 2-3 pinches of salt.
  • Wipe with rag or soft cloth until you reach desired shine. 

As you wipe, the cloth will develop dark green or black stains; this is normal. That is the oxicidation of the copper rubbing off.

Copper will look ashy as you wipe. Once, it is lighter in color, gentle wipe with a new clean rag or soft cloth to restore shine.

Fun Fact: Copper is naturally anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic!
