I'm also wondering what kind of wood this is made of. Feeling like Lanier doesn't want to disclose. Also where is this made? Hopefully not China? Lol

NicktheHeroOf course it's going to be made in China--or some other (fill in the blank) country where labor is cheap and worker protections are minimal. I mean--you are here looking for deal aren't you? I find it ironic that half the people shopping on MD are complaining "item-whatever" is too expensive, and the half are complaining "item-whatever" is made in China. You'd be surprised at the prices 76-count pen display cases made by Italian Ferrari mechanics and Swiss Watchmakers are going for these days. And don't even think about the ones made by out-of-work GM assembly plant workers, or those that ex-Appalachian coal miners are hocking these days (oh buddy, some really crazy prices there). Nope, looks like you're gonna have to stick with The Peoples Republic of Half the Shit in Your House, if you want a screaming good deal on a 76-Pen, Mahogany display case, these days. UPDATE: I actually decided to visit Lanier's website to find out exactly where their stuff is made, and as best I could tell (or as best they were tell'n, anyway) they claim everything is made in "Northern California." The don't say it very clearly, but that's the suggestion anyway. Color me skeptical. Interesting company though, they make a ton of stuff from wood--here's a quote from their site discussing their selection--read it and then tell me if it makes the "where" issue any clearer in your mind... "Exotic Woods Give Your Custom Pen Its Own Style

If you ever dreamed of owning a custom pen made of exotic wood, now you can own any of the hand turned Lanier wood pens. You can choose from a wide range of exotic woods from the Dark Continent of Africa to the exotic Orient, or the frontier forests of the United States or Outback of Australia for your wood pen.

You can select to have your very own Lanier Pen made from any of our family of woods offered in our Wood Collection including..."

I'm not sure we still refer to Africa as the "Dark Continent" these days, or that we consider any portion of the US a "frontier" any more.

Frankly, the whole site smelled a little "fishy" to me...

RayFCalm down brother. I'm just a guy looking for a quality product, not a Ferrari, lol. There is a middle ground between the chinese mud holes and a swiss country home. But actually most of the items in my house are not Chinese. I'm a developing purist. Only US and European stuff in my house mostly. Anyhow, I've rarely seen people complain about made in china on here, or else not very often. Definitely not half. And I almost NEVER see people complaining about prices, because as you said, MD is all about making deals with the the companies in order to get a better deal overall. I think people are more than willing to pay some extra money for a quality product, including me. I just want to make sure it's quality to begin with.

RayFSaw your update just now. interesting. and yeah, sounds fishy indeed. So much it just not specified. If their chests were made of these exotic woods idk why they wouldnt bodly advertise it for this Drop. Looks like someone who hasn't mastered English wrote those things you copied lol
