Found some nice pens and pencils at the local carboot today.
First up is an Universal pen all the way from the USA that dates back to the c.1960s. This has a black plastic body and a chrome top. The original “cartridge” inside looks usable but will get changed to a sac if leaky. (FPN has info about these.)
Second up is a ‘no name’ pen from prior to the c.1990s – clue “West Germany” on nib and OXO or OSA – made out of heavy metal and is black and gold stripes .
Lastly, is a Papermate ballpoint (not pictured) from the c.1980s with a nice green marble and chromed body. Along with the Papermate were a load of glass marker pens and sticky tape (I’ll probably sell these) plus five Berol Cardinal pencils in HB. These appeared to come from a closed shop as a pricing gun was in the next box.
