Pelikan M1000 - How many drops does your barrel hold?
"Brian Ketterling" wrote in message ink.net... In , LarryW wrote: I keep wondering if the pen I am thinking of, I am confusing for something else. I cetainly remember the name Wearever. It may be the other that cost a whole dollar. Maybe the 29¢ paper cutter has a different name that eludes my mind. The pen you describe closely resembles the dollar pen I often could not afford to replace. Any ideas [names] of some popular cheapo brands sold from early to mid 50's? I'm not sure, right off the bat. Wearever was kind of the "American BiC" of fountain pens -- they cranked out millions of pens, and they were inexpensive. They very well could have made pens like you described, that I'm just not aware of. All of the lower-range Renew-Points that Esterbrook put on their pens were either untipped (like their "flexible" #2048) or had folded tips, but Esterbrooks are pretty good pens (and they made a "Dollar Pen"). I don't know... maybe I'll stumble across a reference to a 29¢ pen. BTW: If you check out the nib tip, you will notice the absence of sodder. No one, to the best of my knowledge, ever tipped a pen with solder... or was that just an offhand term? Brian -- What I was trying to say was "soldered with irridium." I recall Esterbook as being a mid to higher range pen. Usually they were sold as a 3 piece set. Never saw the stand-alone dollar version. It's hard for me to think of any pen using irridium tips costing only 29¢ The name "Eversharp" rings a bell though. -LarryW |
