New Items
Here we have some new items in the Supply Room. Top left is a plastic pen stand that has the map of the US. I would think from the 50s or 60s. To the right is a new pencil in the Supply Room. A Kickstater item called a Stalwart Pencil. I think this is 3.5mm lead and the pencil came with four leads and a ballpoint pen. Made from Maple Burlword so each pencil will look different. It is a big lead but is is fun to use. Below left is the Ambition Field Notes that I saw over at Unposted. Last are two items I got from JetPens. The white 60th Anniversary Parker Jotter and the 80th Anniversary Rhodia notebook and pencil. All good stuff.
Here are two of the plastic pen holders I got from Office Depot as they close their doors. Check your local store and get yours.

Wearever Ball Pens
Two items to show in this picture. First is the great counter top pen display from Wearever up on the wall. Mad Men folks found this item and I put new refills in all the pens.This cardboard display was in great shape. Then other item is the Lamy and Tradio pens. They are in a new display case I got from the closing of our local Office Depot store here in Killeen. The stores were bought by Office Max and are being closed out. You should go by your local Office Depot and see what they are selling. I bought the Schneider Pen floor display to get these plastic 30 slot pen displays. There are four of these in a Schneider Pen floor display. I paid $25.00 for the stand and all I wanted was the four pen displays. Go by and get yours. Add all this great stuff to your collection.

New BIC 4 and 2 Way Pens
We are running out of space. Added four new pens to this case and it is now full. On the top row I added the short green 4 way BIC. Pastel colors just like the other green 4 ways. The first 21 pens on the top row are all 4 way BICs. Last three on the top row and the first nine BICs and the second row are 2 way BICs. Second row number 7-9 are the new BIC 2 ways in blue, pink and yellow. Don't see BIC 2 ways here in the US but they do seem to be popular overseas. There are so many BICs out there that another case may be in order. Add them all to your collection.
