Best Of 2012

 

I have been very busy so far this month so I am behind on my posts. I received some great items during 2012 but the ones that impressed me most or that I like the best are in this picture. On the left are the great BIC Pens from the 60s. This included the F-25s in the box ( got six boxes) plus the AF-49 Fine Point and the AF-49 Extra Fine Point Pens. Next is a multi pen I have not seen before. A Pilot Switch and it is like the one that JetPens has (called a Pilot Birdy Switch) but there are some differences. The one here in the picture is larger, 5.5" long and more like a standard pen size plus it also has rubber strips as a grip. At the bottom is a 0.5mm pencil and the pen is under the top. I got this from a seller in Japan and was afraid that I may never be able to get refills for the pen till I saw them on Jetpens. We can always count on JetPens. Next are the new Cross Click Pens. There are at least three more colors I am missing. I grew up on Cross pens and I will never know why it took so long to come up with a click pen. Last on the right are some of the best pens for 2012. Pilot Petball or B2Ps in seven different colors (only six in the picture). I like clear, I like color and JetPens got me both. These pens are the forth different B2P pen out. Looks like 2013 is going to be an outstanding year for pen and pencils so let us start collecting. Don't forget to leave a comment for the TUL give-away. Most popular posts for 2012 were Parker Jotters, Scan Cards, Hallmark Pens, BICs and Lamy Pens.

OfficeMax Give-Away

 

As many of you know we do very few reviews down in the supply room and the reason for that is we like everything we have. If we don't like it we don't keep it. It was no surprise to me that I liked the new and improved TUL Gel, Rollerball, Ballpoint and the Marker Pen. They all work fine and I would recommend these pens to everyone. I like the Marker Pen and the Rollerball pens the best as far as writing goes and we are talking smooth writing. I would however like to see the tops of the Marker and Rollerball pens stay in place with a click when you uncap them. Turn these pens up side down and with a few shakes the cap will fall of. On the other hand loose caps may just be me.We do want to thank OfficeMax for sending us a set of these great pens. We also have one set of these pens to give-away so send us a comment by 14 January and a nice set of four will be sent to you. I think this set of four may not be available in stores so lets leave a comment. Add them all to your collection. US only on this one.

Merry Christmas

December BIC Give-Away

 

Look what I have.These are the 1993 BIC Wavelength Body Heat Pens. These pen were made in the USA and will change color as your hand warms up. I opened a pack and they still work. They all have black ink so you could replace the refill with BIC Cristal For Her, BIC Cristal Bold or the BIC Shimmers. Any of these will do and are all in your local store. I will be giving away one package of BIC Body Heat Wavelengths. Leave a comment by 16 Dec. 2012 and maybe one of these packages of BIC pens will be yours. US only on this one. I may add something else to the package. No telling what can be found down in the supply room. 

More Stuff To Post

 

I will start on the right with this great picture from the 60s of an ad for the Rocket Porous Point Pen. I do like those wild sunglasses. On the left are two BIC ECOlutions Round Stic pens. I have never seen the red ones anywhere. Thanks Sam. Next are two BIC 2 ways with the metallic blue with blue and black ink and metallic pink with pink and black ink. These pens are starting to show up overseas but not here in the USA. Last is my new Retro 51 all green pen. This makes six different retro 51 pens down in the supply room. Add them all to your collection.
