Another Great TI Calculator

 

Here is a nice inexpensive TI 1025 calculator. This is another of the TI calculators that have the large fluorescent numbers and not the normal small red numbers that I can't see anymore. These calculators were introduced in 1977 and were made in El Salvador, Hong Kong, Spain and the US. This particular one was made in El Salvador and came with a power cord and instructions. This one works well for general calculating so pick one up and add it to your collection.

Office Size Clam Paper clipper

 

I don't know how many people have used these Clam clips but this big office version was new to me. I use my standard Clam dispenser all the time and you can still get them at JetPens or Ebay but I do like this large desk model. I have used it at my desk and it works fine. Everybody should have one at your desk and the smaller one in your bag. This larger desk model was issed through US Goverment channels. Replacment clip can be bought through Ebay but I have found that after a while you start to keep track of the clips so you never run out. Add one to your collection.

Monami Love Pet Pens

 

What a great set of 0.38mm pens. These 10 pens all have a picture and name of a pure breed dog like Golden Retriever and Jack Russell Terrier. The pen case which is plastic states Picnic Love Pet on the front with pictures of some dogs. Monami is a Korean company and since 1960 has been their big leader in the pen area. Their basic pen like a BIC is known by all Koreans. These 0.38mm pens are a new item to me and are equal to the other 0.38mm pens that out there. If you like 0/38mm fine point pens that come in a real nice case with dogs then this set is for you. They are currently on eBay so pick yourself up a set. 

New From JetPens

 

The Pentel Tradio has always been one of my favorite pens from Pentel and I have most of the EnerGel ones, the fountain pen and the 0.05mm pencil which are on the left. Now they come out with a complete new line which is available on JetPens. These on the right are smaller then the originals and are made of hard plastic that feels like it could break. They all use the same EnerGel refills. To replace refills just unscrew the tip which is different from the originals which unscrewed at the mid point of the pen. They come in both black and white body colors. These are good pens but they do not have the feel of the originals. On the far right is a Pilot pencil and a pocket microscope all from JetPens. Add them all to your collection.

Old And New Stuff

 

We have been slowly adding new and old stuff to our inventory and here are some of the items. Top left is a box of Canadian green BIC pens. Thanks Sam. Below the BICs is a new Parker Vector, Papermate Holiday in perfect condition and another Parker Epic. I now have two Epics in my collection. More old BIC Wavelengths pencils from around 1991. Thanks again Sam. Middle top is a PEZ Calculator. Below that is a Sterling Plastic Creepy Pencil Sharpener NR# 618 from around 1963. I have a few of the spiders but this is the first on a card. To their right are the four colored BICs in fine point. Already had the medium points. Next is a Scripto pen and pencil set. Great condition. Pencil is  a P360 and the Pen is a T220. Last is a set of BIC Spider-man MVP Erasable pens. Add all this stuff to your collection.

New BIC 0.5mm Round Stic Pens

 

Some of the best new BIC pens to come out in some time. These are fine point 0.5mm pens.  The 0.5mm point is a new one for the BIC Round Stic. I have only seen these pens available from two seller on eBay. One from Korea and one from Thailand. These are well worth the price and the refills can be taken out and put in any other BIC round stic pen to include the BAUX pens from Kickstarters. These pens also have bright new colors that I like. Add them all to your collection. 

Kenners 1960s Spirograph

 

Who did not have one of these? This one is the 1967 blue tray Spirograph Nr# 401. This one is complete except that the small number 24 wheel is missing. and the pens need new refills. All the instructions are there. Developed by British engineer Denys Fisher in 1965. In 1966 Kenner got the rights for the US market and it began selling them that year. It seems they come out with a new addition every few years so there are plenty of chances to get one. I like this old one because of the art work on the cover and that it is almost complete after so many years. 1967 was a good year. Add one to your collection.
