Got it because my grandfather used to have one like it with a gold tip and pen clip. I can see why he loved this brand so much. The writing is smooth and consistent.

I had bought one of these from Franklin Covey years ago and it was my favorite 3-color plus lead pen.  I love that the barrel is not big, but like a normal pen. The price on this one is only about 1/4 of the original.

The old Parkers were designed much the same way with a pump slide action and the clip is at the top of the pen because it is made shorter than a typical pen. That means YES...it does not get hung on things....

This is a nice twist to a old product I grew up with.

My grandfather had one when I was a kid.  I remember sharpening all of our hunting knoves before the season.  This wet stone is awesome and WAY BETTER than any electric machine.

Had one of these before it came in very handy, until someone borrowed it and forgot where they got it.

Wooden pencils might seem like relics from an ancient era, along with handwriting itself. But I found myself needing  to use one of those relics recently and then realized I needed it's alter ego and equally archaic partner, the pencil sharpener. There are devices that brought a wave of nostalgia with crank handles and need to be bolted to a wall, and electric or battery powered ones that seemed costly and overkill for just occasional use. The simple plastic ones I remembered also brought memories of how they all had a tendency to easily pop open and spill wood and graphite shavings  all over whatever bag or drawer I carelessly dropped them in between use. That led to the curiously baffling chore of needing to weigh the pros and cons to choose such a simple device.  You need not devote any of your mental energy if in the same position, just buy this one. It's  sturdy, though the body is plastic. It screws securely shut so there's no chance of it accidentally popping open and making a shavings mess. It creates a sharp point at a reasonable angle to allow the tip to still be thick enough to have strength and not snap off under pressure as some will do. It's small enough to not take up excessive space in your bag or drawer though it's small size will necessitate that you remember to unscrew and empty the contents more frequently.  No idea how long the tiny razor blade inside holds a sufficient edge to do a good job. Staedtler is a German company and I suspect they use a metal that is longer lasting than a less notable manufacturer might. I bought mine from Amazon Prime and am completely happy with it (though no option to choose what color you prefer). Later I noticed an alternate seller on Amazon offered it, also with free delivery, for a third less. That's just a buck and a half difference, but hey, just thought I'd point that out. Happy sharpening!

My wife says why do you need these? After my order came in. They've been around forever. I've always had one on my dog tags even back when I was in Vietnam in 1970. I gave mine to a supply sergeant from Cloquet, MN about 12 years ago and I just miss it. I put 38+ years in the military and used it hundreds of times so I just needed a couple. They are a remnant of the past. They just don't come in MRE's.

I have had another version that I used as a money clip. But the clip broke , I came across this one it's not as sophisticated of a locking mechanism but works great as a money clip and something that can help defend you if needed

I have an older stapler (inherited) from my Grandfather when I was 10 or 11 (I'm 60) and hadn't had staples for it for awhile. Now I do again and they work great.

the metal sign was as I remember seeing them in gun shops in the past

We were so excited to receive the BIC 4-color grip stylus medium ballpoint pen with a tip to type messages on the phone. It seems my husband thinks it is his because I asked him to open the package. I'm glad he's enjoying it. I asked him to tell me what he thinks of it.

He said: Everyone likes it when an old favorite gets an upgrade and seems like it's new again. Here's a 4-color pen--red, black, green, and blue--with a soft tip good for pressing small buttons.

I bought this pen few years back, it is very convenient to have it in the  wallet at hand.  I just wish  it was again available  in stores.

I make and sell greeting cards to benefit our local library, and I thought I could use this gold leafing pen to highlight objects on my cards.  The Anniversary card in the customer image has the words 'My Sunshine' decorated with this Krylon Leafing pen.

Be sure to give the pen a good shaking before use, and then push the tip up and down on a piece of scrap paper to get the gold leaf down into the pen tip.  Once the gold starts showing up on your scrap paper, you are ready to go.  The pen is surprisingly easy to use.  Just be careful not to press down too hard, or you may get more gold leaf than you bargained for.

The gold leaf dries very quickly--within 10 minutes unless you applied it very thickly.

It's an old time toy from my past.
I will be getting it for great grands when they get a bit older.

Back in "the old days" - I mean old, the little pieces were random bits, not recognizable shapes of any kind, and there were more of them.  These seem to have been chosen for the mirror images they form, and it seems there are fewer of them.  HOWEVER, it is quite sturdy and pleasing to the recipient.

I'm retired Navy and carried one of these for many years. Now I'm retired and use this a lot. Old Timers are a National Treasure to me. Z.T.
