Description
I own an advertising specialty company - now in our 42nd year I am happy to report - and worked in the industry for many years prior to establishing my own firm.Over the years I collected many over-run samples, one-or-a-kind spec samples and the like.
I am now selling much of that collection via eBay. In the 1970's to now, among our suppliers of inexpensive but quality writing instruments was a company called Faber Castell. They were famous for their "Uni-Ball" line.
Here is an example of their salesman sample kit from the 1990's. It features many of their best sellers, including several of their Uni-Ball variations. The kit contains 16 different pens. All carry advertising imprints along with the style number for easy identification.
The kit is in padded vinyl, size 10" x 7" closed. Inside there is a velour tray with compartments for the 16 sample pens. There is a snap closure to secure it. As all retain the original refill, should the purchaser wish to write rather than display, new refills are needed. Interestingly enough, a couple even write a little bit.
Among the advertisers are:
Kentucky Fried Chicken, Zenith, Johnson Wax, Samsung, Howard Johnson's, Holiday Inn, Radisson, Quasar and others. A most interesting assortment or logos.
While this kit is over 25 years old, it is in outstanding condition.
Only .00 for a piece of U.S. ballpoint pen history. I see individual Faber Castell advertising pens listed for several dollars for just one instrument, sot all 16 of these - in a factory kit - in great condition - is a buy!
An excellent addition for anyone who collects nice unusual writing instruments or kits. PLUS you will receive a free personalized hand drawn "Thank You" note cartoon! A very rare find for sure.
From a smoke-free, pet-free climate controlled environment.
I have other writing instruments, pen kits, etc. from varied suppliers listed - assuming they are not yet sold.
