Mechanical Pencil And Ball Point "Jotters":

Had several sets of these - they were manufactured, I believe, in Janesville, Wisconsin. Very good stuff - all mine long gone to acquisitive customers when I first worked in sales. I knew a few folks who worked in the factory, at least one funny story I'll pass along privately at leisure.

I have the stainless pen, but not the pencil.
I like the way the write feel.

"acquisitive"... covers a multitude of sins... larcenist... thieving... pilfering... purloining.

At this point in time mine have remained in my possession for at least 17 years... touch wood.

Nice! That's the only BPP I bought, Parker T-Ball Jotters.

A good friend of mine spoke of "liberating" an item. A much more civilised version of the words commonly used. Cheers.

Even more "innocent" couchings of your inflection... "salvage", "found" lol

PS. @ Jeff,

I've got a couple of "Jotter" BPPs.
One I refilled with a Monteverde "EXTRAFINE" cartridge which I have
used long term too, and can recommend. I sourced a packet of
Monteverde refills of of Ebay many moons ago.

See below for order/model details:

I had that set for many years - don't know what happened to them.

The more I learn, the less I realise I know!"

Maybe the set was "liberated"?

They still make those in India. You can still buy them. I use a couple of them every day.

Apparently the Janesville factory was closed and production moved to France, and possibly, per the previous post, India as well. Often a customer would use my pen to sign an order. On occasion, absentmindedly, I'd like to think, pocket the pen and walk away. I had the pens through Senior High School and College. Lost them in the first year of field sales. For some reason, shifted to Cross and Mont Blanc which I managed to retain and still use.

One of my friends gave me this pen about 15 years ago. It's one of my favoriet pens as it's nice and large and is quite firm. It's easy to write with and puts out fairly wide blue script.
