Vintage Advertising Ballpoint Pen Lot of 400+ 8 lb.

Description

Lot of over 400 Advertising Pens
All of the pens are in used condition and each shows wear with one or more of the following: scratches, nicks, dings, rub wear, scuff marks, oxidation, other metal wear, residue spots, staining, other markings, areas of discoloration, dents, areas of plating loss, tarnishing, printing wear, bent clips, separation of clip from body, staining, ink markings, broken off clips, cracking, and possibly other general wear. Be sure to check all of the pictures closely, including the additional pictures under the international shipping information listed below, for the best idea of the cosmetic condition of the pens. I have not tested any of the pens and I would guess that most, if not all do not write and any that might be used would need refills in order to do so. I have also not tested any of the pens functionality and cannot guarantee that a certain pen would operate mechanically, but would assume that at least some would operate mechanically as they were originally intended. I counted 429 pens in the lot, but could have missed a few during counting, but will guarantee at least 400 pens. The lot weighs  8 pounds and 11.4 ounces after being boxed for shipping. Most, if not all, are ballpoint pens, but there might be a mechanical pencil or two that slipped in. All of the pens have advertising printed and/or imprinted on them from various companies or entities throughout the United States, mostly small or mom and pop type companies. All of the pens included are what I would consider to be "budget" brand pens with some having maker marks and some not having any maker marks I could find. There are no pens that I would consider to be mid or high end in the lot. The pens appear to me to date from the 1950s to recent with the majority appearing to be from the 1960s-1990s. The pens will be placed directly in a plastic bag lined box as shown in the last picture above for shipment.
