My pen story

[TheVTCGuy]

Greetings everyone I have never posted in this forum because... well, the most valuable pen I own is one we gave out in the booth at tradeshows; it says: “Sony” on it. Worth about ... oh.... $.11 But I do have a pen I wanted to share.

When I graduated from High school in nineteen seventy blah de blah... My grandmother, (who lived to be 100 and came over from the old country in 1912) asked my mother to buy me a nice gift and insisted on paying for it. My mother got me the pen in the pictures.

It used to say: “Pierre Carin” on the side but that has long worn off. I still use this pen to sign important documents, like my last mortgage and a recent work contract.

No, it’s not worth anything, it’s a piece of junk compared to the nice writing instruments you guys have displayed on here (very nice collections by the way! ) But, it has been a special pen to me for the last 40 years. Maybe for another 40! I’ll use it to sign my death certificate
