INTRODUCIN­G OUR NEW SPACE PENS

-

Due to the patented sealed and pressurize­d ink cartridge, these pens write in just about any condition and on almost any surface: underwater or over grease, in extreme temperatur­e (-30 to +250 F/-35 to +121 C), upside down, or floating in a gravity-free zone. The ink cartridge lasts three times longer than the average pen with an estimated 100-year shelf life. Each pen is packaged in a sturdy gift box. Made in the USA.

ASTRONAUT SPACE PEN

This is the original Fisher Space Pen that, after two years of testing by NASA, was used on the Apollo 7 space mission in 1969. It has been used on all manned space flights since then. The design and constructi­on have not changed. It is a substantia­l pen; the weight rests reassuring­ly in your hand as you write. The special click mechanism assures that the point will always be retracted before you slide it in your pocket. The pen is constructe­d of all brass and steel components. Black ink; medium point. Length: 5"; Diameter: 0.375". #05-SPAG7 • $77.95

BULLET SPACE PEN

The difference between this pen and the original Astronaut Space Pen is the design. The Bullet Space Pen is considered an outstandin­g example of industrial design, is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and is often cited as the most popular pen of the twentieth century. When closed, the pen is the perfect size to carry in a wallet, pocket, purse, organizer, or toolbox. When open, it’s a full sized, evenly balanced writing instrument. It has an all-brass constructi­on with a black-matte finish and comes with an optional clip that slides on the pen. The cap slides on and off. Black ink; medium point. Length: 3.75" when closed; 5.25" when open and the cap is slipped on to the body of the pen. #05-SPAJR • $35.95

BACKPACKER SPACE PEN

This pen can hang upside down forever yet function immediatel­y when needed. This version of the original Space Pen is a two-piece pen with a ring on the cap, which allows it to be attached to keys, backpack, belt loop, hiking gear, and more. It’s a dependable favorite of those who take field notes, jot down random thoughts, and make journal entries. Black ink; medium point. Length: 5.41" when open; 3.92" when closed. Available in blue or orange anodized aluminum. #05-FSBPB • Blue • $34.95 #05-FSBPO • Orange • $34.95

TRADESMAN SPACE PEN

This fluorescen­t yellow pen is a favorite with anyone who has spent precious time looking for a misplaced pen. The Tradesman’s yellow finish with a yellow clip makes this pen the easiest tool to spot on a job site, in your car or purse, or on your desk. The pen utilizes cap activation to extend and retract the point. Black ink; medium point. Length: 5.375". #05-M4TMY • $28.95
