Miscellaneous pens

Some of the pens in this exhibit are "big name" pens that ended up here simply because I don't have enough of them to warrant a separate exhibit, others are novelties or curiosities, while still others are modest pens from less well-known brands. A word about the "also-ran" pens here: Not everyone can be the starting quarterback or the belle of the ball, but these pens posess the inestimable virtue of having survived. They may not be the finest instruments ever made, but one can imagine the pride with which they may have been given or received as gifts, and the poems, mortgages, love letters, term papers, and business deals they may have helped to realize. That's why I've put them here along with the Big Names.
