Wearever "Free" pen

Blue pen in a blister pack with 12 cartridges.


How's that for an offer-- buy a pile of ink cartridges and get a pen that they'll fit inside!  Yet more proof of the astonishing cheapness value of Wearever pens!  The dictionary, by the way, would also cost a dollar-- which you had to send in cash rather than stamps, according to the coupon on the back.

Wearevers being the obscure creatures which they are, I've no idea what (if any) model name might apply to this pen.  I'm also disinclined to open the thing, as it has great novelty value in its current state.  It has a similar arrangement of point and feed to the Sheaffer Skripsert, which I believe ran for a little more than 98¢.

The careful observer will notice that the wetness component of the ink has long since fled.  That's genuine Wearever Ink Powder in those little plastic tubes now.

Specifications:  Steel point.  Cartridge filler.  As much puffery as it can handle.

Condition:  I suppose I could call it New Old Stock, as it's certainly never been used.  But it's a Wearever, so few will actually care.  

Repairs:  No.

Location:  My collection.

For sale?:  I'm not anxious to sell it, but it's not impossible.
