Mug Shots: The Fall

Clicking on any image here will take you to the page for that pen.  I’ve gathered them all in one place like this to give a sense of the shape of this era.  I don’t make any claims to the utility of this arrangement, but it does offer a sense of the shifts in consumer design which some manufacturers occasionally fail to notice.  For a description of the time, visit the History department.
