Description: 2 Rare Vintage Bic 1970s Pens Mint Condition w/New Ink Cartridges THEY WRITE!!!This is the stuff of eBay. These are BRAND NEW-OLD-STOCK Bic pens from the 1970s which I have painstakingly restored with NEW Bic ink cartridge refills that look, fit, and write EXACTLY like the originals!!! First of all, these are FUN to use! The hexagonal barrel feels nostalgic in your hand because it was designed by inventor Marcel Bich in 1950 to mimic the look and feel of a pencil. He dropped the "H" from his name because it sounded too much like a French cussword, hired the top designers, artists and advertising pros, and sold the first disposable dependable ballpoint pen in 1953. In Journalism School (CARLETON), we were taught that if alien visitors came to observe how technologically advanced we are, they would not need to examine a smartphone or computer. They could tell from the incredible precision involved in engineering the metal ball in a Bic Cristal pen. So these nostalgic blasts from the past will take you back to your youth. Anytime you pick one up and marvel at its simplicity, whatever you write becomes magical. They even perked me up when I signed into the Los Angeles Mens Central Jail. (It only happened twice, okay???) The real reason I collect 40-year-old BIC pens and retrofit them with brand new BIC cartridge refills is because - like all antiques - they make you feel young again by recreating moments from your youth. Since 1953, counting only the Bic Cristal model (clear hexagonal barrel), Bic has produced over 100 BILLION pens worldwide. Add the millions of BILLIONS of Bic Orange pens, Big Round Stick pens, Bic shavers, and Bic lighters - and it's a wonder there's any room in any landfills anywhere anymore. Please save these pristine specimens from the trash bin by buying them now. After all, they were made in France, with the Bic logo proudly embossed on each barrel. Bic pens for the American market have been manufactured in Mexico for decades.Set of two, all refitted with brand new Bic cartridges, ready to write first time, every time. NOTE: These Bic pens are truly vintage, before child-proof caps were mandated by law. PLEASE treat these accordingly!!! DO NOT ALLOW A CHILD UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE TO USE THESE UNSUPERVISED. 12.00
