Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their CA Retractable Pen. There is a picture of this impressive unit with the claim that it is “Wrought in 14 Karat Gold throughout” followed quickly by the price of $100.00. There is “No Cap” on this pen, the “point ‘clicks’ in and out!”. They also claim that the “Magic Sphere rolls the Ink on Dry”, that it “Writes up to 3 Years” and that it “Reloads Instantly with a Cartridge”. Myabe it’s just me but if I was going to spend $100 in 1946 money I would expect a man standing next to me ready to change the cartridge when it ran empty.
